At the edge of a shadowy medieval town, a rogue ratfolk skaven lurks in a dark alley, waiting to strike. The ratman, an ear collector, crouches low, his long slender snout twitching, big pointed rat ears alert to every sound. His murky amber eyes gleam with a predatory glint as he waits. Clad in tattered assassin robes, his slim decrepit figure is barely visible in the shadows. Rain pours down, slicking his dark brown and black clothing and forming puddles on the cobblestone street.
The scene is illuminated by dim, flickering lanterns, their light reflecting off his sharpened dagger, casting eerie glints. The rogue gnaws on a piece of dried meat, biting down with his many teeth, while the soft fog swirls around his form. The medieval town is steeped in decay and dark magic, inspired by Sean Aaberg's punk aesthetic, where grim landscapes and vibrant, exaggerated dim-colored art intertwine. Bold ink lines define the ratman's form against the watercolor wash of the aged paper, capturing the unique, immersive vibe of this dark fantasy world.
