Black Crusade: Tome of Decay

As some of you may already know, I've been doing some artwork for Fantasy Flight Games over the past 1 1/2 years. Although Tome of Decay wasn't the first title I worked on, it was the first to be released.
So here are a few pieces I had the pleasure of creating in honour of my favourite Chaos god, Grandfather Nurgle.

    Amazing stuff again... Do you draw digitally or do you use pens and pencils?

      Thank you, Alexander Man. :)
      I do all my sketching in pencils (as in this case) or inks, then scan it and paint in Photoshop. For a lot of my personal work I go all traditional with watercolours and/or acrylics.

      Thanks heaps, mate! :)
      I was fortunate enough to receive a contributor copy of the Nurgle tome. Now I just have to save a bit more to buy the others.

    Wow! Impressive stuff and the gig is truly well deserved.

    Really dig Jeff Goldblum and the fatso. Very cool characters.
    The larger scene is a bit weaker - the composition is a bit off and theres a certain lack of depth. Scenes are hard - trust me, I´ve got the same problem...

      Thanks for your comment, Jeff... and especially for the honest critique (my favourite kind). :)

      I know what you mean about the scene, and I can see it clearly now that some time has passed.
      I think my plan for the picture was a bit too ambitious, considering the scope of the commission, and it shows.
