Wayward Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hey there lads. I lend Greyall a minor hand with one of his fabulous ilustrations, and in a completely disproportionate show of gratitude he asked me to choose the theme for his final commision on this fine thread: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...5&start=925 It will be an Unforgiven. Based on a detail of the cover of the 4th ed codex. Once the ilustration is up, there will be virtual cookies for the ones that find out in what part of the cover this source of inspiration is. So keep looking that thread, is worth every page! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249136-greyall-doing-some-more-da-awesomeness/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yey! I loved the Consecrator he did for Semper. I see a very imposing character that would fit nicely in his style already.

JaM_TW Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I like it, BUT the right hand has oo much white on it IMHO. Otherwise great drawing.

Greyall Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I was a little conflicted about the right hand being so plain, but I ended up leaving it like that, mainly because I couldn't think of a pattern to insert there, but also because it's the underside of the gauntlet. Also, he'll look much plainer coloured, since every decoration that has that fine shadow around it is bas-relief, hence "sculpted" on the black plate. Which means that, apart from the knees, rivets, the written strip near the belt and the lanterns, his legs are all black.

Captain Semper Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well, that's another reason why this is an excellent drawing: when people imagine it in color it could be in a number of (equally legit) ways. The engravings of the upper thigh for example, they could be metal-plated with silver, bronze or gold. The gauntlet could be just black or dark green (a reference to the Chapter) of white (a reference to the DW). The thing is that color can pronounce the detail of plain areas of the figure (be it 2-D or 3-D). I've done something similar with my Terminator Chaplain (the pic is in my Disciples link) and painted the base of the gauntlet green. Although this particular area was detail free (there are some rivets actually ;)) the different color is making it stand out! just my 2c.
