Pulse Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Just for a second i thought feathers what? Then realised they are the beginnings of horns, lol. Personally i think the helmet would be better without horns - not every chaos marines has them...

Captain Juan Juarez Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Plus the Iron Warriors are quite... neglecting?... of Chaos are they not? Traitor Legion faith isn't my strongpoint.

Zynk Kaladin Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Geez, looking at your work always makes me look myself in the mirror and yell "YOU SUCK! STOP TRYING!" Imo, the heads are a bit too small, but I guess that's your style.

Rogan Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Mr. Nipples, you are one of my favourite artists. You're drawing the Marines exactly as I want them - I know it may sound weird - big and strong. Thanks for sharing!

Haunter! Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Horns aren't really an Iron Warriors thing if you ask me. The helmet looks great with just the stripes and the star, the horns make it look too busy.

Reldn Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Definitely looking good, though, I'm not overly fond of the horns as well. The design of the helm and hazard stripes scream "Iron Warrior" enough as-is. Either way, yet another quality piece is coming together. I definitely admire your artwork and skills!

Drac0 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Personally i think the helmet would be better without horns - not every chaos marines has them... Gotta agree on this one, but I'm kinda parcial as I never really liked the chaos marines horned helnets.

Lord_Halrian Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Make the horns curve more slightly? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220459-artwork-never-forget-never-forgive/page/2/#findComment-2635816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colrouphobic Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 lovely composition. Don't like the horns. I dont mind horns on helmets of chaos guys, regardless of legion (maybe not on Alpha-legion, but thats because with horns its difficult to be sneaky about whom you are). But, I think it looks like e just grew these.. essentially he is "minor chaos" or "Chaos mini-marine" .. they should be slightly bigger/longer... Or without them at all. Otherwise I'm really liking what I see these days from you. A little more fiddling with things like anatomy and foreshortening and you will have that job at GW in your palm.

Mr. Nipples Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hey guys, so I'm back from the dead. I've had strep this whole week and I've felt like a peterbuilt hit me. Basic update here from a few days ago, fixed some of the anatomy and proportion issues (even though hes a 10 ft tall super human in huge armor) and cleaned up the lines, now I'll start adding in some more lighting and texture work. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/JasonHeuser/JUAN-2.jpg Colrouphobic-I agree with the horns, I plan to nix them. I hope GW sees things as you do ha-ha. I still haven't received any responses Sad face. I shall cut the horns from this guys, I should be back to 100% and working the next few days so expect more from me then.

GooseDaMoose Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 This stuff is awesome, I love it! But.. isn't the Iron Warriors helm just a tad bit smaller than the Imperial Fists'?

Crimson Fisting Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Imo, the heads are a bit too small, but I guess that's your style. His heads are actually more in scale than the miniatures. The Marine minis are actually ludicrously out of scale with their giant heads, if they were real their armor would be paper thin. The artwork that shows the Marines heads looking tiny is cool, it makes them look more imposing 'cause their armor's huge.

cathar the great Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 @Crimson Fisting: I agree with you on the scale issue. I also dig your nickname ^^ @Nipples: Great to see you back in action with so many cool pieces. You were one of my biggest inspirations when I joined the board and it's good to have you back here. And if GW don't want you, I'm sure there are lots of game studios that are looking for someone with your talent.

Brother Styphus Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I can't wait to see the end result of this. 2011 is definitely the year of the Fist, and I'm sure that when you are finally driven mad by the yellow, your end result will be stunning.

Firepower Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I can't help but feel that the 'chin' is at an odd sort of angle.

Mr. Nipples Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I dont really time these things, I just pop on a tv show and start drawing. Roughly a few episodes of the office I'd say is the timeframe. heres the update from tonight, the rain and stuff add to it and am really happy with the look of it so far. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/JasonHeuser/JUAN-4.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/220459-artwork-never-forget-never-forgive/page/2/#findComment-2651034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicus Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm really liking the texturing and the rain. Just a reminder of a major idea earlier...POWER FIST CRUSHING IRON WARRIOR HAT!!!

Shadey Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Looking good so far. The IW helmet itself is brilliant. Incredible texture, hazard stripes, eyes. From the moment I heard horns though I thought blech. Don't get me wrong, I like em they can look really cool, but the design of the helmet just did not suggest, need or want them. The only other thing, to me that (Iron Warriors) helm seems a little small. I understand one could argue about the genetic oversize mutant thing, but you don't really see undersized heads in the minis. (unless your talking about chosen chaos warriors :)) All the good points I mentioned also apply to the Fister's helm too.
