Description
Hi Everyone,
First of all, Best wishes for 2020.
I wanted to kick of the year with one of the two covers I have painted for an upcoming game called Dark Ages; a massive historical civilization-building game where I had the privilege to create the interior art and design the miniatures as well.
This is (by far) the biggest and one of the most exciting assignments I have received. Both because the great amount of responsibilities I got and the subject matter, which pretty much aligns with what I like to paint for myself.
This is the cover for the Western Europe box: ''Heritage of Charlemagme''
I would like to thank Kuba Polkowski and the Board and Dice team for choosing for the job.
Thanks to Leon ten Have for being a model for the piece.
Please give me your thoughts below, and stay tuned for the Mid-Europe cover next week !
Best,
JCH

This is anΒ amazing painting.
The details in this are so beautifully done.
Great textures, shading and highlights on all the elements.
Wonderful work with the brush strokes.
Composition I feel isΒ very balanced and has unity pulling all the elements together as a whole.
I think the diagonal line of the figure lying down is a very good directional eye lead into the painting and helps keep the viewers eye within the painted surface of the image.
Excellent choices for your color pallet.
Thank you so much for submitting this fantastic painting to the group's gallery for all the members to enjoy.
