Hello everyone! This is my last artwork for 2015 It' s been a great year for me and im sad to let it go but , let' s hope 2016 will be twice as good for everyone

This artwork was commissioned by a friend for his upcoming DeathWatch/Dark Crusade roleplay. I had tons of fun working on this illustration for several reasons. First and foremost , it' s an artistic dedication to Chaos , my favorite faction in Warhammer and beyond. Also, it was great to work on a Slaaneshi character who is not a Noize Marine or a swordsman. I feel like there are several dominant archetypes when it comes to warhammer art , that i like to break , always within the limits of the lore. For example , most Thousand Son artworks portray sorcerers , Emperor' s Children are usually portrayed as Noize Marines etc. While these are all correct and ofcourse the most usual career choices for the characters , i still like to explore other , more exotic themes aswell. So , with that in mind , i was very happy to create a sorcerer of the Emperor' s Children. I wanted to combine the known and loved elements of any worshiper of Slaanesh with those of more " traditional" sorcerers , without going too close to Tzeentch. I hope i managed that and the character is both unique as an individual but also fully recognizable as a part of a whole that is the followers of Slaanesh. Now here are some easter eggs i put in there: The Sorcerer has grafted a Harlequin mask into his wrist-plate. There is also the facial skin of a Tau covering his shoulder plate. The sorcerer did not acquire any of these objects nicely. I added those two bcause the Eldar and the Tau are the favorite xeno races of the friend who ordered this. Also you may notice a golden cube on the table. This is a reference to... You figure it out
