Marshal Draziel Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Through the last couple of months, I've been keen on making an art piece featuring Blood Angels - as some of you might have noticed in the BA forum. This is a more complicated piece - and i am very proud to introduce it to you: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/Draziel_87/My%20drawings/BloodBrothers2.jpg One could say, that I did it as a request - though the recipient might not really remember his request ;-) It took roughly two days - though I had some trouble as my pc crashed at a point, erasing my progress. This is the final product - I think ^_^ C & C are most velcome ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84952-blood-brothers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelos Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Cool, the head on the marine with wings, Sanguine I assume, seems to have no neck or rhe's scared of what hes looking at, may want to change the armour color to a bone or brighter color, but other wise ^_^ ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84952-blood-brothers/#findComment-982306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringwraith Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'd recommend sharpening the wings, i know they're a pain to do but the blurriness doesnt help the picture. Also think about doing something with the fire as it is pretty unrealistic right now, add some smoke trailing away from it or something to ground it more in reality. I know it's a BA piece but all that red is overkill (too saturated and all the same value really) , i know it's probably to centralise Sanguinius but maybe add some contrasting or complementary colours. This is nit picking but the flame on the sword doesnt match the direction of the bg flames, i bet this is probably to suggest movement but he appears pretty rigid. Also i cant see the sword handle and the angle of the sword suggests that it should be visible. well you di ask for crits ;) Dont worry, this is piece is definately something to be proud of, just remember that it's easier to crit than produce something like that. PS Feel free to PM if you want any more crits or help. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84952-blood-brothers/#findComment-982316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Nice work! Can you make the blade of the sword longer and a bit wider? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84952-blood-brothers/#findComment-982317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringwraith Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Nice work! Can you make the blade of the sword longer and a bit wider? I find the length and width right, its just the guard (at least i think that's what the section where blade and hilt meet is called) is very large compared to the size of the blade and hilt Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84952-blood-brothers/#findComment-982325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Draziel Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 well - yes I did ask for critics :blush: silly me Well - the pic is pretty "done" by now - I could try and revamp it in the future - but I don't think its gonna happen anytime soon :unsure: The sword hilt, is my own creation - I tried to not steal the BL idea totally - so I made that one up myself... I know, it might seem a little big... The problem with the neck and the flames: Sanguinius, is supposed to look like he is moving - I know It might not really look like it - since his armour is not blurred - but his wings are - I tried to make the tiger pelt, his hair and the firesword suggest movement. His head is twisted, firstly, he is leaning forward, whilst preparing to strike (at what, I have no idea) And his chin guard is high sooo ... well, that my idea anyway :blush: thanks for the comments guys Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84952-blood-brothers/#findComment-982326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringwraith Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 yeah, the pose does sort of suggest that, problem is the marines in front of him kind of put it out of context Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84952-blood-brothers/#findComment-982328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Draziel Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 oh my - I just realized that we cannot really focus on the small details on the armour! here you go... :unsure: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/Drazi.../Sanguinius.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84952-blood-brothers/#findComment-982341 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinius Chosen Wing Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Gets better everytime see it Draziel, it really captures that Sangunius was a warrior not the sissy in the Horus Heresy books ;) i cant wait for more mate Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84952-blood-brothers/#findComment-983628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gordofski Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Why is the Blood Angel to the immediate left's face on fire? And what is that blurry mass just to the right of him... sanguinius' right leg? not bad.

der_Kommissar Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 *Pretty* I have a couple reccomendations to blend stuff in. The blood angel on the far left does look like his face is on fire. You can probably run the blur/clone stamp tools around the edge of his head and fix that real easy. You also micht want to blur his hair a little so it blends in with the feel of the rest of the pic. Overall though a very impressive little pic. Must've taken you a long time. (My photoshoppery endeavors usually run at least ten hours for a single pic no way this detailed...)

Marshal Draziel Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Why is the Blood Angel to the immediate left's face on fire?Well - I suppose, its the front, and people die at the front :) And what is that blurry mass just to the right of him... sanguinius' right leg? It was supposed to look like golden chainmail - though I guess that didn't really work... thanks for the comments guys :ph34r: (I'll try and fix small problems in it soon) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84952-blood-brothers/#findComment-985110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
