STORMBRINGER (1977) Acrylic on Masonite - 30" x 20" I remember trying to get in the mood of painting for the last time the albino sorcerer king, Elric. I took a clothes rail out of a closet for my sword and ran around outside slashing at weeds and lunging at the breeze.
I began to feel quite majestic and imagined myself atop the ruins at the end of the world. When I slipped into the pose that captured the feeling of the whole story, I knew that this sense of "freezing the action" was too important to lose...
@whelanmichael Along the same line as the other comments... seeing this cover then reading the novel, the end of the series.... Chef's Kiss! Couldn't have been more perfect!
@whelanmichael Love this cover and the game it graced. I have another of your Elric covers ("Elric at the end of time" I think it's called), but I wish I had also bought the limited print of this when I had the chance.
@whelanmichael It's an iconic painting, one of the high points of fantasy art.
