DnD Lich-like Character Concept Art

This was a random design I whipped up one day and rendered digitally; I wanted to try my hand at making a DnD-esque character, and so I chose to make a lich. Since I envisioned it to be a party member rather than some random enemy, I tried to give it some flair with its attire and mask. Since lichs are all about death and evil in Dnd I thought I'd subvert expectations by making this one seemingly able to wield holy/life-oriented powers, as evidenced by the abundance of green in the design (+ the grass coat its wearing).

This was my first drawing using CLIP STUDIO PAINT (which I recently bought), so it was not only satisfying to draw but also really fun to mess with the tools available! In this piece I mainly made use of the 3D model references available in the app as well as the Perceptual Color Mixing, which mixes and smudges colors like how real paint would (hence the use of vibrant colors for this piece). I am overall very glad with the design, and I especially like how the lighting came out !
