'Once, there were these stories that told the children to beware of the white ravens. They said, when they come the world will change. Now they are here and decay follows in their wake.'
First time I saw this sculpt by Games Workshop I knew what I wanted to do and did it.
Hope you like it.
Keep on happy painting!

Sooooo geilRoman LappatPLUS
Thank you, Christoph!Marius "Der Stone "Stein
Wow it's so different than I expected. Really lovely colour choice. The leaves or guts(?) make it looked like a autumn\decay the theme. The transition from green to red are subtile. In the last picture is the white balance wrong? Because everything looks so red. Or do my eyes betray me? Really nice piece! Thanks Roman for sharing it!Roman LappatPLUS
Thank you Marius. Glad you like it and that it transports the vibe I was trying to catch. Yes, you are right with the last picture. Just saw that too. It was just a quick photo with the mobile and I did not check back with color authenticity. Thank you! Changed it.Roman LappatPLUS
At least I tried. The big camera shows the colors and the level of colorful detail much better in the photobooth. Sorry that the last photo is confusing.eric wolfsPLUS

Thank you, Felix!David Powell
Amazing! I've loved all the framed shadowbox pieces you've done, but this is my favorite of the bunch. I feel like this is an illustration that popped out of a book. Makes me feel like I'm getting just a peak into a bigger story and I want to keep reading! :)Roman LappatPLUS
Thank you so much for your time to write these kind words. Really happy you like this creation of mine. Arigato!TimPLUS
As David has said I love all your shadow boxes but this one is really magnificent. The pastel palatte really highlights the grotesqueness of the scene.Roman LappatPLUS

gold great work buddyRoman LappatPLUS
Thank you, Martin!Nate CooperPLUS
I love this piece Roman. One of my favorites of you box dioramas. The composition is great, as always. But the palette is so unusual and evocative for me. It’s soft, and beautiful, and almost gentle in a way when looked at from afar. Across a room you may think it is a scene of flowers and such. As you got close are realized how disturbing the scene is, and how it is really about extraordinary decay, it’s super powerful. Yet somehow you managed to make it feel both delicate and repulsive at the same time. Every detail on the horse is pleasant, for example, and the longer I stare gets progressively dark and gross :). It’s a perfect banana e you found to creat beautiful art that is also quite ominous. Love itNate CooperPLUS
It’s a perfect ‘balance’ not banana lol. A banana would be something entirely different ;-)Jared Clifford "jc_painting101"PLUS

A very unusual and quite powerful work of art. There is some kind of meta-irony...Luis UgartePLUS
Spectacular work! Congratulations!Peter (Chilwd)
wow..love these portret scenes you are doing Roman, think this one is my favorite so far, truly masterful!Sergey PopovichenkoPLUS
Exceptional work in all respects! Grandiose!!!Ocarina
This is one of my favorites. Why? I don't know. It's so different I think. The Horse, the Nurglings, its so bittersweet. :Dtrax_the_trickyPLUS
It's really cool but I think the thing that stuns me most is the 3-dimensionality of the falling petals...
