Another one bites the dust...



Bomp bomp bomp. Bunna na na na nah.

Here are two photographs of the last drawing I have completed. There is one more large one to go.

This piece uses imagery from two Skaven releases, as well as Bosch and Japanese symbols. There are a few things I completely made up. There are connections between the music of Skaven and the first instance of the black plague in Western/Northern Europe. As well, the Japanese and traditional Chicano flower motifs work well with the plague theme, as they were believed, erroneously, to ward off the plague. This was well before the germ "theory" of disease became widely accepted. And the pieces of the Malleus Maleficarum and Bruegel's Triumph of Death directly addressed the plague as it happened.

The next piece is about Siege.
