Apprentice necromancer

Drew it today... Necro @ work ;)

well, i love the idea of "pulling" the spirit out of the dead body, but the actual necro appr. could use a bit more work. try making him move or some sort of action instead of just standing there. like have him squat down a bit and do something with his other hand.

gj tho. 8/10

I agree the soul taking thing is cool but the soul's head cudve been better... it looks like a protoss now. The corpse is very well drawn and so is the necro's face. But his hands seem too cartoony and small compared to the realism of his face. The folds on the clothe on his arms is not very well defined and should be larger since it makes his arms VERY thin and small plus with those small hands... it's ok but if u make it more loose it'll look better. his staff is ok til you reach the top the skull is too cartoony and his round non-menacing eyes need to be changed. his clothes are well done and detailed but are not very necromancer-ish. Add small pieces of armours and more skulls... Because in the current pic, he looks like any other mage or wizard. I like the design on his robe, try to integrate it more in the piece and it'll give him a more necro feel.
That's my suggestion and my comment and hey! I'm currently at my job ^^b

Thanks for comments =)
Soul thing is kinda messed up, i was going for 'not yet fully materialized' look but as always i screwed up =/
Tried to make him look like lil bening back (dunno if its right word) - thats why he holds his staff like this and has bended knees.
His hands are ok to me... Hand should fully cover face when fully opened, and so do his hands...
He look like this coz i wanted to mae him look like fallen priest/mage (hence former staff on his back and not fully necromantish clothes along with lil Lordaeron's 'L' under belt on his chest), with thin arms coz necros are kinda thin i think (lol, nice phrase).
Skull is crappy, didnt notice earlier =p

Note:
People with genes of workers have very big hands, intellectualists tend to have smaller and more delicate hands.

I will post another pic of him soon.

i like the idea, but I would suggest lots of hand studies. LOTS AND LOTS of them. It looks like your victim here has 2 right hands....Fill a sketchbook with just drawings of your hands, hands from pictures, other peoples hands, all from reference. The skull is crappy, but landing your hands on a skull is difficult. I really like the idea, and I see a shitload of potential, but study study study, draw from life, and study some more.
