Although I don't do this too often, there are some H2 characters (and enemies) that started out as hand drawings first. I made a cool screenshot of my initial drawing for this guy, codenamed "Treasurer" and his actual in-game sprite.
As you can see, it's prety close although the shield is smaller and the armor's not so bulky. Luckily it looks really great animation-wise, which is always the hardest part of making any game for me.
To give you a rough idea on how hard this particular enemy is, it's about 20x as strong as H1's Dracula (!!) And it's not even a boss. Hooray!!

Perhaps some bold shiney reflections on his armour too?
