daily sketch (mixed): "Wither"

Ok ok, yes it's another "knight thing" but I promise I'm not even thinking about it, I am just magically drawn to draw these sorts of things now I guess.

In a lot of my past art I've been trying to use the paint bucket tool more. In my online course one of the repeating techniques is to save time by lassoing chunks of the painting and filling in base colors. It sounds silly but I do not like using the bucket tool and this daily is my cool off sketch- No paint bucket tool used at all. Again, it's a silly thing to fuss over, but with time it seems all the techniques that drove me crazy are now just part of my standard arsenal.

This sketch came from an idea I had a while ago where I wanted to use a race of highly radiated humans that ended up very skeletal and withered. I took a lot of inspiration from ghouls in the Fallout game series and appropriately these were used in a DnD game I hosted with my friends- the game being suspiciously Fallout-like. 

Anyway, this is sort of an adaptation I made with the idea of making a very skeletal race for an MMORPG like World of Warcraft. Despite my earlier description I wouldn't diagree... they're just the normal undead/zombie choice, but oh well- an early attempt at making a replacement for them. IF anything maybe these could at least be considered the "mummy version".
