Unfortunately, I can't read the artist's signature in the bottom right and so have no idea who's responsible for this piece. Can anyone assist me? I am fairly certain the artist in question did other work for Games Workshop, whether in the pages of White Dwarf or elsewhere. (I am also fairly certain that, the moment the name is revealed to me, I'll realize what an idiot I was not to have immediately recognized his style).
Here's a better image with the full name: https://64.media.tumblr.com/c9e395e35232a7edccbfaf51474f4d90/tumblr_pq62nxsyj61ro2bqto1_1280.jpg
ReplyDeleteIt's Emmanuel, who did the original Fiend Folio cover, as well as various WD covers. This is from WD 23.
Thank you!
DeleteAlso the original Fighting Fantasy _Citadel of Chaos_ cover, I believe.
DeleteHe also created the yellow/red Games Workshop logo.
DeleteFascinating! That White Dwarf piece is one of my all-time favourite fantasy illustrations, whereas the Fiend Folio githyanki is one of my all-time _least_ favourites.
DeleteYours to buy on eBay for £15 or £50!
ReplyDeleteMore information, @khusru ?
ReplyDeleteThere are copies of issue 23 available on Ebay uk for £15 and £50.
DeleteThat image was also the cover of the 1981 Games Workshop catalogue. I spent ages flicking through it as a penniless kid.
