Recommended Posts

So FFG just put up news on Deathwatch a week or so back and I just noticed that one of my power armoured guys was in the newsarticle...

 

Here is a peek at it (did some more for the book, look out for it when the book is out)

How many layers do you tend to work with mate? Ive found my last two pieces Ive almost lost count of the layers I have on the go and i cant get my rendering anywhere near as smooth as you.

 

I find that I am using less and less layers nowadays, and increase the size of the canvas and the dpi instead. To an extent I'm more painting over then using readjustment on layers. I mainly use layers to do colour corrections and lighting effects, such as desaturation or making an image warmer or colder....

Cool pieces Colrouphobic. but isn't the Plasma cannon a little small?

 

I mean when you look at the minis it looks so cumbersome

 

but again great work!

Cheers,

Yeah, for the images I made for Emperor Protects I got quite some references to use though. I also wanted to show a little more of the actual marine and in the pose FFG chose from the sketches I had to make the plasmacannon a little smaller to achieve that. It isnt that much smaller though, only shorter really. About a hand or two, by meassurment of the SM's hands..

So the book is out, I made a total of four illos for it, one you seen (above) and I did one more Marine, one non-PA character called Rylus Darkscourge (not sure I can post it) and one icon for a tainted sect (I think).

 

Marine and Icon below:

I really like your work as always but i have to point out that the helmet of the marine in your new batch of work, well.... it looks a bit out of sorts, apart from that though he looks good.

 

I think the chaos symbol is fantastic though! ;)

I think you might be right about the helmet... nothing like learning from ones misstakes :lol:

 

 

Scrap-meister, you might be right. I just get briefs with descriptions of what I need to paint and a mock-up name :)

 

It was called "Radial of Chaos" in the brief, and the description mentioned mechanicus cogs etc...
