Mr. Nipples Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Continuing with my obsession of LOTD, I bring you this. WIP in between all this work im doing as a way to break things up I started this. Bout 1 hour so far. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/JasonHeuser/LOTD_Marine_OCT_2008copy.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/JasonHeuser/LOTD_Marine_OCT_2008HEDcopy.jpg C@C Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149830-artwork-plasma-gunner/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Fetus Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I saw your other LOTD marine on DeviantArt and it is amazing Mr. Nipples. I would love to see that converted into a 28mm mini. ;) I can't wait to see this piece finished. Keep up the amazing work whether it is conversions, sculpting, or drawing!

Sword Brother Jeramakus Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Why is the Aquila inverted? LotD aren't traitors. Regardless, it looks good.

Wicked Fetus Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Why is the Aquila inverted? LotD aren't traitors. Regardless, it looks good. It could possibly be a reference to how the "christian cross" is sometimes flipped upside down to represent evil. Whilst the LotD are not "traitors", they are "damned" and the flipped Aquila goes well to reinforce this theme. Edit: The reversed cross to many represents opposition to christain dogma. Perhaps the reversed Aquila may represent the LotD's opposition to the Imperium's religious dogma or doctrine. Rather choosing to adhire to what the Emperor originally wanted mankind to believe in - truth and science, instead of worshipping him as a god.

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Awesome. Maybe the upside-down Aquila is a penitence mark? God, always space marines, boring. Yeah, I know, on a Space Marine centric board too. How droll. Who'd have thought?

Draakur Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Your LoTD stuff is extremely nice, I dig. You get a great atmosphere going with your style, and it seems really well suited to these guys. And the inverted aquilla is great. I've already seen Kurgan take down some of your non-PA pics though, why continue? It's nice stuff, but it doesn't belong here man. Blatantly disobeying forum rules to plug your stuff = kinda lame. +edit+ Looks like Angelus Sanctus got to it...

Dark Sensei Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Dat's another example of you mastery in the illustration of dark atmospheres. I like this one very much and I expect much from the work on Plasma puker. Inverted Aquila... Hmmm not fan at all. Firstly, LOTD are not rebels ("loyals into death" would be closer to truth) and though they would be, I imagine they'd display their allegeances a brighter (or darker) way than this "Empire = Bad" adolescent way (and its even more painfull that your Aquila is masterly realised). Oh, a last thing, "Marines have dentals !" (this argument proved essentiel when Roboute tried to convince Leman to stick to his new Codex Astarte. Puppies take all these matters very seriously)... Hmmm forget bout this :), bone-work is a MUST ! DS Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149830-artwork-plasma-gunner/#findComment-1741054 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather choosing to adhire to what the Emperor originally wanted mankind to believe in - truth and science, instead of worshipping him as a god. The idea that the inverted passion cross is somehow involved with satanism or evil is a thoroughly modern one. the "inverted" cross is the cross of Saint Peter, as he was crucified head-down. further, i haven't read anything that would indicate LotD has any issue with the Imperium- just that they were horribly mutated and seek to continue their service to the Emperor. perhaps we could get Mr. Nipples reason for the inverted aquila?

Mr. Nipples Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Dark Sensei- Thanks sir for the compliments, the Plasma gun will be angry and glowing when I am done. As for dentals what do you mean? there will be bone on his armor if that's what you mean. Draakur-Wasnt really intentionally breaking forum rules, just trying to show I do different stuff other then PA artwork. sorry for being lame MODS- We should have an open forum on here somewhere where people can post all types of art er whatever. I see People on these boards that dont have much experience drawing that come here for help with drawing space marines when they really need to be working on anatomy and other parts before jumping into something advanced like drawing marines. Just my two pennies and in this economy thats not worth much. SHinyRhino- Plasma will be red, this whole piece is going to have a very grungy feel to it, the marine is going to essentially be in a dust storm of some kind. Good time to practice dusty and lighting. The Inverted Aquila-This seems like its one of those things like Fergie, either you love her or hate her. Same with Aquila. I really like the idea of it, it shows the marines fall from grace but still in there attempt to fight for the emperor they wear it on their armor. I know some people are gonna use the "Hey they are spose to strip all imperial iconography from their armor."...mmm well when my DG army is done its going to be a TrueScale LOTD army and this is how Im gonna field them and Ive also seen numerous GW artwork where the marines still have the imperial eagle. EG:http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/2/2d/LegionoftheDamned.jpg I may do some more on it this evening ill update it if I can good sirs, thanks for all the input.

Wicked Fetus Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 further, i haven't read anything that would indicate LotD has any issue with the Imperium- just that they were horribly mutated and seek to continue their service to the Emperor. Which is exactly why I chose to use the word "perhaps".
