Badaboom Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 This is the last piece on fan art I created. It has been done as a part of an art test for GW, so let´s see what they think about it. Anyway, hope you guys like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogan Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Looks stunning! I like the colours and its dynamic pose, but somehow, the marine looks a little female - short legs, wide hips, broad chest ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortarion Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Very well painted! It certainly looks professional. The only thing I don't like is the bolt pistol, It's way too small. It almost looks like a modern-day uzi or something. 40K weapons in general and bolt weapons in particular should be over-sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 The legs could be a little bigger, as could the helmet and bolt pistol. But other than those minor nitpicks, awesomely brilliant work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mromeo1987 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 to me, the right leg seems as though it couldn't actually move that way without being dislocated from the hip. i understand that you were going to a 'turning' type motion, but i think it might be slightly overdone here. the bolt pistol looks to be in perspective, but space marines weapons should be as over-sized as the marines themselves. I actually enjoy the helmet a lot, the line running down it reminds me of a mold line (haha) my only other thought is that the boots are two different patterns (one being very angular, and one looking rounded). not trying to be over the top with criticism, but being an art student myself I've been grilled on little things like this. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 This is the last piece on fan art I created. It has been done as a part of an art test for GW, so let´s see what they think about it. Anyway, hope you guys like it. It's for GW? Based on this picture (coloured or not) I'd sure hell hire you! Granted the pistol is a little small but that is a minor quibble considering the rest of the picture - this is after all a test piece. Bravo, brother. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Task Force Gauntlet Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 So I assume we'll see a new GW artist soon? :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badaboom Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi brothers! Thanks for the replies, I appreciate them a lot; too bad it´s way too late to retake the piece, but it doesn´t mean I don´t consider your criticism useful. It was done in a hurry along with another piece (an Empire Greatsword), and the results are not as good as they could be. I´ll get an answer from GW on Monday, but I´m not counting on it just now. I´ll upload soon all the previous steps and sketches, so you can see how much it changed from the first rough to this final look. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Good luck with the art test, I like the art but as others said helmet looks little small. You could easily get away with it though as the artwork throughout the Codices (think that's the plural) has way more variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! wait a second, did we just meet a mature and intelligent person on the internet? i don't really know what to say?! either way, the picture looks fantastic, are you able to post a picture of the empire greatsword? i'd very much like to see it.

Badaboom Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 So here there is the evolution of the image, from the start to the step just previous to the one originally posted. About the Greatsword, am I allowed to post here non-servoarmored stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaine69 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 oh my, thats some astounding work dude, your knowledge of space marine armour....er....anatomy? is really impressive. do you ever get the 'what the hell is supposed to go in that gap' problem when your drawing?

Lol! Thanks, but fortunately Paul Dainton, Karl Kopinski and some other GW illustrators have already faced the same problems and solved them pretty well. I do look a lot at their works in search of inspiration, plus the direct contact I have with my own miniatures, that awesome Starcraft 2 cinematic we all love, the Dawn of War videogames...Lots of help all around!

Biohazard Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 That Sarge is awesome. You should develop that one further. i know it was a precursor to the final above but damn that has some motion in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Those sketches are great. They all show real promise, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sceadwe Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 You sir, have some skills. I can just about handle a stick figure, so seeing people post up stuff like this is cool. I'd agree with the previous comments about posing/sizing, the first one seems to be in a bit of a ladylike pose with his legs. But apart from that, I like it. As for your greatsword/any other art, if you post it here, I doubt it would escape the wrath of the inquisition, but you could post a link to the host site? Can't imagine they would get too nasty. If you get taken in for questioning, I'll deny everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Have you heard anything back from the Big GW yet mate? @Sceadwe Heres a link to another Fist painting done by this man.

Sceadwe Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Cheers Biohazard, always good to see a bit of well done 40k art. @Badaboom, would you mind if I asked to harvest your brain and soul? I would love to be able to produce this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badaboom Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 @Sceadwe, harvest at will if I fall in battle. Otherwise, I´m afraid I´ll be needing both my brain and soul for painting and, basicly, living. Thanks a lot for the comments, guys. Have no news from GW so far, but I don´t really hope for a positive answer, so I don´t really care much. If it is the case, you´ll know almost as soon as I do :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
