Did some further designs for my villain and started to think about the final illustration. Thought I'd also give a bit of a description of the character so you guys can see where I'm going with this.

This tyrant of an empress has come to power through the use of her ability to control shadows. She is able to teleport by using the shadows as a gate and can also form creatures out of the shadows. With an army that she created overthrowing the previous ruler was easy and now the people are kept at bay through violence and fear.

Some more development. Managed to get a base front and back view. Just need polish it up a bit further and then I can start the illustration.
