Description
This is Zayl - The Necromancer from the Book "Diablo 3-Kingdom of Shadow"(I only read the 3. book of Diablo till now)
I loove Zayl and his character so I had to draw him^^
Soooo, some facts about him and the book I referred to (may contain Spoilers):
- Zayl is young.... I would guess 23 and he grew up in jungle
- he has a companion who's a scull; the last remains of a man called Humbart Wessel, very clever but a chatterbox;
Zayl prefers to keep Humbart undercover
- normally Zayl (and every other Necromancer) does not show many emotions and he is a calm guy but sometimes he flustered
- although he's a loner he found friends: a captain of a mercenary force called Kentril Dumon and his friend Gorst, the Barbarian (the big guy with the black hair)
- the tiny, ugly gaffer is Quov Tsin, a self-opinionated wizard (Zayl hates him)
- Zayl can raise the dead and a lot of more magic stuff
- once he nearly died by getting transmuted into a stalactite; Gorst found him after Zayl freed himself
- Necromancer are hated but actually they are nice :3
- Captain Dumon got turned his head by a princess
- Gorst is fascinated by magic ...
I drew the scenes that stayed in my mind
and I don't know if the characters look like that; its just how I imagine them.
Actually Zayl has black hair but I tried to combine him with the necromancer of the game.
This pic took me very very long but was fun to draw it
You should read the book! Its awesome!!

This is brilliant, honestly. I searched for some fanart of the book-Diablo characters (such a shame there is so little of them) and found this and it's really, really brilliant.
Brilliant, fascinating, funny, cool, adorable, magnificent, superb and just simply great. (Ran out of superlatives)
Just fyi.

Zayl is cool and I would like to have a Humbart myself, at least sometimes. Comes in handy, though sometimes it would be better if he just would shut up. -.-'
Nicely done, btw.

Eep. Should I read the book? *Should I make another necromancer. That would be insanity, I guess. No-one plays a Necromancer twice if they are sane... but really that was my dad, I was, like.... five.... Jeez, I'm such a wierd shild... O.o*

i love it. specially the "no reaction" bubble. i would probably only change the fact that zayl had black hair (but you cleared that up on the msg already) and that quov'tsin isn't wearing his typical turinash (vizjerei robe). other than that, great work

i believe it's quite detailed on demonsbane (although that book isn't as good as the Knaak ones, but at least it's short)

it's ok. not nearly as good as the kingdom of shadow (which imo is the best, next to birthright and moon of the spider)

And I want to ask a question: you said that "Actually Zayl has black hair", but I don't remember this in the book. Can you tell me, in what episode it was wrote, please?

s0s2 In reply to Storminka [2010-07-27 11:48:25 +0000 UTC]
I first noticed that in the 4th book, I think. It's called Moon of the Spider. They say several times that Zayls hair is black.
But to be honest, I think the gray hair fits better. ^^

O.O aww, thats too bad because this book mostly deals with Zayl! He is the main character. It was really awesome. If you have the chance to buy it, BUY IT! ^^

Nemo-DarKnight [2010-07-16 16:11:19 +0000 UTC]
Hahahaha great! Zayl is my favourite character of that book too.
In my country it's too difficult find the Diablo books, I only have Kingdom of Shadows and The Black Road.
I like the image of Gorst fascinated with Zayl's magic.

Yeah, it was also pretty hard for me. I had to buy it from the internet.
It's a pity that awesome books like these aren't well known... ):
btw: Zayl also appears in "Moon of the Spider" but as a real main character. I also loved this one.
Hehe, Thanks!^^

Canis-Angst In reply to s0s2 [2010-05-11 21:58:18 +0000 UTC]
I'm not sure, though I really hope so. xD
(Maybe with the release of the 3rd game, they might
make another book?)
Since Ureh is supposed to be in the upcoming
game, theres been a rumor that Zayl might be featured in it.
I'm kind of doubtful given the time gap, but its something
to ponder. xD
