Hey, everyone!

I've been living under a rock lately and didn't know about such an amazing contest.

I was always kinda into necromancers. But for this ocasion I'd like to add some voodoo flavor to it.

Let's do it!

So yeah. Basicaly he is a former voodoo shaman. He was banished from the tribe after few unfortunate voodoo experiments. Now he walks stray trying to find someone to have a friendly conversation. But those meetings always finish badly for stranges. Being a crafty shaman he brings them back to life. This wierd communication with dead people hurts his mental helth tho. Well who's life is easy in this day and age...

So I made a pencil sketch. and started looking for a silhouette...

As result I felt okay (but not great still) to focus on the tribal skirt mass and overall downwards heavy dynamic in the shape of triangle.

Now I have front and back base figure to test different outfits.
I think I'll go on and find some tribal clothing refference to compliment his voodoo image.

Got an idea to put him on stilt. This way he can see everything after resurecting a horde of zombies. Starting to see possibilities with overall shape.

Possible head design

Thanks! hope I'll make it in time

WIP

well I'm okay with this palette I guess...

It is very heartwarming to read such a comment, since I spent so much time to do the colors right. Thank you!

Proceeding with some details and minor composition fixes

On my vacation right now, but still trying to finish my work. I was very glad to hear about the extension of the deadline
