Description Ambush! This schvaal is giving someone a nasty surprise.

Schvaal are the servants of Tyrassu, the Lord of Storms a.k.a. the Chained God. Once mundane beings (usually humans or trolls), they have been corrupted by the influence of Tyrassu, warped into cold, emaciated husks of their former selves. Whatever Tyrassu cannot corrupt in them he kills. This creates a wide disparity in intelligence between schvaal.

Individuals who welcome the Chained God's whispers of power are completely converted, leaving their minds virtually intact, creating a monster capable of using weapons, armor, and tactics in their war against Barruhund's people, the Ishellans. Those that resist the change and corruption are 'killed', leaving only their bodies behind as puppets for Tyrassu's use. These schvaal are little more than ravenous, merciless animals like the one pictured here.

Incredible. I love the frightening detail of this beast. I've been searching the deviant art archives for art to inspire my latest writing project, and this definitely fits the bill.

Glad you like it. That sucker took so narfing long to draw! Individual hairs, all the stippling in the snow... I am just glad he turned out so sinister.

Thank you.

I will be drawing more like it in the future; one will show up in my daily sketches soon. Hopefully you'll check back and find something else you like!
