ILLUSTRATION

Framed by a wide archway, Elric announces his arrival with Stormbringer thrust overhead leaking purple mist. The chamber is occupied by an eight armed, green-scaled demon perched upon a wooden throne. The demon looks unnaturally top heavy with a great portion of bulk in its upper body. Its head, turned in profile toward Elric, resembles a fish with its maw open and jagged teeth protruding. A nest of quills form its brow set above a large eye reflecting a yellow sheen bulges from its socket with no discernible iris. It sits with clawed feet atop an overturned chest. A string of pearls, gold coins, and gems of various sizes and color bones are scattered on the dais below. A pair of rats sit among spilled treasure and human bones.

URISH'S BANE

A fascinating book that gave me the fun of painting a "no-holds-barred" demon. In many ways I did this one for me--dark--and I'm pleased it has received such a positive response from the readers.
