Noonwraith – Dark Digital Painting

The process of creating a monochromatic portrait inspired by the Slavic Noonwraith. In this piece, I stepped away from a smooth, digital finish in favor of a more painterly texture and distinct brushstrokes. To enhance the final effect and add depth to the image's structure, I incorporated fragments of a custom 3D model I sculpted some time ago. The whole composition relies on strong chiaroscuro and deliberate anatomical deformation to capture the eerie nature of the phantom.
