I love this picture!
I am writing a short Dungeons & Dragons game that others can download and play from the Dungeon Masters Guild website ( www.dmsguild.com/) where Abraxas is the final villain to fight. Any chance I can include your drawing of Abraxas?
I would, of course, include an attribution and your contact details in the story document, including your website if desired. If you're happy for me to do this, let me know by reply.
Cheers
Alan

It's just gone live now: www.dmsguild.com/product/25881…
Your vision of Abraxas is on page 8. It's free to download, but you might need to set up a free account on the website to access it.
Thanks again - love your work

It's actually a flail, flails and maces are very similar but the flail is the one with the chain and a mace usually just a ... stick with the metal ball on it? I can't describe it, but google flail and google mace and you will see the difference!

Pretty close to one, yeah. That's a mace :3 Easy way to remember it is that you can flail a flail around?

Very nice...are you using parchment or photoshopping the effect?

I photoshop the aged paper texture behind it, but the rest is just pencil, besides a bit of cleanup there's no further digital enhancements.
