CaptainStabby Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Great piece, my only observation is that the marine isn't looking at his opponent. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315555-gw-test-art/#findComment-4213624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315555-gw-test-art/#findComment-4213665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Great job Rob. What app did you create that in? I have to be honest, I love that the marine can't wound him with a Gravpistol (wounding on 6's) and has to resort to a good ol' fist. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315555-gw-test-art/#findComment-4214378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The marine has little sense of motion the ork is great the ultramarine just looks like a GW power fist sgt mini. Other then that it's great the colouring is perfect. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315555-gw-test-art/#findComment-4214960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Rob Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks for the kind words guys, definitely going to do more warhammer paintings, its so exciting painting things ive seen in my imagination while working on my armies, if you have an inclination for painting 2d stuff you should definitely give it a whirlwind! I thought about the eye line and design of the marine as well, keeping a literal adherence to the brief made it complicated. It all came together in a way i was satisfied with, like kastor kreig mentioned the marines head position works in context. Ironically the Ultramarine's pose harmonizes for me, their concept being the most "practical" of the marine chapters. @ prot i did the image in Photoshop, also; love how clean and crisp your armies look.

Vash113 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Very nice, would be awesome to see more 40k artwork from you, I hope you hear back from GW! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/315555-gw-test-art/#findComment-4217503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 While the piece is very nice, I agree with CaptainStabby. It feels off because he's looking away from the ork that's charging him down. My only other critique is that the marine is bringing his fist back to punch in a stance that implies that he's been stood still, so when this combines with the helmet position, it gives him an odd dynamic.

BassWave Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I particularly like the battle scene. The tone reminds me of the older 40k art. It's a shame you haven't heard from them considering your work definitely fits the setting better than the more cartoonish art GW has been using in their most recent books.
