Harvesting battlefield. This is a quick sketch, one of parts of the future art.

Have you ever been tempted to paint something terrible?

I like where the idea is going, and the faces really give it a sense of eeriness and creep factor. It wasn't clear to me on the element though when seeing just the images, I wouldn't have been able to guess beside the fact you wrote it down. I would suggest to incorporate it more, and the b/w thumbnail you have I actually thought it was lightning. Maybe fire coming from the throat of these creatures? Would make for some epic lighting

This is final art sketch (Maybe not the last).

@nesokaiyoh thank you for your comment!
Moving to the final version of the scene. Added a little tone, without light and shadow. By the way, swords are the souls of warriors. During life, rage consumed their hearts. Reapers help dead warriors move into the afterlife.

I'm interested as to why you took a different approach to it, your other idea was amazing! The new ones are awesome too, a lot more up close and personal and I think it works well. The idea of the lightning connecting with the sword definitely gives it an eerie feeling
