Daedalus Templarius Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Some random art I whipped together while practicing my greyscale rendering techniques, it features Grey Knights and fire! Good combo imo. http://galefire.com/sites/default/files/images/gk-force.preview.jpg larger version available here http://galefire.com/gk-purge-061909 I need to get a pic of my actual army to go along with it, too bad my model painting skills aren't quite on the same level as my digital painting skills :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171487-random-art-of-grey-knightsfire-updated-808/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakehunter52 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Very cool, I like the contrasting blue. Gives them a very...supernatural feel to them. But, question: Whats the deal with the Reaver in the background? Or is it that GK titan that that one guy built?

Thanks, I guess its a GK titan, I know I've seen one before so I figured I'd throw some in the background to give it some more depth.

Daedalus Templarius Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 I am working on another picture actually, not too close to getting finished, but I guess I'm at about the halfway point so far. I was actually considering doing some sequential (eg. comic) art for GKs and Inquisitors, since I think GK fiction is pretty sparse other than Ben Counter's few novels. I'll try to finish up this next pic tomorrow or something.

Daedalus Templarius Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Finally finished, at least till I see something that needs to be fixed. Fluffy description and larger view available at http://galefire.com/purge-part2-062509 http://galefire.com/sites/default/files/images/slade-and-crew.preview.jpg Drawing GK helmets is kind of annoying >.< even when I have minis to look at while I'm doing it. Might be trying some kind of narrative with these guys in the near future...

Daedalus Templarius Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Woah, finally got this next one done... and its pretty big.

Alanter Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Fine piece of art.

- 7eAL - Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 How should one scale Space Marine bodies, anyway? Yours are all fairly slim, for example.

Dilgar Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Fine piece of art. I like the WEs axe - and the way the GKT is looking at it. :tu: And the GK is half pointing at his Halberd, almost as if saying "Mine is bigger then yours" :) Really nice work there!

syrinaut Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 How should one scale Space Marine bodies, anyway? Yours are all fairly slim, for example. I guess you could take a look at all of the "true scale" space marine models people create. I assume their proportions would be pretty normal.

I guess you could take a look at all of the "true scale" space marine models people create. I assume their proportions would be pretty normal. That's about as close as they can get, really. Heads are close to scale for an ordinary person, but a Marine's head should ordinarily seem small on such a broad torso. I try to draw them as they appear in the more detailed pages of the 4th Edition Marine codex, or like the ubiquitous image of the one-armed Ultramarine standard bearer - the one in the corner of the Command Squad entry on page 55 of the 5th Edition Marine codex. Their legs still don't fit into their groin plates, and they are still large enough to be considered giants, but at least their necks are not disproportionately long.

Daedalus Templarius Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks for the kind words guys. On the SM proportions, I am still working on getting the hang of it, but I usually use reference from the DH and SM codexi. Mine are slim, but if you look at any of my other art, most of my characters are generally slim :huh: I'm not quite used to drawing the massively exaggerated physique of space marines yet. At least when I draw inquisitors I can generally stick to normal proportions. Hopefully I can get something new done up pretty quick when I get back in town.

- 7eAL - Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Coming from a family of broad-shouldered and barrel-chested men and hanging around friends who aren't skinny enough to make much of an impression, I generally have a hard time drawing tall slim men unless I'm looking at one. All my artwork scales toward people with a fighter's build, women included - some twenty pounds heavier than is generally fashionable on television and film. Only ten pounds heavier if we're talking about Batman or Superman. This habit of mine combined with the fact that Space Marines naturally are supposed to be massive, means I probably scale them a whole 10% heavier than what should be considered standard :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171487-random-art-of-grey-knightsfire-updated-808/#findComment-2053346 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firenze Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 My marines are steadily getting bulkier. I try to make them look massively strong and very powerful.

Daedalus Templarius Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 So I finally finished my GK infantry and took a couple of pictures. This doesn't really go with my "artwork" thread, but I figured I'd just post everything in here anyway. I should have some new art(we'll see how long it takes me, lol) coming soon, I have a script written for a short sequential story that I'll be doing. Anyway, here are pics of my GKs! http://galefire.com/sites/default/files/images/gk-all-op.preview.jpg http://galefire.com/gk-infantry-080109 http://galefire.com/sites/default/files/images/gk-terms-op.preview.jpg http://galefire.com/gk-terms-080109 http://galefire.com/sites/default/files/images/gk-pagk2-op.preview.jpg http://galefire.com/gk-pagk2-080109 http://galefire.com/sites/default/files/images/gk-pagk1-op.preview.jpg http://galefire.com/gk-pagk1-080109 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171487-random-art-of-grey-knightsfire-updated-808/#findComment-2067674 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedalus Templarius Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 I dont like your artwork because they arent desktop sized *nudge nudge wink wink* Hah, I may have to rectify said injustice.

Wolf Guard Nostromo Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Belated, but the artwork is great. I'm a big fan of this kind of style, and what better subject matter than Grey Knights.

Daedalus Templarius Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Thanks for the kind words Nostromo ;) I know this one isn't specifically GK/Inquisition related, but I want to keep the thread going... and most of you seem to enjoy it well enough so... I might be helping out with some art for a Fallout 3 mod that features Black Templars and Orks, should be fun. http://galefire.com/sites/default/files/images/bt-vs-orkz.preview.JPG Full size available here http://galefire.com/bt-v-orks-080809 I have some script written for a GK/Inquisition romp sequential art story, first scene is next on my to-do list.
