Description Konrad Curze, The Night Haunter son of the Emperor of Mankind.

----------------------------
Final update:

Most of the work was done to the background and armor, painting the blood pool along with the rocks. the armor received a lot of touches here and there, fixing the colors and adding textures.
I added the black halo as a final touch, i like halos on unholy beings (or maybe holy in this case, we would never know)

I enjoyed painting this piece
Hope you like it, c&c are more than welcome.

Konrad Curze is like a cross between Vlad von Carstein from Fantasy, Rorschach from Watchmen, and Paul Muad'dib from Dune. Oh and by the way, the revived Guilliman's Imperium-wide anti-corruption drive will probably make Curze proud of his brother if he is still alive to witness it, even though he would feel the corrupt imperial officials weren't punished harshly enough.

Angron and Curze were both heavily traumatized. 

But the Red Angel had a way to soothe his pain - at least, for a short time, covering everyting with blood and leaving only death behind. Konrad couldn't do the same, even by bringing pain to others. His mind was sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness, and even if there was a way to save him from total madness, the only person who could do that...well...did not care, I'd say (that's why I do not like Emperor, yes - he has totally failed as a father and as a leader ). 

This portrait is insanely cool. Pain in his sight, darkness around tired eyes and unhealthy paleness... That's the way The Night Haunter should look.

Thanks a lot for the comment, I agree with you that is why I hate the Emperor, at least one of the reasons >_<

Amaziiiing artwork! The Night Haunter doesn't need a helm to be scary. Moreover...this pale vampiric skin is a good idea. It highlights the man's style

Yeah, a lot of Primarchs have odd backgrounds behind their names. For example Lion El' Johnson os named after a poet who wrote the poem "Dark Angel"
