Nuckalavee by FadingGlory

These creatures are terrifying and I don't know why they exist. X'D This definitely needs an explanation... @Spectral-Ashwood requested I create a Nuckalavee as part of our design trade. They are horse-human demons made of only muscle and bone, found in Orcadian mythology.

Since this one is an ice Nuckalavee, the creature likely serves as a harbinger of winter freezes and plague, destroying crops and killing livestock.

If you'd like a drawing tip, you can draw all the muscle and stuff by just throwing around some lines. Reference might help to give you an idea of what looks right. And of course, you're welcome to change up anything to your liking. x)

Enjoy!

Re: It was definitely meant to be a joke, but I did feel like a few ppl were reading into it a bit much. Ofc it's hard for me to back down in arguments tho, I'm just glad it didn't go too far haha. X'D

Re: I don't know x'D it just happens?

Hands I do better if they are holding something, like a staff or sword

Face just take practice like everything else, I also find characters with bangs easier to do,
I'm not that great at any of it, I just draw, and you can't grow if the canvas always stays blank

Re: I’m not really sure, I know a lot of people brought out signs that had different statements and stances on them and refused to go back to class when told to do so. All I know is that it was about the parkland shooting last week, as south Florida isn’t far away from my own school.

Re// Thank you! I'm usually not good at landscapes/scenery. I was wondering if there's anything you'd want me to draw, like for Zeharu, Xanos or Niironox that you've always been curious about? (Like islands, kingdoms, etc...)

Fading of the Glory! Wanna do a small collab? I was thinking you could draw Nekana doing something/posing and I add Rin in bugging her. (I wanna do art of Rin bugging as many Zeharu as he can, but I figured it be more fun if you guys (the owners) drew your own Zeharu in)
