Baron Sigar Dreadhowl, Architect of the Undying Line
In life, none were more loyal to the crown of Lordaeron than the knight who would follow his prince into undeath. When the fallen prince of Lordaeron became the Lich King, the knight was made into Sigar Dreadhowl, a Death Knight known for a piercing, soul-shattering wail that rivaled that of any Banshee in the Scourge’s employ.
Although the Lich King would fall, Sigar feigned enmity toward his former master, infiltrating the Horde and waited. Through subtle machination, he convinced a band of heroes– veterans of the Horde banded together to stand against any and all that threatened it– to bring about the return of the Lich King’s unholy reign. They learned too late what their actions had wrought.
They were the first to stand against the ascension of an even more powerful Lich King, and as reward for their valor, were the first to fall.
Rewarded for his duplicity and loyalty, Sigar Dreadhowl was named Baron of the Scourge, bestowed with the Helm of Dominion, and tasked to server as the Lich King’s own right hand.
His first act as Baron of the Scourge– Raising the heroes he had deceived and slain into the Lich King’s greatest champions.
This piece was a long time coming. Each of these are taking longer and longer to finish. I aim to be swifter from this point out, but I may put this project on ice for a bit and work on some different things that don’t require as much research and planning.
I’ve begun streaming more regularly, and I’m putting most of my new stuff on Patreon where they sit for a week while patrons have first look at them. Then I’ll upload them here. Here’s how you can keep track of what I’m working on:

Even more sketches from my Twitch Streams:
Stream Sketches (3/4)
These are the sketches that I did on request during my Twitch stream on March 4th.
Now, these were technically post-stream, but I still had a lot of fun with them. One of my friends in WoW has a character who lost part of his arm and has a prosthetic that feels like it came out of the Jaime Lannister collection. Took the liberty to do some conceptualizing.
