*Furyou Miko Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The mouth is well within the variables allowed by human individual differences. The midriff is the only thing to complain about on that one, other than that it was posted a few pages back. Teetengee 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servant of Dante Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 MUTATION? SAFE? HERECY! You're obviously a foul Xenos collaborator! But yeah, it's not bad at all, and I like the rest of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Ratlings and Ogryns aren't really mutations in the usual 40k term, more like evolved into a subset of humanity as they're stable. Emperor approved, so long as they earn it in the Guard naturally As for these art works they are really very good, the artist is clearly talented and hard working. That said I think everyone would be better off if he draw some pin up girls as he seems to want to do. Nothing wrong with that if that's what he wants of course, but I like my 40k to be a bit more than slapping some power armour on something (or skulls, purity seals etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 MUTATION? SAFE? HERECY! You are now under suspicion of cultic behaviour. The Orders Dialogous are watching you very carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant of Dante Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Isn't this how all priests of the imperial cult act? I'm genuinely asking I thought any battle sister would have the same reaction I feigned Being a mutant or Xenos is HERECY right? Or did I miss a memo?

Servant of Dante Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 You know, I didn't even notice. My spelling skills stink. I'll leave my error so others may behold my shame. I knew I should have typed that in lowercase first. *Furyou Miko 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackarmor_redtruth Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The mouth is fine, adds to the variety out there. I think she could use about 6-8 years of combat experience though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitsHammer Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Every hospitaller started somewhere, without a single shred of battle experience. (The fights for the last cookie don't count.) Indeed. I have a feeling that their rather kind personalities and unending faith in the Emperor likely net them their jobs anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Heh. I always imagined Hospitallers as being more like actual MMO healers than stereotype 'I just want to help everyone' types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) "EMPERORDAMNIT LEEREYNE JENKINETTE I TOLD YOU NOT TO CHARGE AHEAD OH FOR DOMNICA'S SAKE" Except that chick in the Miriya books with the Yui-Gi-Oh name like Serenity or Verity who stops counting how many times she gave the Emperor's mercy because that makes her feel depressed. Pansy. Miriya may be the maverick who's on every space wolf's locker poster, but at least she gets that sisters are supposed to be so brutal no heavy metal does them justice.

BitsHammer Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Yeah, Verity was a pansy. I mean Hospitalliers are the best healers and the best torturers. You can't master the second if you're a figgin marshmallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 What do you expect from a character whose only purpose was to be a love interest in a black library novel? Miriya's whole maverick thing really ticked me off though. How the hell did she make it to the rank of Celestian with such half-arsed and hair-brained plans?

Because at best it seemed like they were just in a kind of sibling relationship instead a possible lesbian romance. And Miriya needed a lot of refinement. I'm not sure why some writers feel the need to make their protag a loose cannon renegade cop stereotype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 They end the book holding hands staring into space on their way to face a new mission together, Verity having given up all of her prestige and reputation to stay with Miriya. It was blatantly obvious fanservice, and I hated it. Miriya was... ugh. You just don't get to be a high-ranking battle sister by being a loose cannon renegade cop stereotype. You get sent to the Repentia. You certainly don't get given your choice of highly prestigious missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get sent to the Repentia. You certainly don't get given your choice of highly prestigious missions. True. My rejected short for BL had lesbian back story but that was a drunken fling with a noble's wife that got the protag stuck in a dead end job while everyone else is promoted or transfered off planet leaving her as the last Arbite on that world. Her wrecklessness was punished, not rewarded and it established her as someone human by showing a crippling flaw she fought against. You can make people who follow the rules be interesting protags just by making them flawed and putting them through hell. At least that's my take. And no, I didn't tell BL that the Arbite in the story was guilty of adultery. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitsHammer Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Lesbians can serve a story just fine (in my case I was using it as method of adding a Great Shame to the character that was also to be used as a major temptation from the Slaanesh Psyker) but yes, generally it's done for shameless pandering and fanservice and not to actually serve the story in anyway.

Teetengee Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 There is something about her hip and the detail level difference between her face and the rest of the picture I find deeply disturbing. *Furyou Miko 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
