Colrouphobic Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 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) http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/o/2010/320/f/e/fef8265413a64f7334179a1c72cdbc2a.jpg Thats alot larger then it is in the book mond you, here is the original article where the size is closer to printsize: http://fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=1752 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215211-artwork-i-got-powerarmoured-by-ffg/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannicide Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Congrats, Col. ;) Your artwork has always had its own distinctive feel. Its never once melded with someone else's work to be forgotten, and instead I've always thought that it meshed remarkably well with the 40k universe.

Biohazard Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Love it Col, Im a fan of yours on pretty much every site I can find you on. I love your style and am amazed at the difference in quality from your earlier stuff to your most recent.

Colrouphobic Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Cheers guys, Incredbile. Did you use some computer painting techinique for the Space Marine? Ran define "computer painting technique"? I paint using a graphic tablet (Wacom Intuos4) in a computer programme, typically photoshop or painter.

Biohazard Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 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.

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....

carnosaur93 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 that is so cool! :D would love to have my work displayed in stuff like the deathwatch books... and regarding layers. 1 layer = hardcore mode ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215211-artwork-i-got-powerarmoured-by-ffg/#findComment-2564290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 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!

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..

A D-B Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 That's slick as hell. What I love about it is how distinctive it looks - never seen a Marine done in that style, or with that shading before. It looks lush.

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I noted that picture when I first saw it on the FFG site Colrouphobic. It is awesome! - Keep it up!

Colrouphobic Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 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: http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2010/348/9/d/dw03_assault_marine_by_1mpact-d34vhi4.jpg http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/348/f/2/dw03_radial_of_chaos_by_1mpact-d34vhlq.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215211-artwork-i-got-powerarmoured-by-ffg/#findComment-2589349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 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! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215211-artwork-i-got-powerarmoured-by-ffg/#findComment-2589366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrap-miester Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 That icon may be for the Dark Mechanicus... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/215211-artwork-i-got-powerarmoured-by-ffg/#findComment-2589379 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the chaos symbol is fantastic though! :D 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...
