Concept sketch for the crazed king

I thought I would post this sketch of one of the new characters in Kendra Kandlestar 5. He is a king, but I don’t want to reveal his name at this time.

I actually showed a picture of him in an earlier post, but after writing some of the crucial scenes with him, I realized that the visual wasn’t matching his personality. Here’s the original sketch, which shows him looking rather benign:

This is the latest one and, as you can see, he looks a little more moody and perhaps not so kind. He plays a very important role in the new book.
