Colrouphobic Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Here is something I managed to scrounge up when I had three-four hours sparetime... It's a Sar, Captain, of my personal project/chapter Angels Cruentis. http://www.freewebs.com/studiocolrouphobia/Sar%20Azazel.jpg Chapter Organisation: (briefly now)- Chapter is organised into eight Hosts, a format that can be equalled with the Great Companies of the Space Wolf Chapter. Each Host has its own ruling body -led by a Sar(Librarian/Captain)-, its own veterans and other specialists.The Sarim of the Hosts form a counsil that rule the Chapter as a whole. (Sarim is the collective name of the Sar's of the entire Chapter, hence the Sarim are always only eight members) (snip) *Small Chapter- The Chapter has not recruited for over 300 years, leaving each Host smaller then a full company. The Average Host has 70-75 Marines of any kind in their ranks, some have slightly more, some have slightly less. One Host, "the Host of Azazel", only have 23 Marines in its ranks. Sar Azazel is very uneasy about this, but still pushes his brethren top fight on as if they where a full Host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 This is a very dark piece of artwork but I really like it. The Sar looks as if he's very brutal and unrelenting in battle, you've captured the mood very well with the addition of the daemon head. Azazel's face looks quite murky and sinister. Congratulations on creating an awesome piece of art. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luy22 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Looks epic. What's with Azazel's face? Is that a clown nose? :down: :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on creating an awesome piece of art. ;) Thank you, I try my best... this is really a speedwork though. Either Im going to maintain this style for al Angels Cruentis artwork or Im going to go for more finalized artwork, havent decided just yet... Looks epic. What's with Azazel's face? Is that a clown nose? :blink: :mellow: Nah, just his hair flowing in front of it... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Master Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I think he means the picture in the bottom left. It looks like a clown nose and his tongue is sticking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 That's most likely Colrouphobic's personal imprint on his pieces, I don't believe it's a close-up of Azazel's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colrouphobic Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 That is true, that's the "insignia", if you will, that I put on everything I do nowadays, personal and commissioned for companies... Havent put one on any art for a while now though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maratheus Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I really like the armour design. Only thing that really bothers me about this piece is that the red cloth could have had a bit more attention and the torso and chainsword could have a bit brighter lighting as there's something underlighting that daemon head. bah, I hope you get what I mean, it is still a characterful piece.

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Nice work Colrouphobic! That daemon head is iffy in a good way. And the clownish nose there just gives me the creeps. – Well done! Haven't seen anything from you in a while, so Im hoping for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allerka Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hey, Col! Great piece, as always! Really like the dark and gritty look, the red tabard makes for a great contrast with the armor. I wouldn't want to get in the way of that chainsword, either. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colrouphobic Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thanks Allerka. Here is the next one. Malakim: Brother Irimel. (malakim is roughly the same as 1st company, or "veteran".

Colrouphobic Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Here is an image of an imperial guardsman. I know, this is a forum for powerarmour, but the guardsman is part of a company that accompany Inquisitor Damien, hence the link to an Inquisitor. Here is what I wrote on Illuminatus (Killteam weekly Sketch Group) http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/548446/Damiens%20retinueconcept.jpg http://z4.invisionfree.com/illuminatus/ind...c=773&st=15 "The personal Guardsmen Company of Inquisitor Damien has been lost in the Warp for just as long as Damien himself. In terms of how long they feel they have been lost, no-one knows, but some 1000 years have past since they last fought in the materium. The Company was originally some 200 men strong, but is now little less then 30. The hardy men originate from a system close to the arcadia gate, but rather then being dispatched as Cadias, they where hand-picked by the Inquisition for different Inquisitors that needed impecable minds and strong bodies. They utilise a weapon specifically developed fro clse-to-mid-range fighting in the Warp- the Melta-lance. The equipment is heavy to carry, and on top of fielding a charge for their weapon on their back, they also have oxygene-tanks in their backpack for being able to fight in "unhealthy" enviroments."

the thousandth whisper Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Your Marines are SAWEET! I love the proportions and the grim feel of them, the guardsman looks like he's sort of oriental. but why are his eyes glowing? I like the Melta Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperialis_Dominatus Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hey Colrouphobic, nice seeing you around here. I like your Space Marines (as all your other art). In addition to being well drawn and proportioned and colored, you've captured something of the mystique of the Astartes. I dunno how to convey what I mean by that but... take the first... he's so brutal looking, yet noble (maybe even arrogant). I like it. The Guardsman is sweet too, nice to see some original regimental action. I'll have to check out the IA that inspired this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Melta Lance Hey there, thanks :) His eyes are glowing because I just didn't have the time to complete him in time for the end of the KWSG- but lets be inventive and say that.... they dont have any pigment in their irises? Thus they have all white eyes... Hey Colrouphobic, nice seeing you around here. I like your Space Marines (as all your other art).

Thank you, yes well, I only paint as good as I can, it is nice that you see them as capturing something essential in the Astartes :) You should go read the IA..I wrote it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firenze Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 OMG! Sweet!! Im a space marine artist too and only really work in pencils and pen. I have a few questions for you... Did you use a graphics program and if so, what? Can you send me a PM about how you have got the shading and texture like that? Nice work! Edit: I found a niggle with it. The hands and arms look a little out of porportion. I think its the style of armour you have on them... Still, well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hands and arms look a little out of porportion. I think its the style of armour you have on them... Still, well done. I used a graphic program, in this case I used Photoshop. I use PainterX, Photoshop Cs3 (or CS4 on my laptop- companybenefits rule), Zbrush, Sketchup, Al-chemy and Fusion5 for my proffessional painting (first two are painting programmes, 3&4 are 3d programmes, 5 is a free program for drawing randomized shapes, do a google for it, and the last is a compositioning and after-effects program), but when I sketch I use Photoshop or pen and paper as I feel most comfortable with those. About the arms, it probably is the armour, there is a certain amount of foreshortening on them also, but in the end, this is a 2hr sketch, not a full illustration. Shading and texture- I have a great texturebrush that I made myself and that I use on metal and stone areas. You should learn how to make custom brushes and play around with it. My brush is a square, with a dualbrush setting (where the second brush is several, different sized, smaller dots in that have a high scatter, and with wet edges set. Other settings/Opacity Jitter set to "0% and Pen Preassure". Play around a little, you will get a hang of it! your art skills are amazing Thank you, I try my best and work as a freelancing illustrator :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
