I was inspired from Heroes III of Might and Magic, from Scholar, Sorcery, Necromancy and Learning... it looks like them, well actually no.

Anyway, here's the big picture, not as usual 300x300

(204x204)

I3lackdeath suggested some shading to be put so, here's the final result... I hope I don't have to edit this soon... again.



No credits please.
Edit if you want.
White candles and blue flames (suggested by Kingz) might be a good color variation, try it out if you don't like mine.

Well, yeah JollyD :D

It's kinda... a huge one.



Yes, correct Kingz, I'll try this one.
*Something like that?

I didn't make it well... but there's one problem, the glow is kinda too blue and when you lighten it it becomes, you know, as you see it, like a circle... I'll just make the glow anew, cuz I have it as a different layer but how will other people manage to change their version of this if they don't have it as a layer? Never mind... no one will use it anyway xD

Yeah, whatever.

Well, yeah now I see it, it needs some shading around the nose and some lightening so that it can "go forward" and look more realistic.
Not necessarily, it's the whole structure of the skull. No human (even extinct races) has/had a skull with that shape. It looks like the skull of an infant, still distorted from the process of birth. The jaw portion's also wrong. If you need some aid on how to re-produce skull structures, there are several tutorials on deviantart and I can link you to a site that (I believe) PeeKay once linked for showing how to create well-proportioned faces.

Well, no, Kingz suggested that as a color variation... and it will lose that gothic and... ancient is not the word, but I hope you understand what I mean. White candles have no color, color is quite important... and I can't make good color variations with white except for gray and black... anyway, blue flames would look cool I guess, but necromancers use blue flames for spells (warlocks green, etc.) but I think they'd use normal candles.


If someone doesn't like it, he can always ask me to make him a blue variation since I have it in layers and it won't take any of my time, or I can upload some under it, as .bmp files. Probably tomorrow.
