Description Another to add to the ever growing list of characters from the "Crucible" RP that my friends and I play...

This one took a while to figure out in my head, as there are no real "rules," in regard to how a "Vengeful Dead," character should look...

"Aside from a sense of wrongness the Vengeful Dead seem like ordinary men and women. But in reality, they are dead. Dead, and still walking. They cannot be killed easily, they bear weapons of unearthly light bound to their bodies, and they can rend the very soul from a victim. They have little enough concern for mortal problems, serving their mysterious patron first and foremost. While they will fight and kill any monster, the Vengeful Dead have a special hatred for Faeries. Some of them become little better than mindless automatons, fulfilling their duty and nothing else. Others desperately try to reclaim the life taken from them, or find a new one, and can be very sociable.
Ultimately, The Vengeful Dead are sad, grim things. While revered, feared, and respected, some feel as though their sacrifice is never truly honoured. In life, they could have been anyone. They almost always die violently, however. They meet with their patron – a glow and a voice in the dark which says 'YOU ARE WORTHY.' And awaken, their bodies whole once more, their purpose and powers clear to them,"

Sol, who you see here, is one such Vengeful Dead. ^ ^ He has been reduced to jam on several occasions by irate golems, and has an alarming tendancy to set fire to things... but he's a worthy ally to the team...

I hope to like it, Stringer, and to Grey (<---- Who OWNS Crucible, so hat's off to the man!) ... I should probably go fetch the straight-jackets right now... they're probably going to go mad seeing this...

That sentence just made me hollor laughing xD Jam Zombie! Delicious :9
Now, more serious -
This is probably my favourite of your works so far - a LOT of work has been put into this, and it shows
The gloves are my favourite part (but I'm biased, I adore armour designs anyway xD), and the energy sword looks incredible. The glow effects are VERY well done.
I like how he looks a bit dirty as well, especially the cape. It looks mouldy and sort of.. not wanting to move in turn with his body because it's just so dirty - that is, if that was your intention. If not, it's how I interpret it : p
Keep up the good work X3

Yup. He pissed it off, and it was like "GOLEM SMASH!" ... He was little else left but for squishy bits, and a hand giving a thumbs up... >_> It took about three rounds to knit himself together again...

Actually I'm glad you caught onto the whole "dirtyness," thing... that WAS actually the intention... cos he has no cares in "life" - for lack of a better word - he never takes care of his clothes. The Vengeful Dead are feared and awed, so people offer him clothes sometimes. The outfit he wears is a result of that...
I'm trying my best to start introducing texture to my more realistic peices, so seeing how you picked up on it, I must be going a step in the right direction... ^ ^

Don't worry... he's a zombie with a conscience... he won't bite! ^ ^ .... ... He might eat your soul though... >_>

This thing took over a month to do... You'd be well ahead of me, considering how slowly I work... >_>

Over a month's work crammed on here... I'm taking bets as to whether Stringer or Grey will lapse into a coma first...

Well I only met Grey briefly but since he seems to be the mentally stable(I could be wrong remember it was brief) of the 2 I'd say Stringer would go first(sorry buddy)

Yeah, you might be right... *Smirk* *Reads the comments* I think he's been put into intensive care already... >_>

Yes, I did just squee like a fangirl. No, I don't care that you know that.

But all I can really say is that this is one of the most insanely awesome things I have ever seen ever in the history of insanely awesome things.

I was actually taking bets on whether you or Grey would have to be admitted to Intensive care first...

Well, I was in a public library when I saw this, and I got some funny looks for acting as sqeeish as I did....
