4e D&D Skeletons

Acrylics, approx 7" x 11"

©Wizards of the Coast. 4e Monster Manual; Interior Illustration.

Original artwork SOLD

A fearsome undead quartet faces off the adventurers, as a fireball hurtles towards them signalling the start of the fight.

I was asked to present the four different types (which I can't discuss yet) of Skeleton in equal proportion, in a line, with minimal background. In this respect the brief was quite restrictive, intended to clearly show the figures, rather than create the most dramatic image.

I tried to use the fireball to generate some interest through it's highlight and the lighting it would generate.

I've always thought of skeletons as simple goons and infantry, but these ones are far superior!
