Imagists and Illuminators

THE SHORT VERSION

The studio art team describes a shared visual vocabulary built from miniatures, writing and decades of earlier illustrations. Individual artists retain their styles while developing environments and interactions beyond what static models can show, from the Fortress of Hera to newly imagined Mortal Realms.

The discussion considers briefs, silhouettes, tiny spot illustrations, maps and the intimidating freedom of starting Age of Sigmar. Scale and fleeting action allow artwork to supplement miniature photography, while Dave Gallagher’s retrospective describes changing media and techniques across thirty years of illustrating the same evolving worlds.
