Black Riders - 14 x 36 in., oil on masonite
Hey everyone! Apologies for the absence, between moving and getting ready for the Spectrum show last weekend things have been completely crazy around here.
Here's my latest piece for Fantasy Flight Games. It's box art for their Lord of the Rings card game, with this expansion focusing on the
Black Riders. This one was quite a challenge in the beginning, oddly enough I haven't been asked to paint a lot of night scenes so I really had to think about how to approach this one, especially when it came to the color. I wound up focusing on the bluish light of the moon as the main source of color and moving out from there. It seemed to heighten the sense of dread and fear that the scene needed.
(As a side note, unlike the first two this one IS for sale so if you're interested shoot me an email)
