...Sketchily. I MIGHT finish this, but who in their right mind would want a pic of some undead pale skinny guy in weird leather straps and funky (mummy) bandages? Then again, the sketchiness lends something to it.

Is this inspired by Diablo II? Or at least the title?

I think this drawing looks really great like it is, by the way.

I would want a pic of some undead pale skinny guy in weird leather straps and funky bandages! .....but then again some people might not agree that I'm in my right mind. ^_^' I like the sketchiness, it gives more character to the piece.

They eyes are yellow and all glowy-ish...... ^_^

Honestly, I think it would lose effect if you finished it and took away all the sketchiness. Sketchiness is good, especially in picture like this, so full of movement. It really helps the energy if it's sketchy. You might want to do more of a background, perhaps? I don't know, it could just be me, but it feels lacking in something. I like though, the way it's drawn and the guy's expression and such. Well drawn. Ack! And please do not do away with the sketchiness.

Sketchyyy...
Reminds me of my vision of Draco Malfoy. All of him.
Sorry, my understanding of that wacky thing called existance got over me again.

Night turns day
as the moon is too bright
the moon is too bright
for anyone to feel fright
and everyone sleeps sound
knowing moon guards
all
oh,
but they`re wrong -
this ins`t a fairy tale
this isn`t an opera, drama
this is the winged and pale
Death`s advocate
inadecuate
of people`s understanding of life -
he needs that knowledge not
being cold inside and hot
on the outside us, visitors, see.

White hair gleaming
under pale moon beaming
slender face
in cruel grimace...

Wings as black
as the dark side of the sun
(a T. Pratchet`s interesting pun)
wings not of a hawk
but of a bat
or... no, not of a bat
but of a demon.

But is his heart, his soul so grim?
What is he, really?
He`s just a human boy -
he studied law
he studied it hard.
A Harvard graduate?
Maybe. That is not
of importance now.
He`s smart enough
and calm to defend
the breakers of all laws
though
he was a human before
he is a human now no more.

Death is never guilty.
Cause Death has him.
He is immortal
a portal
needed for passing his skills
in all the next centuries
till matter is dead
till time goes to bed
next to matter
in the graveyard of nothingness...

I`m soooo sleepy! It`s 00:10 and I have to get up early tomorrow... But I`m glued to the PC by a Ruben de Vela.
Forgive my ridiculous ... whatevers, they just pop outa my head now, and my mind is too tired thus weak to hold them back.

A couple of people said this already, but the sketchiness makes him look awesomely evil. Awesomely evil guys are cool. ^_^
