A classical example of what happens when a party goes *too much* hot!! Someone throws some beer on the flames...
... erm... maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all...
...

My! That's a truly awesome representation - the lighting details on the demon are fantastic - even at such small size!! Great work!!

As much as i like art on his own, the best ones are always those that can tell a story... or even make the viewer dream one of his own...

Yes. It's Empire wizards accidentally summoning a Khorne chaos demon

Ha! Never underestimate the ability of a conjured demon to get totally, completely out of hand. What an eye-catcher!

RalphHorsley In reply to rachaelm5 [2007-03-08 19:17:27 +0000 UTC]
The idea was that it was accidentally summoned - I blame the guys in the library!

Yes I am a sucker for detail. If anything I can get too carried away... that was a wraparound book cover and sadly most oft he left hand side ended up obscured by text!

Sheblackdragon In reply to RalphHorsley [2007-03-08 20:31:18 +0000 UTC]
I bet it still looks great though, just a shame that the text got in the way, but at least we can see the fab painting in full with all its detail.

Yep, at least I have the full image to show how I want. Shame GW don't let you make prints

Sheblackdragon In reply to RalphHorsley [2007-03-09 00:40:48 +0000 UTC]
It would have done well as a print I would have thought. Is there no way you could ask them? Maybe they might let you personaly sell prints if you put GW's mark on it? It would be such a great painting for a print.

RalphHorsley In reply to Sheblackdragon [2007-03-09 07:44:26 +0000 UTC]
Sadly their contract for all freelance artists prohibits prints. It is a long running gripe freelancers have against them. It is because they retain use of the image for whatever purpose they want, and they do use them for their items. the demon from Tome of Corruption appeared on a t-shirt. First I knew was when I saw their shop page

Sheblackdragon In reply to RalphHorsley [2007-03-09 11:17:34 +0000 UTC]
Its seems a little sad that they did not let you know that they were going to put the demon on a t-shirt. I bet it was kinda cool though when you saw it!
