30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY ILLO!! The Patriarch is Back!!

To celebrate the shared 30th anniversary of Warhammer 40, 000 and Tony Hough Illustration I've done a painted version of my most iconic and well-known 40K illo, The Genestealer Patriarch on his throne.

 

This digital painting was created using Photoshop CS6 mostly using a Microsoft Surface Pro4 tablet, which is a delight to paint on!!

(Sorry to disappoint, but due to IP considerations, no prints will be available.....this is just for nostalgic fun!!)

Another Vintage 40K Illo Dug Out And Scanned

At 34cm X 25cm this is one of the larger pieces I completed for GW in the late 80s, (too big to scan in one go!)
Set at the time of the Horus Heresy....I don't remember the backstory but there are some odd characters mixed in with the loyalist marines: An Imperial Guard commisar and an odd scientist guy. You tell me what's going on!! I'll add this to the illos for sale and if I can still make it I'll bring it to Oldhammer Day at the end of August.

Warhammer 40K Anniversary Celebration Paintover

As I mentioned in my previous post, as a celebration of the 25th birthday of the Warhammer 40,000 game universe I have been creating a full colour paintover of one of my 5 original drawings which appeared in the first 40K rulebook back in 87 - not in an attempt to update this image to fit the present-day canon of that universe, but to re-present the original image in a new way. I had a lot of fun with it, so I hope you all like it!! The original appears below for comparison. (Click the images to see in their entirety)
