Matt Cavotta (Senior Creative Art Director for Magic: The Gathering) parle de cette pièce:
Ha! It tickles me that the Guild of laws chose art depicting a card-carrying member of the Guild of lawlessness. Irony aside, the Bloodscale does show Kev's precision, control, and ability to make exactly the right marks every time. The awesome thing about this illustration is how organic and alive the pose is while the technique is so precise and hard-lined. It is no wonder why Kev is a favorite of art snobs and gamer goobs alike.

About Kev Walker
Kevin "Kev" Walker is a British comics artist and illustrator, based in Leeds, who worked mainly on 2000 AD and Warhammer comics and the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering. He is now working for Marvel Comics.
Originally known for his glossy, painted style and the fine detail of his inked work, Walker has since 1998 changed the way he works, using a high contrast black line style with heavy shadows coupled with flat computer colouring, reminiscent of the work of Mike Mignola.
From 2002 onwards, despite a couple of Judge Dredd stories, he has largely worked on American comic books starting with The Legion at DC Comics, written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (DnA), before moving over to Marvel Comics. In April 2006, he worked on Marvel's cosmic crossover event, "Annihilation" with DnA plotting Nova, one of its four lead-ins.
In 2005, Walker was commissioned by design agency ODD to draw the character of a 13-year-old James Bond for Charlie Higson's first Young Bond novel SilverFin. He also illustrated a graphic novel adaptation of SilverFin in 2008, and provided cover art for the Young Bond novels released in the U.S. by Hyperion Books.
Walker then provided the third installment of the Marvel Zombies series, with writer Fred Van Lente and the creative team stayed together for Marvel Zombies 4. He then teamed up with DnA again to draw the Realm of Kings: Imperial
