Citadel Hall of Fame: Karl Franz on Deathclaw

THE SHORT VERSION

Alan Perry nominates Brian Nelson’s Karl Franz and Deathclaw for bringing a heraldic creature and familiar Blanche image into a majestic physical form. Nelson explains the deliberate difference between the Empire’s puffed, imposing Griffon and the sleek High Elf beast, while retaining echoes of Michael Perry’s earlier rider.
