This character art was created for CMON's board game Zombicide 2. “A riot police officer turns monstrous, his uniform bursting as flesh grows over and beneath, mutating him into a terrifying new form,” Édouard says. The colours are by Éric Nouhaut.

“While keeping the classic Reaper look, I wanted to add something new and threatening with tentacles, all while preserving the iconic floating silhouette. Colours by Giorgia Lanza.”

“I wanted this to feel like more than just flame; it’s an ancient entity inhabiting empty armour, a living artefact of forgotten power. Colours by Giorgia Lanza.”

“I loved creating a dynamic composition of multiple characters, framed by buildings and surrounded by zombies. This conveys real danger and a massive invasion, while keeping the scene readable. Colours by Giorgia Lanza.”

The Four Horsemen

“I loved reinterpreting these mythic riders – War, Death, Pestilence and Famine – while staying true to the original descriptions. A timeless classic and a real exercise in style. Colours by Giorgia Lanza.”
