Reaper from the Abyss


This is the second piece revealed from the upcoming Innistrad set for Magic:The Gathering. I'm not really the go to guy for big bad ass demons, so I was pleased to get asked to do this one. I have to say I rather enjoyed painting all the scars on his torso and arms. It's oils on paper mounted to board, 12" x 18".

    This card looks awesome, man! And the repro looks damn close, too. Powerful silhouette, I really dig it.
