Description
13 Nights 2009 continues with The MummyThis was another piece where I experimented with contrast. Not so much color this time as value.

This was also a challenge of detail and pattern with the wraps.
My final thought is,if I were to do it again I would make it less "Busy"
Cheers
Grimmy

I find the face a bit too 'round' for the Mummy (need some shadows under those cheekbones and under that chin) but the mood is great, and the lighting works perfectly.

I agree with SoleilStarr -- I don't find it busy either. In fact, I like the detail mummy bandages offer. I think it makes them fun to draw.
Good work!
