Valkyrion Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 That picture is bigger than my tv. How can someone draw a picture that means you have to buy a projector to look at it? Well cool.

slaine69 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 It certainly is a busy picture (but so is the majority of 40K images), but I absolutely love it to bits.Well done Sir, well done! yeah 40k pics take no prisoners when it comes to cramming as much as possible into the picture, cheers dude Someone should send you a tank to do freehand on or something. Heck, I'd even buy a Titan just to see you put a picture of the Emperor on it. Have you ever done any freehand work on models? I've messed around with like screaming souls on armour and stuff like that but I can't say ive ever really thought about anything more than that, heh I have now though. your work continues to amaze me :tu: tell me, will you be doing the rest of the primarchs any time soon? ;) thanks man, yeah definitely gonna carry on with the primarchs when I get some spare time which is in short supply these days but I'[ll get 'em posted here when they're done, I'm still working on angron right now but it's tough drawing him as angry as angry as he is That is awesome. :drool: :jaw: :jaw: haha cheers dude *jaw hitting floor* cheers man jimmeny jillickers! brother this is awesome thanks a lot man much obliged MINE, ALL MINE. For the record, I've got it in full-size, with all the juicy detail, here: http://aarondembskibowden.files.wordpress....night_lords.jpg It has to be seen to be believed. The attention to detail is insane. sure is dude and cheers again for a Suh- claud- van -damn- Weet pic to draw. The work seems very rough to me but saying that, in this case, it adds to the character of the peice - great stuff! :) aye it is rough but I never really got into the hyper real way of drawing I tend to lose a lot of the pictures motion when it's all slick and shiny, though there is a piece I was thinking of doing of a space marine in new armour and making it look kinda like a new ferrari and that would have to have to be sharp, aaaaaanyways cheers dude So who is who on the picture? :D It has to be seen to be believed. The attention to detail is insane. You're not kidding. On the far right fella, what I thought was simply a decapitated head when zoomed out, is actually a skinned face draped over a yellow helmet (Imperial Fists I suppose). I'm going to play a little where's waldo on this and see what else sticks out when zoomed in. EDIT: Oh good, it's equal opportunity, I see an ork and space elf head in there too. haha no racism here dude these guys hate everyone Very nice work! cheers dude Mercutian looks wicked with the Heavy Bolter. :devil: thanks man very cool picture!what kind of program or technique does one use to create artwork like this? cheers dude, I use photoshop pretty much from start to finish at the moment I'm using CS5 but it's only a recent change from CS3 which I used for about four years beforehand, as for techniques there's no substitute for sketchin' your ass off until you get it right heh. That picture literally reads like a story. Is that Jezzarah's head on Talo's belt? ... awesome. haha good eye dude it sure is. My favorite parts of this piece are the winged helmet (first time I've seen them done without looking goofy) and the bionics. I'm sure this group photo was taken after the events on a certain space hulk... Fantastic work as always, Slaine. thanks a lot man, it took an attempt of two to get it nailed but I had great feedback from A.D.B which made it a lot easier. pure awesomesauce! ha cheers man Bluh Blub Uh Guh Ooh Blah Gaa! I'm speechless! A D-B did well in choosing you. That's quite possibly some of the finest art I've ever seen, official or not. cheers dude I really appreciate that So who is who on the picture? :D From left to right: Variel, Xarl, Uzas, Talos, Cyrion, Mercutian darn' tootn' Awesome work. That should be the cover of the omnibus when it comes out in a million years (AKA not soon enough!) thanks man I agree. He should start drawing for GW. The art quality would improve greatly. ha cheers dude, y'hear that GW? i think i love you and a stern manly hug to you too Fantastic work! Though I don't think I;d want this hanging in my room while I'm trying to sleep. Maybe I should start reading the book series ha cheers man Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227504-first-claw/page/2/#findComment-2727586 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I think I actually like the sketches more. It's easier to see the detail when everything isn't 'midnight clad' and grimdark-shaded. Absolutely excellent stuff man. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227504-first-claw/page/2/#findComment-2741151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I always love wip pictures and design sketches. It allows you to get a glimpse of the madness behind the creation. :) Also, Firepower: "To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three tigers." Gotta say, it's a favourite film of mine too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227504-first-claw/page/2/#findComment-2741308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legio Draconis Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Everytime I look at it, it gets better. The detail is fantastic, and the so called rough sketches are brilliant too. Kudos good sir.

Hyaenidae Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Dang....that sketch of Uzas warms my heart, there's a very violent look to him, man. Variel is a damn close 2nd place. Out of of curiousity, if you ever land some free time, would you ever consider a sketch of the War-Sage? Considering the level of detail you pack into every inch of these guys armour, I'd love to see you at least sketch up your vision of his sarcophagus. Anyway, awesome work, brother. Keep it up.

Wicced Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 holy grim dark moly! it get's even better :( i'm loving the sketches, and i'm still stunned by your attention to the little details! and thanks for the personal reply ;) Out of of curiousity, if you ever land some free time, would you ever consider a sketch of the War-Sage? Considering the level of detail you pack into every inch of these guys armour, I'd love to see you at least sketch up your vision of his sarcophagus. Anyway, awesome work, brother. Keep it up. gotta second that, a sketch of the war-sage would be absolutely awesome! memo to myself: harass ADBs blog until he begs Slaine69 to create a Malcharion!
