This is my entry for the current Malazan Art Guild's contest. Maybe it's enough for the last place, since I'm NOT really content with how it came out. But it's not digital art, so no going back and redoing and I've got no time to start all over again.

Anyway, here's the part of discription from Midnight Tides I used for this pic:
----------
For a figure was standing upon the trail. Skin the colour of bleached linen, tall as an Edur, a face obscured by dark streaks, as if blood-stained fingers had drawn down the gaunt cheeks. An apparition, the dull red eyes burning from those deep sockets dead. Mould hung in ragged sheets from rotting armour. Two scabbards, both empty.
Wraiths swarmed at the figure's feet, as if in worship.

[...] Etched details on the long, pallid face, the flat, filmed eyes [...]

The wraiths had slipped away, back among the trees. But a new tide had come to swarm about the ghost's tattered boots. Mice, a seething mass pouring up the trail. [...]
----------

And YES, I forgot the boots *ashamed*
Silchas is supposed to look very gaunt. I tried, but the fact that the ribs are showing is obscured by armour
