commissioned by Magnus V.
A pale-skinned chaos warrior in heavy black-and-gold ornate armor, sitting on a throne with a curved alien blade across his knee. Two side-arms strapped to his thighs with red sashes, and a wolf-head trophy on his right shoulder wearing a small grin that the client requested by name. The pose had to read as composure first and threat second, the kind of stillness that means the fight already ended somewhere offscreen.
Magnus had been writing this character for years in a warhammer-style grimdark sci-fi homebrew and the brief came in with footnoted lore for the wolf head alone. The trophy belonged to a ginger beast named Gwyn the Pale, and the daemon nested inside it spent its afterlife playing two truths and a lie with anyone close enough to hear. We rendered the grin small. Just enough for the second viewing to catch it.
