The Pallid Horde Rises

Okay, I gotta mention it even though this artwork hides any and all eyes and complaining about that is my whole shtick now: the perspective and proportions are excellent. Usually there’s something off about the shaping of limbs, the angle of planes and whatnot. But here, everything is scaled appropriately, and the subtle foreshortening is executed flawlessly.

Truly fantastic work. Also why did you draw this guy walking over my backyard

Excellent work! The colors are great in both versions, and the “horde” is appropriately terrifying. The symbol the knight holds gives me the vibes of either a cleric’s holy symbol from D&D the knight is using to protect themselves, or a cursed item that has summoned these horrid creatures, either of which I believe works! The one thing I’m not sure about is how blobby the belt is, but I’m hardly an expert in how knights’ belts should look, so feel free to disregard that.

Overall, amazing job!

@Ghid thank you! I had a pretty decent reference photo to work off of. I’d been having art block for almost a month, so I guess once I had an idea I really dialed in. @Zhyndea thank you! The intended meaning is that the amulet is causing the zombies, so I’m glad that’s clear. As for the belt, they did tend to be looped in the way I depicted this one, but I can’t say I put the most effort into the shaping of it.

Th is is a really awesome artwork you made. Say isn’t there another variant of this but where his armor and clothes are not completely red, but rather in a realistic color somewhere in your files? I mean I had a feeling this art looks like it is based on Elden Ring or something.

Thanks. You’re probably referring to a different drawing of the same character you might have seen on my instagram. This guy isn’t from Elden Ring; just my own character I like to use

If I had a dollar for every time Sabretooth made unintentionally perfect pfp material, I’d be filthy stinking rich :sunglasses: :money_with_wings: :money_bag:

The dark red tones really help the eerie ness of this. Nice.

Okay I find this downright unsettling and yet an awesome trinket.

Awesome work, as usual! The colors and details are immensely evocative. I question whether the titular Pallid Horde will rise any further considering they appear to be in some pretty solid ground… depending on whether they can get any leverage at all, they might just flail their hands around dramatically. =P
