Enjoy!

[Noctus Cornix]

Beautiful as ever, my man. Your work is always absolutely stunning.

[Son of Carnelian]

I love seeing a skeletal vision of Mortarion. Let all the other primarchs beef it out. Another wonderful work of art. 

[deathspectersgt7]

Straight UP!! love this version of Morty.

[Greyall]

Glorious, man...So perfectly captured it hurts...

[SteelPaladin]

While I do love the FW version of Morty, this is much closer to how I always imagined the Death Lord. The gaunt face is just perfect. 

[reckoning]

His vials of toxins look like Christmas ornaments.

 

But seriously this vision of Morty is flawless. Love it.

[Colrouphobic]

Christmas balls of doom!

 

Seriously though, I first painted a large number of differently shaped vials, but it just looked off... os I went for balls... and then, a skull on his hip and a cencer that is round didnt help :p

 

Glad you guys like!

[Half Goat]

The best rendition i have seen so far IMO, nice work!

[Ecritter]

Outstanding yet again.

[Firepower]

For some reason, he reminds me of Bill Nighy. And while I can't say why exactly, that just fits so well

Solid work.

Edit- Ahh, I think I got it. Google Bill Nighy, Underworld, and tell me that you don't see a similarity!

[Olis]

Very nice work indeed. A fitting depiction of Mortarion, I think. :tu:

Definitely. Either that, or zombie Bill Nighy from Shaun of the Dead.

Its those dead, cloudy eyes.

The long nose and thin lips too, I think. Add sunken eye makeup and blamo, Mortarion...apparently :lol:

Whereas I can appreciate the similarities, I mainly used photos of holocaust concentration camp inmates, cancer patients and 3d models of muscles of the skull to get to the face.

Sometimes when one paints, themmind fills in the gaps and it turns it into looking like something you did not intend...

All I can say is your work is flawless... beautiful and yet hauntingly evil - it has a surprisingly tragic feel to it as well.

Well that's...um...morbid

I'll just keep seeing Slartibartfast if it's all the same to you :lol:

[Uprising]

Best version of any primarch artwork I have ever seen, ever, of all time.

Absolutely!

Better :)

[Inquisitor Kravin]

To say it is the best picture I have seen of any primarch would sound like hyperbole, but right now I can't think of anything that could beat it.

You've balanced so many things so well. He looks sick but not weak with sickness. Instead he has the strength of someone who has endured suffering. He looks troubled and potentially villainous but also potentially a flawed hero.

 

Love it!

[Commander_Moustache]

If I played Death guard, I would have this as my desktop background.

[ninjasuperspy]

Whoa that's incredible. Everything looks amazing from his cloudy eyes to his pallor but the barely-visible skulls in the backpack exhaust are blowing my mind. Excellent work.

[exetus]

Thas jus ded sexah!
