This is Mirage, redesigned. No longer is he a sentient, homicidal, blood covered bush.
Who is Mirage? He was once a dragon. No he is only a shell, denying his true form out of vanity, moving his old skin as a puppeteer practises his craft. His power is of illusion, and it is one he excercises on both his prey, and himself. Hunter and prey both share the same ultimate fate... to rot away, to be put to waste as their spirits are slowly torn apart.
Mirage is evil, and gains his only pleasures in life from inflicting greater torment on his victims than the considerable suffering he is burdened with at all times. He is a creature of magic, and has no real need for a physical body or the maintainence of such... when he bleeds, it is not his own blood that spills. His is long spent.
Done in pencil over multiple hours, in between attempts to regain sanity after putting those details into every scale.
Very good concept I'd say. You could do a bit more with the tendrils that wrap around the remains of his right wing...they look a little 2D, even though they encircle the bone. But all in all, nice work!
