PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 499

Overlord Oltyx by John

April 2024·p. 112

THE SHORT VERSION

John draws inspiration from The Twice-dead King and depicts Oltyx after the loss of his royal gold. Cold black armour and increasingly pale grey highlights create a battered, stripped-down figure whose diminished appearance reflects the character’s disgrace. A final grey shade links the layers and avoids making the exposed surfaces look freshly polished.
