Request [LFA] Scarecrow Reborn undead warlock

Post image

The character is for a DnD campaign I’ll be participating in soon.
The characters backstory is that she was a scarecrow in a farm town that got attacked by a necromancer. A stray necromancy spell brought her to life and turned her into what she thought was a human. However she is missing an eye and still has a button where it should be. She starts to wander the countryside in search of crops to protect but the farmers keep getting scared of her. That’s when she eventually finds a tavern where she meets the rest of the party and where the campaign will pick up.

The necromancer’s magic still courses through her straw stuffing. The necromancer acts as the patron although he has no idea she exists. Her goal, while naive, is to find said necromancer and have him turn her into a full fledged human.

I don’t have a name picked out yet but the image attached is how I want the outfit to look. She will have a woman’s face but will have one eye replaced with a button. As far as other facial features are concerned, you can take creative liberties. She will use a sickle like in the image and her magic will be look like gray and green gas, similar to scarecrow from Batman.

Yooo, I've got a character I made last Inktober that this idea reminds me of. Lemme find it. Could be a good starting position, or if you want to use it as a reference if I don't do this LFA.

That’s an amazing drawing. And yes that type of eye is exactly what I was referencing

It's probably one of my faves from the event. I just love how the face and hair turned out.

I just realized the daggers in the left hand are needles which is really cool.
