The Husk of Beauchene - Shahanetzul's Transition

Lady Beauchene devoured every word given to her by Shahanetzul. Beauchene would immediately begin attempting to master abilities just as soon as she had heard them, and this greatly delighted the old beast as it meant a stonger vessle for with which to carry out her own purposes. Months passed and Beauchene's skill grew and grew. She was able to begin a following, which soon became a congregation, which then became a cult. She would heal the sick, feed the hungry, and ease pains, all while loosing more of herself in the process. The more of Shahanetzul's power that was used, the more of Beauchene's being was siphoned into the creature's frame. To the devout, she could convince and inspire them that this degradation was really evolution; that she was becoming greater than anything ever seen on Earth. 

But Beauchene has never been so naive in her studies, and never has she been one to let someone else take a prize that she's wanting. She fights back against The Abandoned One's total influence with all the willpower she can muster as she searches for a way to sever the connection while retaining her new abilities. She will no longer be human if she can survive this, but then humanity was never a concern in the first place.

Inbetween (amrock.deviantart.com/art/Lady…) and (amrock.deviantart.com/art/Shah…).
This is the form that took the longest to do mainly because it was originally intended to be the last form. Coming up with this terrible thing was me sketching up a bunch of different scary looks that were inspired by different sources, goofing around and layering all of them on top of each other, liking the rough result, and then creating a single new form out of the mess of designs.  

The masks are for different ritualistic purposes. The one on the right is used for contacting Shahanetzul directly, the other one taps into the Abandoned Deities' realm.
