Clever Girl... - Wink Wink, Nudge Nudge


Greyall

Recommended Posts

I've already sent Greyall a long, winding love note, but I'll say it here too: It's a dream come true. Phelan looks stunning, and Vall is perfectly drawn. All my admiration, Greyall. 

 

There is no such thing as perfection.  That's why the BnC needs appreciates tolerates people like me ;)

 

His stature certainly fits your description, though.  Barring the baby hands. Suppose it's better than an awkward crotch-dragon, though.  :teehee:

I think that depends on if your criticism was asked for, or simply foisted upon the unsuspecting.

The big guy, Phelan Mahdra of Hyena's Iron Warriors, I already made the figure for. The other is my own character, Vall, who I don't have a figure for yet. I gave Greyall pics of Mahdra and a rough outline of Vall to see what he could come up with, and I think he did a great job on both. He went a completely different direction with the helmet than anything I had considered doing and I would like to see if I can replicate it, or come close. :D

Time for a little personal project before getting on to Arkhan's boy:

My take on the Centurion suit, and an hommage to Christopher Lee.

 

Hope you like it, guys. Now to draw an Outrider bike...you'll pay for that, Arkhan...

Sorta reminded me of a Megaman boss at first glance, for some reason.  Maybe the pose or the big thigh...hm.  :lol:

 

Aside from the mouth grill, I'm not seeing anything that really bugs me.  The grill just looks a tad off, most likely because of the tiny bit underneath being straight and level, while the rest curves upward.  Doesn't seem like something that's technically wrong, just a bit confusing to my eye.  It took me a second to realize the blank spot on the chest piece was flames.  I thought the scales were just flaking off.  Makes a lot more sense now that my brain caught up :teehee:

 

Anyway, good use of negative space on the left leg, and a solid design over all.  You've also got a knack for animals, and it's always fun to see that pop up. :)

Someone, somewhere, has had a light bulb appear over their head with that image. I hope there's at least one effort to turn that into a model because it looks much better than the GW version.

Challenge accepted. cool.png

Definitely had a lightbulb moment. blink.png It might take me a while though but ill definitely give it a go. Now, off to buy some centurions and see whats what... wacko.png

Outstanding picture. Very inspiring from modeling point of view and distinctly missing the clunkyness of the models which look like they might topple over domino style with once decent shove. Has certainly captured a certain air of suitably savage badassery. One approves. biggrin.png

Cheers,

Arg

You know my love for all things draconic/ fire breathing lizards. So this one's superb. You've actually convinced me that the one set of models I do not have( Centurions) , I must get them just to attempt to make them as cool as this guy. At first I saw the left shoulder pad and it looks like a T-Rex and thought Devourer, but the Firedrake symbol swayed me to knowing it was a Salamander. Such a cool drawing :)

On one side, it looks badass. On the other, it looks more like a heavily altered Mk I Saturnyne, than a ...*retch*....Centurion.

 

Whatev's. That helm is going into my 'To-Do' pile, I need to try to make that.  :D

 

Keep on keeping on, brother. Always a pleasure to see more of your work.

I'm Surprised you chose Melta Guns on this suit instead of going all-in and giving him 2 Heavy Flamers so Salamanders it to the max!

...Then again, its not a legal option so I see why tongue.png (even though they can take Normal Flamers but, who wants those?)

Glad you got rid of the Power Mittens.

@Hyena: My goal was to make it more like a Mega-Power Armour and less like a completely new design, lack of design connection is something I miss in the current Centurions (though there are obvious clues to the suit's origin).

 

@Slipstream: Those are Xy'zon-Pattern Melta Cannons. "Xy'zon" meaning - because I say so - "Horizon" in Nocturnean. As in, once you fire those, you see what's on the other side of the target.

That's exactly it, he looks like an ancient, less common Termie variant, instead of the laughable pointlessness that is the Centurion.

You can be excited, if I manage to finish my plan for your chap. Challenging little thing...

 

Of course there can be only one crotch dragon, it's one of Vulkan's artifacts. Though, for some reason, He'stan hás yet to claim it
