Description The Sacred Pool

Talisman boardgame expansion, cover artwork.
Β©Fantasy Flight Games/Games workshop

Acrylic, Approx 9" x 13".

Original artwork SOLD

The Dark Knight was brought to bay, and in the worst place possible - by the banks of The Sacred Pool.

This is the latest in a series of covers I have created for the Talisman board game and its associated expansions.

I enjoyed mixing a strong design sense (the Lady and her accompanying magical effect - all very symmetrical) with the more realistic action of the characters; the different elements being tied together by the lightingeffect upon the foreground figures, and the glowing runic rocks.

Details of the game can be found here:

Stunning. The different styles of lighting, from the shine of the skull to the matte skin of the background figure... the violet colour palette... it's realistic and yet so artistic as well. I hope I can become as good at lighting as you!

Sorry for the obscure reference. The Horned King was a villain in the children's fantasy novel, The Book of Three:
