"FOR THE EMPEROR" - FAN-COMIC RELEASE!
Whew! At long last, I'm stupendously proud to announce that my Warhammer 40k fan comic, "For the Emperor," is complete! Follow the third legion, the Emperor's Children, from their frightening origins to their fearsome fate!
You can check out the entire piece, uncut and uncensored, in excessively lavish detail on my Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/rylanwoodrow)! If you can, subscribe to the page to support production of great pieces like this, and to get access to make your voice heard for my monthly posts in the future, including character portraits, creature designs, and more!

As anyone who's followed me for a while or scrolled through my galleries knows, the Emperor's Children are my favorite faction in 40k! However, 40k lore can be dense and self-referential to the point of inaccessible, and the portrayal of these champions of Slaanesh have gone through many revisions and reimaginings over the years. I designed this piece as an handy introduction to their themes and in-world history for the uninitiated, boiling the legion's arc down to its essential themes and painting it in broad, operatic strokes!
I may also post up some behind-the-scene pictures from this project as patron exclusives (such as art-panels before colorization and/or lettering); I did my best to avoid cutting off major details in the layout process, but I'm definitely a "more-is-more" artists, so there are some bits I felt sad about having to obscure in telling the story in the final piece!
