First I just want to start off saying this is my first ever skin. I went through some trial and errors, testing some shading tutorials and finally ended up using Yuki's Shading Tutorial.

Plague Doctor
A plague doctor was a special medical physician who saw those who had the plague. it did not matter what social class the people were, he would treat all of them. Usually employed by towns during the epidemic, other times hired by the city to treat the plague. Plague doctors wore a certain type of clothing. The protective suit consisted of a heavy fabric overcoat that was waxed, a mask with glass eye openings and a cone nose shaped like a beak to hold scented substances and straw.

Black Death
Here is a picture that shows how quickly the worst pandemic in Human History spread.

Little Short Story
Evio de Romano was once a loved priest in Rome, Italy. When Black Death Struck the city Evio set out to help these poor souls. Working his way through the city he cured the poor and the weak, they all needed his help. His quest to save Human life lead him from Rome all the way to London. In London Evio, now a very esteemed Plague Doctor; was contacted by the King to save his wife.
Evio accepted the King's request and rushed the king's wife. Night and day he relieved pain, gave her medicine, and finally resorted to praying to God for help. The king's wife finally died and Evio was hung for not stopping her death.

The End

Nice skin, but you need to have more contrast in the highlights and shadows :D I would suggest you look up some shading tutorials and see what the pro's say ^_^

It would be but I wanted to add a hood as the hat layer. Perhaps I could add little parts for the mask on the hat layer?
