Peck Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi. I know this isn't much, however I haven't contributed anything in a number of weeks and thought that some people might get enjoyment out of this little doodle I did the other day at work. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v693/penguin-91210/Warhammer/Space_Marine_Doodle.jpg I tend to imagine seasoned Space Marines as being calm and calculating (y'know, since they don't know fear). I wanted to get the right balance between the appearance of a century-old warrior whose body has been grown to a tremendous size (his features being a bit small for his skull) all the while effectively catching bullets with his face, while still looking intelligent and quick-witted. I'm not a fan of "pretty" Marines like many of the characters in what I've played of Dawn of War II. It's really tough to depict age without, well, depicting age. If you make a Marine that looks too old then it looks a bit ridiculous, too young and it looks implausable. Maybe one day I'll actually do a proper 40K picture, but in the mean time, I hope you like this little doodle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Nugz Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Maybe to include a bit of furious space marine you could add some veins on the top of his head like he is seriously p'ed off. Beautiful picture by the way, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 A really nice picture. If you're interested in 40k art you should check out Ordo Illuminatus - I know the posters there would be glad to see your work! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The round nose makes him look like a Disney character. Apart from that, you captured what you wanted him to look like well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
