Yes witch in snow white does come to mind. So mad is this one for the necromancers challenge, shall you pick up the gauntlet too.
A wonderful looking necro thus far, where do I click to learn more.

There is a resemblance, I'll admit to that 
Hard to come by a dentist in Sylvania I believe.
And yepp, he will be entered, that's why I'm painting him. More pictures will come when he is finished.

It was hard to tell in snow white what gender the witch was. All you need is a apple in the hand.
The necro is almost finished. Only thing left to do it to tidy up the base, end possibly and freehand stuff and/or dirt to his robes.
This is how he looks atm:
Feel free to comment and to pitch ideas for freehand stuff. Right now I'm thinking of dark symbols around the edges of his beige cloth.

Looking superb, as expected. Great work on the beige, the whole robe has a Jedi feel to it, hehe. Also loving the rust and the oxidation blueing on the handle & cross-guard...same goes for zombie's eyes and elbow. 
EDIT: As for the symbols, I'd go with dark red (again) maybe...not an expert on colour composition, but feel like it may "connect" with the red zombie bits, so to say.

That is a great idea for colouring, I had as usual only thought as far a black, but dark red would be awesome I think. Thanks again.
Any ideas on what symbols I could use? I always have trouble finding cool undeadish symbols. Something that could look a little like an evil alphabet would be cool.

Glad I could help.

Well, the first thing that springs to mind upong reading this is Daedric alphabet from The Elder Scrolls, or something in that style maybe. Although it's more daemonic than undeadish.

Why not use the cursed tongue of Mordor (or any other language, in fact) off LoTR? You can find that somewhere at the back of a LoTR book (any, I think, though maybe only the return of the king), or online. Tolkien actually wrote entire languages, not just a few words, so you've got a wide range to choose from.
Looks like robition has a run for his money. Though I feel the apple would of been a nice touch.
I think the cursed runes of mordor would be awesome.

I like both of those alphabets, nice suggestions. My brother came with one too, one so obviously correct it sickens me that I didn't thought of it. Ancient Egyptian, and no not the hieroglyphs, the more common everyday writing language that the priests and the trades used, called the hieratic and demotic scripts. If there is any language of the dead it would be Egyptian after all, I mean, Nagash's books were written in that language weren't they. It sounded good to me at least. Anyways, since I don't think I'm actually going to write anything meaningful on his robes I'll mix just all three alphabets together, using signs from them all, along with any signs that just pop into my head or accidentally happen when painting. Wish me luck!
count kill alot

Glad you guys liked him, and I can now inform you that he is completed!
After a lot of freehanding, a pile of mud, and a splatter of blood on his cloak he is now finally finished. Enjoy
Now it is time for more zombies!

Those bloody eyes on the zombie are awesome!! Love the freehand work. After Tawgs comment I have to make a robe of flesh on something with rotting insides..! Great way to use the CC driver, the pose is killer especially the streched out hand!
I do feel though that the bloodstains are somewhat too big or atleast need some smaller ones to indicate splatter.

I had never intended for the robe to look like flesh o.o
Not enough time Twag, there is never enough time.
Yea, the bloodsplatter didn't turn out too great, and sadly it is pretty hard to go back and fix it, adding some more small stain could be done though...

He is yummy do not forget to post him in the show us your necromancers for all the world to see. He turned out beautiful. This is going to be a rough challenge.
