Awggh, this is far from perfect, but I'm sick of working on it, so! Every year, Zeriara holds a contest/game/mass orgy called the Monster's Ball, wherein you choose a monster from pop culture and dress one of your personal characters up as them. This year, I went with a more classic monster and chose The Mummy. Leaning towards Karloff's version, but with some of the newer movie's influence as well.
I kind of designed this to look like a movie poster. My original idea was to replicate the old Mummy poster exactly (only with... Skade as the Mummy, clearly), layout and text-wise, but I went a slightly different route with it. I played around with the contrast and sketchiness to get it looking more like one of those older movie posters. So yes. I dunno. I may upload the textless, lower-contrast version to scraps later or something, as I think it's more flattering to the image, but less fitting with my idea.
And just for LOLs, here are my entries from years past:
It's pretty pathetic that I instantly recognized the line of diagonal text up there. The more recent version of that movie was my favourite movie for yeeears. This is really awesome!

That looks real bad ass! Especially the background! Kuddos on that! Yea you got the poster look down good, as for the mummy look is bang on! that and the coloring is superb! 8D good luck in de contest! but I wonder....who was the winners last year?
I think you nailed the physical appearance of the Mummy pretty damn well in this picture (well, as a bat I mean) as you did very well on the thin shape and shrunken texture of her body. The wrinkles from said shrinking really enhance the look of a dried corpse, particularly on her lips and shoulders, while the tones of her skin seem accurate for a long dead, preserved Skade (I noted her tones here being a bit darker and duller than her normal, living self and thought that was a nice touch). Additionally, I felt you also did well on the coloring and texture of the aged bandages as well.
Overall, I think you set up the movie poster look quite nicely with a fitting background and a seriously creepy looking Skade mummy to top it all off (The eyes being especially creepy). Very well done on this.
A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

It has such a fine atmosphere to it, with the dark colors and sketchy line art. Oh, and the eyes are just brilliant.

Shocking.
