Description Those touched by the burning kiss of the Dragon Lich Kul'Nar are imbued with the essence of her rage, doomed to forever walk the earth as a berserk undead. A full size army will swiftly be consumed their own fallen well before they ever reach the Dragoness in combat. Fortunately for the rest of the world Kul'Nar has been bound deep underground by the Lich, as not one among them is yet capable of controlling her intense rage.

The "Charred" undead are unstable and highly aggressive due to the method of their creation, and will even attack other undead. Only an Elite class Necromancer or Lich has any hope of breaking their will and keeping them under control. They're as much a threat to the Necromancers as they are to their enemies. Its for this reason that Lord Baulter will never allow Kul'Nar to see the light of day.

The "Charred" become ravenous killers just seconds after turning and will attack anyone in range of their senses. As if their infectious bite wern't bad enough their bodies are also covered by an ever burning black tar that is lethal to the touch. All this and they are still capable of fighting with the prowess and intelligence they had in life. Their victims will be stabbed, burned, and bit to death, after which they have an eternity of undeath to look forward too.

I love the expression! The pose! The emotion! The cloth! The hatching! There is nothing about the style of this drawing I don't love.

So, why exactly does the fire work that way out of curiosity? What is the difference between regular fire and zombie dragon fire?

Oh yeah Since Kul'Nar is undead she doesn't produce proper fire like her baby sister Tephris can.

So she can only spew a choking black corrosive plumb of smoke. Since it comes from an ancient dragon its constantly smoldering. Since she's also a Lich its also has a virulent necrotizing effect.

All that and she's still has the power to crush armies under foot with her massive strength. O.o A single tail swipe could decimate an army alone, though that might actually be a more human way to go. XD

I see. So it's like an airborn virus, like the common cold, only catching it is 100% effective and chance of death(or undeath) is avsolute.

BLASPHOMY!

Thanks a ton! ^_^

it took me quite a while to get his pose right... actually it took me quite a while to figure out what style of undead to even draw.

The ideas are starting to slow down and its taking much more effort to plan out an original one. O.o

Maybe its time to start a different series of sketches. XD

Thank you so much!

I was really hoping to that I might succeed in capturing the proper feeling of anguish this creature constantly bears. ^_^

You could try and put it in colour I suppose and see how that goes, but i think its working fine at the moment

Thanks for the suggestion. ^_^

I have alot of sketches that would probably look alot better if they were fully inked and colored so but no time to do so with all of them. =. =

I'll give those pieces that prove to be more popular the full treatment. ^_~
