Plague - Final Stage

While I do plan to still add in a background, that's going to take some time and consideration to be certain it lends well to the subject of the image. For now, though, Plague is finally fleshed out after several hours of hand-texturing/rendering the image. No pre-existing filters or textures were used, which is actually a first for me, though I used those methods sparingly anyway. Mainly, I wanted to prove to myself I could accomplish a polished image without the use of any form of "cheat."

I'm pretty pleased with the results. :}
