Thousand Thrones
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay cover artwork.

Acrylic, approx 14" x 18"

© Black Industries, Games Workshop Ltd.

Original artwork for sale; UK£600.

They had paraded for countless miles, yet still their cracked voices rang out in worshipful song.

This was a recently completed cover for the forthcoming WFRP supplement. I wanted to capture the classic grimy Warhammer feel, and mood.

I choose a palette that ranged form yellow to deep purpley-reds. I felt this was suitably atmospheric. Then to emphasis the focal point of the picture I put a green shade on the palanquin, and also centred the light source here, consequently becoming the lightest part of the picture.

Further details of the book can be found here:

Shockingly good Ralph! I'm still amazed at the details that you put on every single inch of the canvas.
Hal's asked me to work on this book and with my newfound confidence hopefully I'll do something decent at last... better late than never ;)
Man, you're crazy. You eat super-cereal or something in the morning? The details. The details are everywhere.

You've managed to capture the essence of the decadent yet zealous Sigmarite faith. They really look like they've been marching for a loooong time.

The color palette gives it a nice sickly sweet feeling with the sour rotten green in the center hogging all the attention.

Love the lighting and choice of pallate. This piece has a genuinely creepy mood to it. I think it's the zoned out zombie look in the peoples eyes.

Excellent! Do you get to hang these on your walls when they´re done or foes GW keep them for copyright reasons?

I really like the fact that you explain how and why you chose a certain focus in the image. Such insights in an artists mind are valuable :).
Also, you put in a lot of detail, without overdoing it (without making the eye not know where to go. Great work!
