Of Inquisitors & pointy things... Galefire [artwork] thread

[TmdRemm]

Aw, where did the cool background go? I think it's a really awesome piece, but in my opinion the background is too bright, but I'm far from an artist myself, so don't listen to me :)

[Daedalus Templarius]

The background didn't really make any narrative sense, especially since 2 trained acolytes wouldn't be standing in the middle of a pool of light at night. Its is just supposed to be a couple of characters, not in any particular scene. The background in my next piece will actually make narrative sense, so then I won't feel weird having it there :rolleyes:

[Bigger-than-Jesus]

So an Inquisitor, Vindicare Assassin, and Grey Knight Brother Captain walk into a space hulk…

Sounds like the opening to a joke lol. And Nice work, not much I can say beyond that

Iceworld Inquisitoress commissioned piece :D

[Lysimachus]

very nice pic, I like the way the background is used to tell her story, looks to me like they're both about to be dead though!

Yea, this picture had a pretty good narrative behind it I think.

 

They might both be dead, Inquisitors are pretty tough tho.

New one

[Something Wycked]

The guard's arm looks a bit awkward to me. I like the style and details though- its grimdark, very fitting for 40k, very Batman meets cyberpunk ninja. Is that a cape/cloak streaming above the DCA's head? What is that little silver ball on the DCA's sash?

[Daedalus Templarius]

The camera angle didn't exactly turn out how I wanted it, but I thought it was close enough. I probably should have shot some ref of me holding my nerfgun first, heh.

 

Yes, its a camocloak, or supposed to be, and the ball on his belt has a inquisitorial =][= on it.

[Something Wycked]

Oooooh, okay, I wasn't looking for another =I= since he had such a prominent one on the shoulder. And that definitely is a camocloak since its hiding its details from me :jaw:

 

All in all its a great piece amigo, thanks for showing us! :o

[Daedalus Templarius]

Zounds an update!

A baller Inquisitor from my Dark Heresy scenario, he is in charge of those silly acolytes...

And some scary things we fought last time, but they ended up dying WAY too easily... they will be much tougher in the next go around!

[Solid Zaku]

The Inquisitor...I dunno. He's got a massive neck. I mean, he's a leaf-eating herbivore! The body is nice though, although there's very little that distinguishes him as an Imperial Inquisitor, rather than a generic fantasy character.

 

The second picture, on the other hand, is amazing. It's got enough things to make me say 'yeah, that's 40k alright', and yet also say 'OH CRAP!'. Seriously, that's scary good work. Would love to see you make a DH about a Guard squad trying to escape from a Chaos-run manufactorum around Halloween. Shivers just saying that!

 

To sum it up: you're a great artist, but you could use some stuff that makes your pictures 40k-related. Apart from that creepy 2nd pic...

I actually just updated the image a bit, so the neck isn't quite as... pronounced. I guess my gorget was throwing me off or something.

 

The character is dual purpose :devil: but he could probably use a few more inquisitorial rosettes.

he won't have it for long any way -_-

Fantastic pieces, very inspirational.

 

For me especially, as I'm currently stuck on an Inquisitor story I'm writing.

You'll get it, I'd look at Eisenhorn if you haven't read it already... epic Inquisitor book.

 

Also made an update on the Inquisitor pic, now with large face.

[Daedalus Templarius]

Been a while guys... here's some new stuff.

Should have more soon <_<

 

So Aaron Dembski-Bowden told me "I like a lot of things. I absolutely love this." about the top Draigo piece... pretty super awesome.

[jeremy1391]

That Draigo piece is probably the best piece of 40k artwork ever!!!! the scale is immense and beautiful!

Till my next piece where Draigo is torching the Garden of Nurgle! mwahahaha

 

thanks :)

[Russ Brother 92]

only just seen this and only three words sum up my feelings right now... SO FREAKIN' AWESOME!! :) I await this here 'burning nurglies potted plants' :) much as I despise the fluff itself, it does rather lend itself to some epic artwork :)

[Ecritter]

Excellent work, I wish I could get you to do a cover for my Sons of Pyron Codex I'm working on B)

I do commissions all the time :)

PM sent.

[Daedalus Templarius]

PM sent.

 

I have responded to you good sir.

 

Also, got some comps done on the burning of the nurglites in his forest/garden; probably won't get started till I return from Gencon though. Looks to be suitably epic, but possibly not as epic as Bloodthirster standing on top of lava-falls with braying bloodletters to his sides. That is actually kind of hard to top.
