Description
A event illustration painted for Total War: Warhammer's Beastmen campaign. Planes and characters were painted on separate layers and they are animated in game, which gives them added depth and atmosphere. It's a pleasure to see them come to life thanks to the work of Creative Assembly's animators.Related content

My my, you've been busy since I last checked your gallery... The whole Beastmen series is truly great work, and proof that there shouldn't necessarily be a conflict between artistic endeavours and commercial ventures. In almost every illustration so far, you've managed to find a fresh angle or, at the very least, a highly unusual one in such a context, and I really like the way you alternately bring out the human or the bestial in your grotesque "heroes". Kudos to Games Workshop (that most reviled of brands) for letting you experiment on that assignment.
This particular piece stands out for more obviously graphic reasons, but it also conveys a strong, eerie atmosphere. Not least because, as you watch -- with a mixture of awe and horror --Β the twisted shapes of these horrible fiends silhouetted against the mesmerising full moon, you slowly realise that you are one of them. Almost Lovecraftian in its punch.
