#minecraft wither

Minecraft wither concept art redo, I’m still not happy with it, but it’s getting there,

I’ve always had such issues with drawing the wither, it’s such a goofy looking mob if you remove the threat of it all. Not that you’d realistically be seeing the entity itself anyways, as similar to a black hole it is usually surrounded by a cloud of smoke and debris.

Its body is inconsistent, it’s an ever changing amalgamation, corpses infected with the withering disease are dragged towards the spiritual gravitational center and rearranged to make for spare parts and “cannon fire”. Often they are veiled below a thin layer of “skin”. Heads are replaced, any body it is part of will be regurgitated and replaced by more victims.

Here’s one of my instagram story ramblings about the wither to go along with it.

The Angel of Death

A small sketch of my favourite boss from Minecraft :^

I imagine him to be an amalgamation of souls, tightly pressed together in the Nether Star, which control burned remains of the deceased.

Simple physical process. Sand is being compressed under the influence of temperature and pressure to become glass. Soul sand becomes something similar, yet contains energy of souls, which it releases, forming a core structure of the Wither.

Since this creature is driven by will of countless souls who were doomed to eternal suffering, everything living would become target for his wrath.
