Kanis Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Greetings battle-brothers, I have been really hard at work on a piece of artwork of my favorite (and our beloved) Primarch Sanguinius, for a few weeks now. I am hoping it's allowed to post this artwork here as I wasn't sure where art would be posted anywhere else. Sorry if it's not and I'll remove it. Regardless, also please forgive the many flaws within this picture as I am not really skilled/taught in the ways of artwork, and am working to improve myself each day! Thank you and I can only hope to capture a small glimmer of our lost Sanguinius. I would greatly appreciate feedback on what I need to fix/add/improve upon so it becomes something more, just try to hold back the Rage if you find my work below your standards! ^ ^;; http://i817.photobucket.com/albums/zz94/kanis88/AngelSangWIP.png His humble servant, Kanis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Atticus Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 His face looks a bit on the wimpy side, but I think the armour is great. I'd maybe put a bit more decal on the shoulder pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnyb Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Nothing about that looks correct to me. I think you need to make him more masculine. This is in the pose, the body, the face, and importantly the wings. At the moment it looks more like a fairy elf, in armour. Sorry for harsh critique.

jabbakahut Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I agree, with donnyb. Seems a bit cartoony, like if they were to do a Sat morn toon of the Primarch when they were teenagers. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbit3 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 far better than I could ever do. keep trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeralJim Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Looks good Kanis. I can see your better at some things than others. The good? The wings, the hair, the sun-daise behind his face. They all look fantastic man. The hair especially is really great, it reminds me of a Super-Saiyan (and that's a good thing!). The detail on his armour is really good too, you've taken the Horus Heresy? artwork as a source piece and lost none of the detail. The bad is pretty simple. Sanguinius was a Primarch. Space Marines are meant to be 9-11 foot tall, Primarchs bigger again. They were titans. Think of the Spartans in the movie 300, imagine them with a bit more muscle (if you can believe it) and then scale them up to be twice as big as a regular human being today. Your drawing *does* make him look really wimpy. His chest and his arms should be bulky, well-toned and enormous. There is also something odd about the angle at which his neck and head meet. It's okay to make his face a bit pretty, Sanguinius was meant to be beautiful and radiant like the sun. But he was still an enormous man and a furious, very aggressive warrior. The guy you draw should be able to take on a Blood Thirster in single combat after all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanis Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I really appreciate the feedback all, and though some of it's a tad harsh/blunt, I do see what is meant right away. :X I can't believe I drew him so small, so I'll try really hard to give him that Primarch physique I am /clearly/ missing here. So again, thanks for being honest and letting me know what I need to fix! The face was/is a point I'm having issues as he was always described as beautiful, but I make it look wimpy instead, but not sure how to make it more war-hardened? Anyone have some ideas for that? Also very much appreciate the kind words as well, helps to continue along despite such horrific flaws! XD I only wish to do my brothers and Primarch proud, so this is important to me. Thanks for this feedback and I'll have another WIP with all of your feedback/critiques included soon, and thank you B&C for allowing it!

Grimdarkness Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The face is soft like a child who has yet to mature lose the chubby cheeks and the pout and the face should look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Maybe beautiful is not the correct term here...I'd say handsome is far Note fitting. I agree with those above, he looks a Bit wimpy, more like a child with a playhouse primarch armour. :) With the points above fixed, I think he will look great once finished!

The Holy Heretic Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I believe John Blanche would have a heart attack just to roll over in his grave :) The drawing is neat and all, but its manga and has nothing to do with 40K ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Chris Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Why not. To make him more masculine give him a stronger jawline and wider shoulders. Traditional angels are asexual so they have a slight femine look if basically 'male' . Sanguinius is a male human with angelic beauty so no harm in making him a bit tougher looking.
