EMPEROR'S TAROT - The Renegade

Description

THE RENEGADE

Lack of clarity — Tension — Doubt — Fantasy

Deception — Psychological conflict — Obscured vision

Confusion — Illusion — Fear — Imagination — Worry


Anxiety — Apprehension — Unrealistic ideas

The Renegade card can be interpreted with the feeling of uncertainty, where the past still haunts, unsure of a journey but still going ahead with it and feeling watched.

For this card I used the quintessential renegade Chaos Space Marine of the Black Legion, Abaddon's army and before that, Horus' own warriors. This had to be the exact opposite of The Sapce Marine I previously illustrated, so I used all the classic elements of the traitor legions including the daemonic symbols, scarred countenance and pure evil stare. I also like adding certain small details like rust on the cabling of the power armour and a subtly altered Mark, reminiscent of the old Heresy-Era patterns. The daemons in the background as well as the glint in the eyes of this champion all speak volumes of his hatred and determination in exterminating the Imperium of Man and its False Emperor.

I've rendered a few Black Legionnaires before, but each time is a new treat! I love these guys and the freedom they allow when getting to their small details and design.

Hope you enjoy it!
