Temple of the Serpent

This is my latest novel cover for Games Workshop, and the second in the ongoing series about Thanquol (the Skaven Grey Seer).

I do like working with  a low viewpoint and tilted horizon plane, and this is no exception, but I also really concentrated on dropping the background back to let Thanquol's silhouette read nice and clearly.

I also threw in  a few extra details, which happily the editor, Darius Hinks, picked up on in his blog post:

which also shows the cover with it's full trade dress.
