Inspired by the ring wraiths and white Walkers I thought i’d do my own take on theme.
The idea is to make something that looks just between living and dead, but with a sense of nobility. Like an old slain king that refused to stay dead, and now haunts the living…
I’m hoping to pull it off with some subtlety as well, mainly through features and posture.
Anyhow, thought i’d post my work in progress in the hopes of getting some constructive feedback as I go along.
I haven’t gotten that far yet, but here’s what I have so far:
First, a very rough concept. I’ll be doing more of those to quickly rough out different compositions.
Here i’ve started with a base bust and roughed in the major features:
Some more work. I’m not trying to jump into detailing here but breaking up the surface and drawing in lines to get a sense of the flow. I know the ear looks like dog poop btw 
Lastly, a render in 3/4 view. Because I like to play with Keyshot
