Clever Girl... - Wink Wink, Nudge Nudge

[Aqui]

Thanks, everyone, it's awesome to be back.

Aye, Firepower, you're right, my cloths need work.

Working on Aquilanus' symbol, now =)

Ooh! Happy bunny here, as I'm 38 years standard tomorrow and it'll be a perfect surprise

[Heru]

No no no, GoT characters shouldn't be from existing Chapters / Warbands / Legions, they should be from custom creations just like Greyall did with Tywin.

[Dark Sensei]

Hey frater, your Tywin is incredible ! Well, always a pleasure to see your exquisite work, keep-on the sharing, its huge.

Dunno, personally, I would have seen Tywin as a BT, more austere than the Lion's chapter heritant. His sons would be the perfect guess for a DA (or the cross between a BA and an EC...).

Thanks, matey =)

 

Hmm...well, I chose the DA for the obvious Lion similarity, then it was a matter of forging a place for him. The man's treacherous and ruthless as hell, so I could see him leading the DA successor chapter in charge of dealing with all them pesky witnesses and inquirers. Actually, that'd make for some great stories, I think, with some heavy political intrigue - not to the point of boredom, of course.

Hehe, you undoubtfully've got a point with the treacherous DA heritage 8)

"hmmm Heresy's raging on Earth, I doub't we arrive in time for the fight but we sure will be there in full regalia to praise the winner..."

Tywin would make a cool Jacq Draco's face too... Hmmmm auld times !

[ChromeZephyr]

Well, since Firepower went to town on you already (and said what I was going to say about the cloth, anyways) I'll just say that the lion on the shoulder pauldron looks like he's stifling a giggle.  Maybe that's in character (I know jack spit about GoT), but it just seems a little odd just on first impression. 

 

Love the facial expression for the Marine and the roaring lions on the grieves, though.

[fivepointedstar]

Looks great. Are you planning to make more of these cross-overs? Cause I like like this idea.

[Greyall]

Thanks, Death Knight =)

 

Hmm, not for now, I think. I just wanted to vent all my excitement for GoT's last season. For now I have about 6 more drawings and a lot of productive routine-building to do.

 

Plus I'm not really into cross-overs. I'm immensely thankful to Deviantart for giving me a stand on which to show my artwork, but the truth is you start seeing some creeeeepy cross-over stuff - and promptly fear the very concept. A pity, really, but it does irk me a bit. This one came out nice, but then I'd be drawing pretty boy-Rob as a grimdark Space Wolf/Space Winter Marine and my eyes would implode.

 

PS: Nothing against the actor playing Rob, I quite like the guy, but it's just not 40k material.

The secret is knowing when to stop, far too many people out there don't. I loved the pic and was really impressed by the likeness to Dance, but I'm glad you're stopping there.

[Greyall]

Well said, brother, thanks =)

[Greyall]

@Zephyr: Sorry, brother, meant to answer you sooner. I think I got the shoulder lion pretty faithfully. It's an ugly piece, to be honest, much like cathedral gargoyles.

It says something about Tywin that a lion with human features isn' the ugliest thing about him...

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Wow, I guess I never paid that much attention to the lion emblem on his pauldrons. Damn, you got it spot on.

[Greyall]

Probably because it really got itself stuck in my head. Specifically, the part of the brain that fuels nightmares...seriously, that thing's just horrific, I considered drawing a normal lion just to cool down the creep-o-meter.

[The_Chaplain]

Very, very true.  But as a side note, you have to give the costume/armor designers a lot of credit in that show for taking a visual concept and running with it.  Charles Dance's armor is in some parts a replica, and in others wildly divergent from a set of Lion armor circa italy in the 1500s which is on display at the musee de l'armee- which they believe was made as a pair with the suit that inspired Jaime Lannister's armor in the scene where the two speak as Tywin is carving up a deer, rather symbolically.  As ugly as those pauldron lion heads may seem, they are nothing compared to the gormless, flat featured lion faces on the originals.  The end product is a lot more visually striking and conveys the power behind the Lannister name.

[Greyall]

Definitely, Game of Thrones' wardrobe team is pure gold. And Tywin's armour is probably the epitome of the whole series. Joffrey's too, though it pains me greatly to admit it.

[ChromeZephyr]

Ah, now I see.  Well done, then, and thanks for the reply.

[Marshal Rohr]

Joffrey as Abaddon. Priceless.

[Quixus]

Joffrey as Abaddon. Priceless.

No, just no. Abaddon does not deserve this. Joffrey is just a stupid sadist with nearly no planning or foresight at all.

[Greyall]

You could say the Hound's and Bronn's fighting pragmatism would fit the Space Wolves or Flesh Tearers, but they're a bit too much on the "bad" side of things.

 

Incidently, the Starks are more like the Imperial Fists or Ultramarines, what with their love for duty and morals.

 

Even with the multitude of Chapters you have - and those you can create, these aren't two very interchangeable universes.

[fivepointedstar]

I'd say Kalissa's dragons fighting styles match my Blood Dragons :) Blood and ash!

[Quixus]

Khaleesi is one of her titles and Daenerys Targaryen is her name.

So I just went through this enitre 80 page topic and was greatly impressed. I will easily admit that a few of your drawings got me thinking about starting a new army, just to ATTEMPT to create one of your masterpieces for tabletop use. It's been said a great deal before, but your artwork is utterly amazing. And now I must watch to attempt to win the next challenge.

[Greyall]

It will take a while for a new Challenge to appear, but I'll try and update the threat regularly. Many thanks, all.

[ChaptermasterDemon7]

After finally catching up with all the awesomeness of this thread, I can now say I have been mind blown to Armegeddon and back. I need to stay on top of this as not to get so behind again lol.
