Greyall Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks, guys. I think we all agree when I say KBA's standards for conversions are one hell of an inspiration for concepts. So I'm finishing a surprise piece, then I'll wrap the DIY prizes with Deathknight2000's char, after which comes Delvarus. The good Triari will then be followed by some truly special pieces, including Vazzy's, which is a true challenge, and, hopefully, Jaspcat's. Should keep me occupied for a while Thank you so very much, brothers, for making this my go-to posting spot. Bummer I haven't had the time to get into the usual fluff debates. Cheers PS: About the archaeotech plasma weapon, it's called "Last Voyage of the White Lady", it predates the Emperor's ascension and depicts a pivotal moment in Catheric faith, the first instance of a Saint (said Lady) was expelled from Heaven by the angelic host for defying God. It was done by the last known Catheric artisan and, unlike other plasma weapons, it projects plasma as a continuous beam, which is only available due to its multiple heat-dissipation systems, from exhausts to the energy-disposal pylons (the little needles).

Greyall Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hey, kids, look who's visiting again. It's uncle Murciel, the Hivegorger. http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/267/2/5/hivegorger_murciel___revisited_by_greyall-d80dt4s.jpg Come night, in the dark, the gravedigger toils, He puts to rest the killer's crops The sun never rises, dawn never comes Gravedigger, poor gravedigger, Your toil never stops. Nostraman Children's RhymeProbably the only psycho in the Night Lords' ranks...Pretty happy with the evolution from the previous one, toned down the bat-theme and the armour looks much more cohesive. Here's oldie-pants: http://th01.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/332/e/7/hive_gorger_murciel_by_greyall-d4hkc3l.jpg Next...Twilight! Well, no, but I like to bring out raw hate in all of you It is vampire-related, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The design is delicious. The pose is a bit wonky. All that bulk resting on just one visible leg has a weird effect to it. It's obvious the other leg is hidden by the one in the foreground, it just looks a bit awkward is all. Not a damning fault by any means. The positioning on the braziers on his back, on the other hand, is more than a little off. At that angle, assuming the two are symmetrically placed on his back, they shouldn't be perfectly vertical like that. It didn't really come across as Night Lord when I looked at it, though. I only knew because I read the text. The swooping armor of his mask and shins is hinting at it, but it stops at Slaaneshy/Dark Elven design rather than going fully through to Night Lord bat stuff. I know that was a goal, to tune down the bat stuff, but a tiny bit more might've been better. Maybe. Not entirely sure, seeing as it is a bit of an excessive image to cover a character in. It's interesting to see how your style has refined since the beginning of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Back when I was still drawing, I always had problems with foreshortening. Mind blown with the foreshortening on that flamer. Awesome, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivepointedstar Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 He's new, and improved. He is awesome, but so was the past one . Like Firepower said you've refined your style. It reminds me of some of your WOW drawings on Deviant-art page. It might be the use of bone, skulls, and teeth. I like the evolution of his armor from then until now it shows how much your grown, and I look forward to your future drawings. I'm looking forward to this vampire one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The new one has much more economy in terms of details and linework. The viewer's eye follows a more natural line and all the parts of the composition blend together better. Love the new look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thanks, mates. Glad to see the desired effect was achieved. Now, on to Dracula. I think I'll pair him with a challenge, by the way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Please, don't put a time limit or first come first served thing. Make it something skill based within a time frame, I beg of you. You're killing us here with this lightning round trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Ooh, a revised version of one of my favourite pieces of your artwork. I love both... hard to pick which version I like more... As far as the new one goes, I particularly like the cleaner face / helm, the braziers and the angling of the heavy flamer. The greaves and the sword are also really nicely done. I miss the more obvious ribcage breastplate though, I loved that on the original. I must resist the urge to ask for an Iron Warrior... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChromeZephyr Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Well, Firepower went and stole my thunder again I see. :D Only complaint I have that he didn't hit is the sword blade doesn't seem to be in the same perspective plane as the grip and his hand, like it's off at a really wonky angle. I'll disagree with him in that I feel you've got just enough iconography on there to identify him as one of Kurze's bunch. Love the heavy flamer, too.

Greyall Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 The final reward for the DIY Contest is done...more than a year later, lol...Deathknight2000's Character, Ivan Vladimir of the Exsanguinators, basically Dracula working for the Emperor! http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/279/b/4/chapter_master___exsanguinators_by_greyall-d81vuun.jpg You already know what's coming next, it's hyper-competent Delvarus. But as promised, there shall be a Challenge! So none of that racing against the clock. The challenge is simple: give me a converted mini and I'll draw the best three. Rules: 1. Has to be a conversion, however small the adjustment. 2. Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines or Daemons only. 3. Only one character will be drawn. If you want to present a diorama, only one of the characters will be drawn. 4. No need to convert a mini on purpose for this challenge, you can use an existing one (this is because I simply can't confirm if a mini is new or not) 5. The decision will, of course, have some degree of personal preference to it, as is to be expected. 6. The verdict will be given when I post Delvarus, which should take 1 to 2 weeks. During that time, feel free to improve or change your conversion. Your final post will be the one judged. 7. All works are to be posted on the Clever Girl thread 8. No painting is required. Though taken in consideration since it makes the end result cooler, it is very much secondary. Hope you like the idea, mates. It'll be an honour, if the conversions around B&C are any indication. Cheers, be seeing you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nameless Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Heathens, you said you wanted your warsmith drawn by Greyall, now's your chance. And Greyall, for whatever reason the helmet really draws my eyes to it. Also, are those needles on his forearm made for draining people of blood?

Greyall Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 @Marine73: Thanks, mate. And welcome aboard. @Sampson: That's not true, your very minis deny you. Give it a try =) @Ageis: All works are to be posted here, please. Welcome :) @Nameless: They are, with a sort of apothecarish system built into the vambrace so any species' blood can be cleansed of toxins/corruption and its nutrients assimilated. Mayhap I've created a Kage... RULES UPDATED: - All works are to be posted on the Clever Girl thread. - No paint is necessary for the mini, though it is taken in consideration since it makes the end result cooler, it is secondary.
