Entwined- Xolotl design #4 (original drawing)
The final (for now) iteration of Death/Lightning. I’ve taken bits and pieces of reference from all of the above and created something somewhat new in the doing. This was drawn in a simple one point perspective, added in as an afterthought when I realised the chair necessitated the illusion of depth. Which is why it’s not quite right, but at least serviceable. The backward feet add the right touch of creepiness, and he still manages to look quite jolly at the same time. This took about 5 hours to complete.

Well you know, skulls (and I guess by extension suitably rotted corpses with the skin pulled super tight) always tend to look pretty cheerful.
Is there a story behind the backwards feet? :D
it's from reference images of the Aztec god Xolotl as drawn many many years ago. And from a spooky ghost story i was told a long time ago. as long as i don't have to animate it doing a walk cycle it will be fine :<
Oh goodness trying to walk cycle that does sound rather nightmarish! XD
