Red Ghost

I was inspired to create this after reading the folklore tale of the Red Ghost of Arizona, a huge red beast with demon rider that was spotted terrorising the American frontier in the late 1800s.
The folklore became truth when the beast was killed, revealing it to be a camel with a skeleton strapped tightly to it's back.

Initial sketches.
As you can see from the bottom middle I originally was going to go for a more factual depiction, but ended up going with a more dynamic and interesting pose.
