Footman - The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia

I have a new personal piece from the series of toned paper monsters I have been working on. I have significantly increased my work on these pieces, and I have more completed pieces waiting to be shared. I will go into greater detail another day, but the grand idea for all of these has come into focus, and an end goal has been set, but that is all I can say for now.

Today's monster is the most perplexing Footman. The Footmen are one of the many monstrosities that are part of the Woven. Is there nothing that the Woven Shaper not attempt? Time will tell.

I have been making a point to scan the line art of all of these to have a complete record of the process and the various steps. You never know when the line art could come in handy.
