This piece
was a WIP for years before UK's Future
Publishing comissioned it as a tutorial piece for their new magazine,
Imagine
FX (the same issue also contains an interview with me). However,
this version is an updated version
and different from the one published in Imagine FX. This painting depicts
a family of three (mom, dad, and baby) being hunted by demon stalkers. The
parents protect the baby with their lives while the demon stalkers conjure
dark magic using the skull of a fallen comrade as the source of power. The
father counters the assault with his own magic, channeled through his sword.
