Description Johannes Cabal, a necromancer of some little infamy.

From Jonathan L. Howard's series, which I highly recommend.

I started on the circle in the background as a graphic design exercise for myself in Illustrator and ended up sketching him in as well.

I think you've captured his likeness quite well. The man in this picture does seem like the kind who only "technically" smiles.

Hope it works out for you. If you need a certain sizing, I'll see if I can help so it'll match up.

The Johannes Cabal series is absolutely brilliant, and this artwork complements the series beautifully.

But to have the author's recognition, that is simply astounding. Congratulations redEight, you deserve it.

Thank you for the kind words.

The fact that the author himself shared it around speaks volumes about how cool of a guy he is and I'm glad that I picked up on such a fantastic series.
