Vaults of Winter: Cover Art




Playing a little catch up here with some fantastic artwork by Slawomir Maniak. It is the cover art for The Vaults of Winter from the Black Library. The Vaults of Winter will be the first of three books about Orion, King of the Woods.

Some people look into courses in design from accredited online colleges when they want to learn the skills to design games and art like this.

“Orion has to be one of the strangest, most inhuman characters in the Old World, but Slawomir Maniak has done a great job of capturing him in all his bestial glory. He’s also managed to convey the powerful link between Orion and his forest realm. I’m particularly fond of the sinister little spite, scampering around in the background. He’s creepy.”
