Exploratory Sketch. I had an idea for a church-like character that would fight the undead and went with this concept. It was gonna be a lot of white and gold.
Second take on the sketch. I wasn't really happy with the original take on the character and wanted to go with some natural characters to offset the unnaturality of a necromancer.
Third take on the sketch. I really liked the design of the centaur in the second sketch, but felt it wasn't splashy enough for a cover image and it didn't sell their fight against the dead.
