Description I finally got the NDA lifted on this card I did for the new Warhammer: Invasion card game from Fantasy Flight Games for Games Workshop . Finished this back in April, actually.

You can check out the press release with my card featured here , and you can check out the final card here . Unfortunately the cards are going to print with my name misspelled, but hey, that means they might be worth more, right? Haha.

Also, keep in mind, cards like this are meant to be viewed at a much smaller size than presented here, and are usually contracted on short deadlines. Anyway, hope you like it, and maybe I'll get to upload the other one I did soon too.

Amazing piece.

Lighting and the Greatswordman fighting the Orc are fantastic.

I gotta admit, I was surprised seeing you post up something Warhammer related. But, then again, I m surprised by how great your artwork is so...

anyways, hope you can create more Warhammer Fantasy or 40k art.

you say they spelled your name wrong, but maybe you are just stealing from reid southern.
hm?
hmmm?
way to exploit the system.

the picture is rather boss. i did wonder at least once when i was younger why the art was often so different between cards, not realising well enough at the time that there were different artists making them. the primary greatsword does seem a bit tense, but overall the picture is more than appropriately drawn for print on a game card.

Does this have any connection to Warcraft?

if u read the artist comment u will see it is for Warhammer a online game like World of Warcraft.

I thought it was for a card game?

Warhammer: Invasion card game

Perhaps you too should read the description. Now, back to `Rahll , I figured the company has no affiliation with Warcraft, but this definitely has like an Oreo/Hydrox feel to it. Am I off?

it does have that look, but theres atleast 4 other games i have seen with green orcs. the first warcraft game set the example for orcs, so a lot use them. kerembeyit has been doing some book covers and i think some games that use the exact same style of orcs, one of the orcs looks like Thrall.

I think its pretty common for the two to be compared, but the warhammer universe is a good 10 years older than the warcraft one.

Not that I'm a massive geek or anything

*points* GEEK!

That's an interesting fact. I did not know this pre-dated that. So it must have been established in the 80's. Wow, that's a long time.

It's unfortunate that on the cards it's viewed so small as you lose a lot of the quality. This is much better in the full view you give us.

Man, that's really good work. I mean holy crap.
Reminds me of some of the illustrations in the
Warcraft II manual.
