kraegus Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 just a small project I started working on. I destroyed my painting hand in sports a while back, and it made me unable to hold a pen or paint for a long time. Since recovery, i've been noodling around a bit. I have no guarantees for finishing, I'll just keep plugging away as long as I can I think. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff297/pchol/DSCN0019.jpg using this head: http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff297/pchol/DSCN0021.jpg (as a side note, I've obviously been out of this for far too long, I don't recognize any names on this board :P ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Kraegus! Friend! Shame about the injury, but glad to see your back! Hopefully your painting skills are still what they used to be! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/#findComment-1879647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 hey, now there's a familiar face. :P dunno, only one way to find out right? http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff297/pchol/DSCN0020.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/#findComment-1879663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 a bit of fiddling with the base, and I've figured out what I want to do with it. the cracked plate will be dull gold, the rest will be concentric ripples, similar to the practise circle. (hey! it's a chaos planet, I can do what I want <_< ) http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff297/pchol/DSCN0024.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/#findComment-1879706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 changed my mind, I decided to do a blended sand tone. the blended bit is the only thing done, and I'll carry that on around the base of the plate. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff297/pchol/DSCN0025.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/#findComment-1880962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graypaint Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I liked the circles more, but that is just personal taste really. You have a very clean style and I'm excited to see more.

kraegus Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 mmm, to be honest, so did I, but the decision was made because I need the base to deliberately NOT draw away the eye. Geometric little bright circles would do that without a doubt. Edit: A bit more of the base is starting to take shape. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff297/pchol/DSCN0026.jpg (can you tell I'm indecisive? I undercoated the base black, then white, then black again, then moved back to a light colour. Figure out what you want to paint BEFORE you start painting, kids. ;) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/#findComment-1881013 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Kraegus! sorry to hear about your hand, Circles were cool but either way its taking shape and looking great!! btw is that a big badass looking AotL logo i see?!? i would love a copy of it! ;) Keep on 'Noodling' :unsure: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/#findComment-1881132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 haha yea it is, version number 3. the one you saw above was version 2. and version one can be seen in the corner of that photo. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff297/pchol/DSCN0029.jpg in case you were wondering, it's a mockup, I'm still trying to figure out how the banner is going to look, and I knew I had to stick this in there, so I figured I should draw it out before I break out the paintbrush.

Sandalphon Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Looks great! the only major differences i could pick up between 2 and 3 are the sword and the wings, If you're looking for more details to add for the overall banner (because the icon is great!) i guess you're looking at scrollwork below, possibly homeworld Ariel + its orbiting moon Sebastio behind/ above the head of the Lion? Then the generic marine paraphenalia of purity seals etc.. Im assuming it will be green background, golden lion, white wings, red sword? Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out! I might have to revamp my own lol. They look pretty pathetic these days haha. (stoopid old timey pixellated printer!) Good luck with it! :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/#findComment-1882088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 mmm, sort of. the plan is more the creation of a coat of arms, with the lion figure taking up the major portion of the shield. I was planning on sketching that bit tomorrow, but I've been busy experimenting with blending and colour schemes for the rest of the base and it's going quite slow. EDIT+++ SUPER ROUGH DRAFT I'll take this down once I have a better version, but it should give an idea of what the banner will look like. (lion goes inside the shield) feel free to comment or add suggestions. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff297/pchol/DSCN0032.jpg EDIT AGAIN+++ ok, so I'm going to make the shield larger, because I have to cram that winged lion inside the shield. I'll have that fixed for the next version of the sketch.

kraegus Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 version two of the banner. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff297/pchol/232.jpg I'm not going to keep the colours like this, it's just a bit less migraine inducing than straight black and white. a link without the lion in it, if you're curious: end design mockup Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/#findComment-1883386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 kraegus: Dude that design looks well class!!!!!!!

The Angelus Sanctus Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ==He== would be proud indeed :D Good to see that there are still a few devoted AotLer's out there, Sandalphon still being our key painter :).

The Angelus Sanctus Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ==He== is still around. I've seen ==Him== post in various Amicus threads and a few *gasp* Chaos Daemon threads.

Sandalphon Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The coat of arms style banner looks SUPERB! Does the 18 signify anything in particular? it would actually make a wicked t-shirt design... Seems a little wide compared the standard army banner size you get from the codex, they're generally long and narrow like 2:1 or more rectangles - do you plan to use a different shape? seriosuly cool bit of artwork there :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/#findComment-1883642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 18 means absolutely nothing. It was the roman number that fit the space best :) if anyone wants to come up with something for it, feel free. and yea, I was thinking that it was starting to look a bit like a tshirt design too :) and as for how it will fit on the banner, well, I'll squeeze it in :P sorry for the lack of updates in the past few hours, I went and watched wrath of khan (excellent excellent movie) and then began working on the base. EDIT+++ ok, so only the left bit of the plate is done, minus the chaosy symbol, i'm just curious what people's thoughts are on the rust, http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff297/pchol/DSCN0042.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160187-a-standard-bearer/#findComment-1883648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
