! Last minute submissions, gah!

I read about the competiton weeks ago, and was determined to submit something. Then I forgot about it until yesterday, so all of today has been spent painting this thing.

I'll be the first to say, it's nowhere near what i'd have liked to submit, being more an exercise in speedily painting than refined form. So, on that note I will rework this! even just to sate my own perceived shortcomings. Anyway...

This particular death collosus is spawned in areas where the ground itself is tainted with death; graveyards, battlefields, areas where the dead rot together in the earth. And, as the putriescence seeps into the ground, the soil itself answers the call of death, rising up in a flurry of bile and decay.

The collosus itself isn't very powerful, being very slow moving, and very uncoordinated, due to the symbiosis of so many different (rotten) minds. However, it is hardy, and can withstand a brutal attack, all the while zombie and skeleton allies spewing from a torn, bloated stomach. In terms of tactics, the collosus itself will need a lot of single target DPS to bring it down, whilst there will need to be a sembelance of crowd control on the undead mobs it spawns.

Materials:
Traditional elements:
2H staedtler wooden pencil
HB staedtler clutch pencil
Daler Rowney Bristol Board @ 250gsm
Digital elements
Wacom Intuos
Adobe PhotoShop CS5

Time:
Total = ~8 hours
