Description This is Umbra, a character of mine that's featured in an original story I've recently begun. For those of you interested in reading it, I will post it on FictionPress.net soon.

I'm really proud of this one. I started it on a whim-I was in a 'Halloweeny'-type mood and wanted to draw something...well...Halloweeny. It turned into Umbra, and once I finished it I was struck with an idea for a story.

His hair....irks me. That's the only part of him that I just couldn't seem to get right...Maybe I shoulda just made him bald...

He looks frightening, but he's actually a kind and gentle creature, as demonstrated by the butterfly that's perched on his skeletal finger.

Umbra means shadow in Latin, by the way.
