So this was revealed yesterday on the EC Twitch channel!
Its certainly been a while since I did 'advertising-grade' work whose amount of brief changes rivals that of theme parks and events... This series (which you will come to see over the following months as part of a ongoing reveal), took a few months to put together. And for me that is one hell of a long time to be 'attached' on a project, one where I play a larger role of illustrator than designer. In my book that is the equivalent of a personal hell, but one that I look back at with pride when I see how far we came from the original brief or the balancing of "IP lore-hound" requirements which I think I needn't have to explain...
In no small way this was thanks to the support and prowess of art director Ghislain Barbe, who pretty much guided me and afforded a wide enough creative berth through it all, at times more of a collaborator than an art director (in the conventional sense). I'll say that I have never been more certain of not wanting his job , and that he has my deepest respect given the creative challenges we had to go through.
The main point I am trying to make, as a kind of "outsider" contractor to this production, is that to all the 40K fans out there, know that you have a team there that is truly committed to delivering what you have loved and will continue to love for a long time to come.
See you on the battlefields Ave Dominus Nox!
PS: It was really weird to paint a character I was led to hate thanks to Aaron Dembski Bowden's Night Lords Trilogy...
