Horsemen sketches

Had a mental glacier in the flow of creatinessity awhile back. Then saw the >Dark Siders< trailer and noticed my favourite comic artist, Joe Madureira was the Creative Lead! Dak Siders was the incentive to draw my own 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. The main idea was to (1.) draw draw draw again, and (2.) try to create 'em from a new perspective.
Drew Famin first outside a cafe in Brno, CZ, on a good day with my son. The rest folowed soon after.

Short descriptions:
"Famin": Cept eating his arms, War gave him gloves to stop doing it, it was embarrasing. He told him he'd eat them one more time when the gloves were done, insisted his nails could grow through. Wields a regrowing bone & tooth club, "food of the poor". Has "a mount" made only from fat and bone.
Origin: When man was still a young race, one's hunger was so absurd he took to eating men, children, all possible creatures... Eventually, even his own army. He seemed to
devouer the land around him by presence alone(or ate it), leaving a void in our race's early existance.

"Pestulence -the boy."
Origin:
A smart boy, bewondered by shaman and wise men, the workings of nature and the existance of life itself. Banished from his
- and every other settlement, after contracting a kind of plague. Roamed tirelessly, fed by anger and vindictive thought. Put all his effort in treating his fatal illnesses and gathering far more deseases. Not giving in to any of it, he became an utter vessel of corruption. His final act and effort was poisoning a whole river system, and like Famin, left a great void of human life.

"War": One is drawn from the conflict/deceit side of war. (no straight story idea yet)
- Death is the end of these three at the end of all, but has never had a mortal incarnation. So gwhat do I draw?
