Artist's Comments

*whew*

I never thought I'd actually get the chance to ever illustrate this character, out of all the great background stories and protagonists that the universe of Warhammer 40,000 has to offer.
When I was asked to draw The Emperor, I was, of course, very daunted and at the same time very excited; The Emperor is one of those characters that every illustrator wants to draw, and if you don't get it right, it can be disastrous. Luckily, I was able to come up with a rendition I'm most proud of, based on the most recognised look of the Emperor by Adrian Smith, but also adding much of my own 'flavour' and style to the mix. Overall, I'm truly happy and (as I said) proud of how the image came out, and how I'm managing to get better and better with colour. There's still a long way to go, but I'm getting the hang of it...

I hope you enjoy it!

It is supposed to! You can't be an Emperor if your armour isn't shiny enough :D...

Sensational. How you managed to get such a great shiny gold effect like that with markers is beyond me. Well done!
