Description

Well, after a (somewhat) long abscense from DA, I bring you ter another image from the Dark Millenium of Warhammer 40,000.
When I was first asked to illustrate The Emperor ([link]) I remember that I was (as I said in my comments) quite daunted by the project, because he is such an iconic character that you either do a good job, or utterly fail. Fortunately, I managed to do the former.
Now I was asked to render the Emperor's most loyal and powerful son, and also the cause of the greatest grief that ever shook the foundations of the Imperium of Man: Horus.
Yet another very powerful and tricky (to say the least!) character, that took me a while to finish; but I think the end result is as 'big' and worthy of pride as was the Emperor.

I hope you will like it as much as you did my previous piece of the saviour of mankind.

Until soon.

Nic.-

"I never wanted this. I never wanted to unleash my legions. Together, we banished the ignorance of Old Night. But you betrayed me, you betrayed us all. You stole power from the Gods and lied to your sons. Mankind has only one chance to prosper, if you will not seize it, then I WILL. So let it be war, from the skies of Terra to the Galactic Rim. Let the seas boil, let the stars fall. Though it takes the last drop of my blood, I will see the galaxy freed once more. And if I cannot save it from your failure, Father, then let the galaxy BURN!"
