Hail to the King

Inspired by Avenged Sevenfold's "Hail to the King," this piece was done in weighted graphite pencils on 8.5"x11" soft white sketchbook paper, this is a beautifully detailed scene of a skeleton king sitting on an outdoor throne flanked by rosebushes in a crumbling castle courtyard. Rising from the smoke behind him comes an evil hooded figure, featuring Deathbat-style wings, who has puppet strings on the empty bones of the skeleton king. Don't focus so hard on the bad results that you forget to see the evil that drives them.
