Runefang
Black Library novel cover; ©Games Workshop Acrylic, Approx 13" x 20". Original artwork SOLD. The mythical sword Runefang is capable of destroying all the enemies of the Empire... and it will need to! This was painted a little while ago, around the same time as Curse of the Necrarch, but I had failed to post it sooner The composition was dictated to me, but I had fun with portraying the undead, and mass battle scene. I chose a lighter patch of sky and some glint on the blade to add focus to the tip, as I knew the trade dress was going to fall across the middle. Here it is with the trade dress: [link] |

Take a gander, like what you see, why not buy a print?

Very cool painting Ralph, I love all the detail in the zombies and how you used the light on the sword. Nice one!
Sorry I didnt comment or critique the last few, busy .....
Anyway, yeah this is a heck of a piece.
Its too bad that the artists arent more of a priority when the books are described..... I could probably find so many artists to study should I know the artist and not have the book.
The blade isnt as reflective as I know your skills are capable of, but I guess with the lettering in the background you wouldn't want to over do it. ^_^
The mountains seem a little odd, or maybe not 'far' enough..... but other than that you have gone and done it again
