Metal Fingered Villain Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Well, here is about a little under two hour color in of one of Mr. Nipples old pencil sketches, it started out a lot more epic but eventually got cropped down due to laziness. Still relatively new to this whole digital art thing, this was more of a color study than anything else. First piece I am actually kind of proud of that I've done on the computer despite nipples saying his original drawing sucks. B) Enjoy. As always, comments and crits welcome. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v413/KingKonstad/SpaceMarineFinal.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146908-artwork-die-tau-scum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hally Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Amazing. Yes, the source image was fantastic, but I still can't think of any way to better colour it. The powerfist really is crackling with power :) Great effect there. Using a tablet?

slah Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I always loved that drawing. I really feel that that is how space marines should look if GW had gone for any kind of realism. The look of the space marine really conveys a very strong feeling of "I´m gonna kick your effing arse, and I´m gonna laugh at whatever stunt you´re gonna pull to try and dodge my can of whoop-ass" - just because of the menace and power the added bulk adds to him.

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Ah, dead Tau. I'm pleased. :) Great coloring. I like bulky Marines, they should look like they're wearing a tank. And the just plain merciless, unrelenting, uncaring menace of this one is awesome... I like the glow effects as well.

Hubernator Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 :lol: I think what everyone means is: his head's too small for his body! It's tiny ;) That of he should lay off the junk food :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146908-artwork-die-tau-scum/#findComment-1704291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liltom Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Not so much his head is too small, but his legs are like tree trunks. As are his arms. Other than that, very good.

Shiodome Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 the left leg (marines left, not ours) is all wrong. it's lacking perspective and the hip is displaced in relation to the main body (needs to be brought forwards, downwards, and rotated inwards). above the waist though is looking excellent, glowing fist is looking very good too.

Brother Shrike Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Seconded^ I just think that he is too "round" in multiple ways - slightly too fat, slightly too curvy. I would say that the head should be bigger, the torso longer, and the stomach slightly narrower compared to the chest. Other than that, it is great! I love the powerfist and the exploding xenos head (blue blood - :sick: ). The colors are great as well.

jakehunter52 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 ...and a butt the size of New York, god. I actually like the head size, stays truthful to actual marine dimensions as opposed to what the models suggest. But the coloring is awesome, alot of contrasts. I would say the only thing to improve on is the tau since it doesn't draw your eye like the marine does, just is kinda bland in the face of that power.
