Description

Beneath the dark earth, two ancient foes come face to face. Is it a chance encounter, or the beginning of another bitter war?

Something that I sketched out over the holidays, and liked enough to add some (admittedly quick) colors to. I'm pretty familiar with drawing Dwarfs to the standard of Warhammer Fantasy by now (helped by the large number of models sitting nearby, when I need a reference) but I don't think I've done much work on Skaven before. As I often do, I pulled out one of my old art books and looked through it for examples, but I kept the design much simpler than most of the examples, since I was trying to keep this relatively simple. I'm not sure how well the pose worked, since it was done without any actual planning - it was just a matter of finding a position for both characters that fit the space available. Still, I enjoyed working on this one.
