sgtNACHO Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 You=Awesome! Very nice, I do think the OP pic needs a bigger head, but really it doesn't make the pic any less friggin amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Interesting looking Guilliman. Also cool to see that you draw so big and in the analog medium that is often forgotten today. Keep it up! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Askren Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 I actually don't do most of my work on full sized comic boards, as they're rather expensive compared to regular white paper, and they're very hard to scan because of their size. I tend to save them for projects that I want to be able to work on a larger scale and/or fit more detail, or when I'm doing comic pages, as you can see in this little snapshot I took of some of the random comic boards I had lying around my room. The foremost, to keep inline with the board rules, is page one of a Space Marine/Chaos Space Marine comic my girlfriend wrote last year, which I illustrated. I would post the rest of it, but it's a bit...risque, and rather hard to explain to someone on a board such as this why. My girlfriend has...interesting tastes. http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/5224/aveostill0102.png The first few sketches in this thread are just done on plain white paper. As for being behind the times, I'll admit I am. I haven't had the spare money to pick up a decent tablet, but even if I did, I'll always love the feel of holding a real pencil.

Midas Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I love your artwork ESPECIALLY the proportions. The only beef I have is with how high up the shoulder armor sits it should only just clear of touching the main chest piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well the fact that you work large at all is really cool! And whether you use regular white paper, comic boards or digital methods, your work speaks for itself. You clearly have some real talent for illustrating so your work is not compromised by the medium it is presented in. As for not affording a Wacom, I bought an intuos 2 in 2002, I think it was. I payed around 860 U$ for it back then, with a bit of extra gear on the side. Expensive, sure! But Im still using it today and its one of the best investments Ive ever made as far as computer hardware goes. Takes a bit of getting used to, but once you get the hang of it you never go back! Plus it helps prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. Definitely worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it helps prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. Definitely worth it! I'm actually looking into buying the new Intuos 4 Medium, as it seems to suit me quite well. My current tablet is a tiny old piece of junk that's about 8" wide, which is far too small for me to use, since I need to lean my arm when I draw. So the 14" Intuos is a lot easier to use, and not that bad at $369. As always, thanks for the kind words. As long as someone enjoys what I do, I'll always have a reason to keep doing it, so I truly thank you all. I promise I'll post something tonight. It's been slow going, but I've been working on something that I will share as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Glad to hear you are considering an Intuos 4. Myself Ive been slobbering over the Wacom Cintiq for ages now. Wonder if I will ever afford one. Looking forward to seeing what you've been working on Askren! - Whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
