Liche - lich: color version

Well, it was hard, to actually color it.

A lot harder than I thought it to be.

And I'm not too satisfied with it. But there it is. Here's the "sketch": kiorrik.deviantart.com/art/Lic…

Oh, my, lord. Done. Finally. Hand. Hurts.

A re-visit of this old sketch: fav.me/d2sfg2b
Started out as this: www.ditdoetdirk.nl/crap/sketch…
And the work in progress shots are in this topic: forums.celticsblog.com/index.p…

Yes, it's on an NBA blog, Celtics. I'm a fan.

About the drawing:

OH MY LORD MY HAND HURTS SO BADLY NOW. I'm working on a video game (concept art, game design document & gameplay mechanics) and this is one of the major characters, if not THE main guy. He's a lich, and becomes the king of all liches. As I've mentioned above, I've drawn this fella before, about 10 years ago. The link is up there, as you can see, and it's bad. I'm happy to see I've come this for -WITHOUT DOING ANY DRAWING-. Well, nearly no drawing.

Note that most of the decoration, the details and other stuff, are representations of his religion (the eye) or of his household (dragon) and others represent pestilence, decay, undead, etc.

It's been a pain but so much fun. There's so much to say, and a lot of the things I want to tell you are already in the topic I linked to... The main thing to tell I guess, is that I had lots of fun drawing this, mainly because it was my intend to set out and show the world that I *can* do more than just silly sketches, that I *can* finish a decent piece, that I *can* achieve the next level.

I hope this piece inspires others, because that's what good art does. I hope it makes you think "Hey, I can do that too!" and start working to actually do it.

Believe in yourself, people. And you'll do great things.
