Fleshy arms

Here's another picture for the atbook. I drew this and a second illustration on Sunday, but had to drop the idea for that other one, although I already finished the drawing. But after having slept on it, it looked kind of rediculous to me. So I'll have to rethink that idea.





It's actually another "Nachzehrer", there are historical accounts on corpses lying in their graves and gnawing at their own flesh, who then causes the living people around them to die.
Again there's a Christian symbol in this picture, because believes of evil undead creatures in Europe came up when the Christian church took over the continent. The evil undead were an instrument to gain power over the people, because they were in opposition to the "good undead", meaning the saints and this idea was supposed to frighten people into behaving the way the church enjoined them to.
