Description Izael, Daemon Prince and all-round nasty (as well he would be given he manages to string Blackjack up on meathooks in 'Descent'). He was the faithful servant of one of the dark gods... until he got ideas above his station and was subsequently cast out to fend for himself in the underworlds. Turns out he did rather well for himself as he now has his own realm, lots of dead souls to torment and a veritable army of sheekra daemon chums to do his bidding. Dark elves in particular like to call on his aid in return for sacrifices (ideally young virgins - he's a bit unimaginative and old school like that) and stuff.
This is his true minus the writhing shadows he's usually wreathed in. He can change his appearance at will though usually favours either this look or that of a beguiling humanoid (I use the 'oid' because it's usually obvious he isn't human).

Once again shaded with watercolours before colouring on PC.

Disturbing and amazing artwork simultaneously! Evocative and with care given to details and colourwork. Those spindly wing hands are freskish, and the golden rings pierced through the tail tip is a good touch. Given your deft hand at illustrating Chaos, you might be interested in knowing that Warhammer Fantasy have a community driven spiritual successor project under steam. Namely, The Ninth Age: www.the-ninth-age.com/

It is fully possible for previous Warhammer fanart to be submitted to T9A, and if their iconography doesn't constitute IP infringement they may well make it into full army books, full credits given. Obviously, such an ambitious project is always welcoming artists, for artwork is what makes or breaks a professional polished product. This is a chance to have one's fanart under an official stamp, and moreover to develop one's own styles for familiar archetypes.

Note that one has to post two comments on the forum before being allowed to upload images to the gallery (just post compliments in the army blog section or suchlike first  if you would ever like to contribute).

Also, they've recently launched their first Art Contest, this time pitting Warriors of the Dark Gods against others: www.the-ninth-age.com/index.ph… Many more contests to follow in months and years to come if this catch on. Something for your talents and tastes, perhaps?

Just mentioning. In any case, great artwork! Have a good day.

Looks wicked. Though what exactly are the subordinates of this guy capable of?
Also what kind of abilities does this Daemon Prince of yours possess?

Hmm...seems a bit like a Tzeentch (hope I dind't misspell that god's name) follower in appearance but for all that it matters he could have been a subordinate of Slaneesh...

Do those symbols have a magical significance or are they just for attracting slightly more gullible young virgins?

Love him, by the way.

This is badass. x3 I love the design and all the detail of the glowing blue...script/designs. xD I really like the horns and the extra set of arms, and how you pulled off the gleam on the jewelry. Certainly wouldn't wanna run into this guy while adventuring, hehe.

drakhenliche In reply to SerpentRose [2010-04-16 12:33:26 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm still rather proud of how this one worked out. He was great fun to draw too. The dodge tool in Photoshop is great for adding shiney bits to metal (but very easily overdone).

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd want to meet Izael whilst adventuring or doing anything else!

*Cackles!* That'd be a good use of them! And him having an eye in his belly just makes me giggle, so very much. I actually had to write a vicious demon lord-type dude when you posted him up. XD Easily the most fun I've had with an archfiend.
