confused_gordy Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 man I wish blood letters looked more like the one on the left.

falldown Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The fact that the heads are still proportionally the same is visually distracting. However I can mentally bypass that by imagining the intro teaser movie for SC2. When I do that I consider the GK in this picture as a "pilot" of the oversized suit. Doesn't really fit the fluff, but it works for me. Overall, a lot better then anything I could do. Well done. Really fun picture to look at and dig into visually.

falldown Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Heh. Well I am glad to hear that it will only be getting better. Looks awesome as is and that was honestly my only criticism. I like the size of the armor, I like the composition.

Daedalus Templarius Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Its done! http://galefire.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bigdaddydraigo-and-friends-fin-opt.jpg EPIC size available here... http://galefire.com/2011/06/kaldor-draigo-and-friends/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228778-inquisitors-with-a-chance-of-nids-galefire-art-thread/page/2/#findComment-2806963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Something Wycked Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Classic. Beautifully colored, fantastic detail work. I especially like the warpfire-looking sky. The only thing I don't love is the size of the heads; they're a bit small for my tastes, but not comically so (unlike the Blood Angels codex cover, which made me cringe.) Very well done, sir. Thanks for posting it!

Daedalus Templarius Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 So I did a bit of a small update to fix a few thing and improve the overall composition in my opinion. http://galefire.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bigdaddydraigo-and-friends2-opt.jpg Epic size is still available here...http://galefire.com/2011/06/kaldor-draigo-and-friends/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228778-inquisitors-with-a-chance-of-nids-galefire-art-thread/page/2/#findComment-2808526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Something Wycked Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 ^_^ Took out the daemons they were slaughtering? They looked good, amigo. I can see where you're coming from, though. These guys are BAMF enough without having mooks getting killed on the sides, and this way it does really focus the attention more to the center instead of the edges. Still looks great! :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228778-inquisitors-with-a-chance-of-nids-galefire-art-thread/page/2/#findComment-2808530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Templarius Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 I took them out because I added them as an afterthought to the composition, and they just didn't feel like they were interacting well with the guys they were supposed to be fighting. Also, I wanted the focus to be more on the center, as it was all over the place before (and still kind of is), but its slightly more focused now at least, heh.

Daedalus Templarius Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 So I did a couple quick Dark Heresy characters, not quite as in depth as my usual stuff, but that is because I just wanted to get a quick visual of them. Colors came out kinda meh, I'll do a more proper picture in an actual setting once we get some better gears. http://galefire.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/dae-and-anilo-lvl2.jpg http://galefire.com/2011/07/quick-dark-heresy-acolytes/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228778-inquisitors-with-a-chance-of-nids-galefire-art-thread/page/2/#findComment-2813945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 That picture sums up how Draigo is, Lead's from the front with his shield behind him instead of in front of him, and after taking a few wounds remembers what its there for ;) Nice feel, and is now my desktop wallpaper :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228778-inquisitors-with-a-chance-of-nids-galefire-art-thread/page/2/#findComment-2813956 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankred Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Very good work, but, in my opinion, too much comicstyle, expecially the last pic.

Daedalus Templarius Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Last pic didn't really come out the way I wanted, not to mention I drew it on a sticky-note ;) future stuff, heck my old stuff, doesn't really look like that.

Aidoneus Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Aw, you took out the cool background. The characters look great, but they're sorta in the middle of nowhere. They look too much like they're on display somewhere. I think putting them in the environment adds a lot to the picture overall, and gives context for where they are and what they're doing. Otherwise, great pic. And the previous ones with the Grey Knights were fantastic! Nice to see someone with talent do some quality color pictures of them. Keep up the great work!

Daedalus Templarius Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 I took them out of the background because it didn't make sense. Trained acolytes wouldn't be standing in the light, at night, in the middle of a hive city, perhaps ready to do battle. I felt like I was trying to force a narrative on what was just supposed to be a picture of a couple of characters. Next time I draw them, they will be in a situation that makes sense, so I CAN do a cool background. However, next up is a commission piece for a guy of an Inquisitoress fighting nids in a frozen tundra!

thade Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I really like these now. :( Well done. I dig the look of conviction on the Inquisitor's face. That gene stealer has it coming to him.
