Shadow Warrior

Another of the commissions for Cornelius van Richten ( [link] )

It’s not often that I get to include a nightmare in commission art, so this was a nice treat. The nightmare monster design & Meian in his shadow form design were inspired by concept sketches submitted by Cornelius. The interior is in a house located inside the Calypsa district near the edge of the Starfall Mountains. As horrifying as the creature looks, I’m putting my money on the halo-laden shadow enshrined guy with the violet blade coming through the wall. Small wonder that the monster has that roach-surprised-by-the-kitchen-light pose going on. Looks like he’s a bit too big to hide underneath the cupboard and wait for things to blow over, though.
