Colrouphobic Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 So I held a competition on my blog and company FB-pagethe past two weeks, showcasing a piece of art that had puzzle-pieces being revealed every day. Here is where I display the final artwork: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/303/7/5/conrad_curze___night_haunter_by_1mpact-d6sd5yx.jpg Studiocolrouphobia.net Studio Colrouphobia also has a twitter account: https://twitter.com/Colrouphobia Studio Colrouphobia also has a Facebook-page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Studio-Colrouphobia-Concepts-and-Illustrations/20588351315 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282633-a-little-curze-on-all-hallows-eve-artwork/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 His face is perhabs a bit too smug, something that would go better for Fulgrim. But its a masterpiece non the less.

Firepower Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Lovely work, but I do feel he's lacking the look of an unhinged psychopath. Not that he should be frothing at the mouth 24/7 or anything, but he looks very....serene. The feather does hint at the Haunter's sadistic edge, but if a viewer didn't know the reference of the feather they would be rather lost, I think. Anyway, still, lovely work. I only wish I had that level of talent Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282633-a-little-curze-on-all-hallows-eve-artwork/#findComment-3509383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colrouphobic Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks :) Firepower- I do not believe in talent, I believe in hard work. I spent the past 10 years painting (and often less then I wanted to) and I still need to improve...

Olis Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks Firepower- I do not believe in talent, I believe in hard work. I spent the past 10 years painting (and often less then I wanted to) and I still need to improve... Ah well, it's all a matter of perspective, isn't it? For those of us who are not artists, this genuinely looks impressive. For yourself, having been doing this sort of thing for a while (and the fact that it's your own work), it's much easier to find flaws. That said, the drive to improve is a good indication of your outlook - you are a good artist without illusions of grandeur. I look forward to more of your work in the future. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282633-a-little-curze-on-all-hallows-eve-artwork/#findComment-3509440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Like I've said many times before, this is an absolutely stunning piece,man. The composition is stellar, the detail is excellent and placed in key points that make them pop. And God do I love that wicked smirk on Curze's face.

chaplainmikey Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I absolutely love it, by far and away my favourite rendition of the Night Haunter!

The_Chaplain Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Lovely work, but I do feel he's lacking the look of an unhinged psychopath Ah, but that's the wonderful part of psychopathy, they can have periods inbetween psychotic urgings to kill with utmost calm and "normalcy" to the outside viewer; but it's merely the eye of the storm. Noone would've suspected half of the world's most infamous serial killers of being psychos, and you know why? They looked and acted like everyone else. Excellent piece Colrouphobic!

Nemisor Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 man that is some beautifull work. the face reminds me alot of Dave Mustane from Megadeth. he has that " i could go full nutbar at any minute" look to him Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282633-a-little-curze-on-all-hallows-eve-artwork/#findComment-3509826 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent the past 10 years painting (and often less then I wanted to) and I still need to improve... I'd argue that there are both :P But talent can only go so far without mind numbing amounts of practice, as in all things. For instance, I have talent, but I'm a lazy :cuss , so I can't do this :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282633-a-little-curze-on-all-hallows-eve-artwork/#findComment-3509969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I think it's a brilliant piece of work and I'd have to agree with T_C. Frothing at the mouth lunatics are scary, but are almost a known quantity. The quiet, composed killer should be the one that really worries you. <looks over at ForgeWorld> Dudes! Top this, I dare you! * The one thing that I haven't figured out is his eyes. The left one tracks me when I move my point of perspective, but the right eye...I'm not entirely sure what it is doing.

Yeah, the eyes are almost pure black, but when I added the ligh-bounce from the lightning on the left eye it almost looks like he is looking in a crtain direction... one of them imperfections that I can see in my own work :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282633-a-little-curze-on-all-hallows-eve-artwork/#findComment-3510283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 That is sick. If you're taking requests, I'd love to see a Fulgrim done post Isstvan V.

The_son_of_Dorn Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I like his facial expression, it's like the only time he lookes hinged is ironically when hes thinking about the pain and destrctuion hes wrought upon his brothers, sort of liek a 'hmmm coraxs feather :D, god it was fun murdering my brothers sons' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282633-a-little-curze-on-all-hallows-eve-artwork/#findComment-3510340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Yeah, the eyes are almost pure black, but when I added the light-bounce from the lightning on the left eye it almost looks like he is looking in a certain direction... one of them imperfections that I can see in my own work :/ Well, that makes a lot of sense. I know that you're not supposed to have to "explain" art, just experience it, but that is helpful and I do see the blackness you are referring to now and it is logical that the other eye remains dark. I suppose "art critics" can debate whether additional light points should have been used to emphasize the effect (e.g. nose line, cheek bone, armor), but that might have ruined the balance of the key feature, i.e. the face, so I'll leave that useless activity to others*. I remain extremely impressed. * I am sure there are very valuable art criticisms out there. I just haven't come across any yet. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282633-a-little-curze-on-all-hallows-eve-artwork/#findComment-3510587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

death given form Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I get kind of a Richard Roxburgh as Count Dracula (from the 2004 movie Van Helsing) vibe from the face. I like this version of the Haunter. It's a refreshing look at a madman. The jump pack is also a sweet little touch; the fire-eyed skulls on the sides are very creative.
