ChromeZephyr Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks a lot, guys. Pretty happy with this guy too. @Fire: There are a few more targets for criticism, eheh. Especially the revolver, it's not that well drawn. Strange, I thought someone would mention she's too small in comparison to the Marine. I like the idea of gigantic humans, it must be hard for the regular folk's eyes and brain to process superfast movement in such a large "beast". And that's just awesome. Awww, it's no fun when you point out what i was gonna say before I say it. ;) Though the only part of it I think is poorly done is the ammunition cylinder and lack of barrel definition along the bottom, everything else says "I'm a revolver." to me. Only other thing that throws me is the bolt pistol. Seems just a little out of scale compared to rest of the Marine, even with GW's "heroic scale" weaponry taken into account. It's not hideous, but my eye "catches" on it every time I look at it. And the size disparity doesn't seem strange to me. Unless she's described as an Amazon, an average height human female would be about that big compared to an older Space Marine. Another fantastic work, Greyall. You never fail to impress.

Greyall Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Glad you liked them, Doc Oct. I have the same feeling about the hat, actually. Don't actually remember how it was on that miniature you linked, but she'd look more Russian/pope/English guard and less nurse with sides on the hat, I think. @Zephyr: Many thanks. I tried to adapt the revolver, turning the ammo cylinder into something else, but for some stupid reason I ended up forgetting it...dumb me. That's not a bolt pistol, it's a regular bolter. Actually, it's not a regular bolter either, I was aiming for a submachinegun-scale bolter, a little more stocky and short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekim_Trub Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Give that Stone Heart a Warhammer and we'd have Robert Baratheon in space. Love your work- it's phenomenal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more Russian/English guard. But hey, it's still getting framed and hung on my wall when I move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I like it. The detail in this one is superb. I've always fancied knot work, and antlers on a helm is just bad ass. Nice work Greyall you aimed true on this one, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Many gracias, mates. Yay, I'm getting wall-space =) @Trub: I knew the helm reminded me of a character, in the end. Awesomely noted, a pity we never get to see the fat king's armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Holy cheese balls, those Stone Hearts are awesome. Hats off to you sir, stunning details on a very interesting piece of art. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks, mate. Capital credit to Count Octav (your nick has such potential), as well, his concept and ideas fuelled the drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekim_Trub Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Now there would be an interesting project- Astartes armour based on the great houses of Westeros. I would love a Game of Thrones prequel- just to see Robert and Ned in their prime, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Brutus- Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Epic thread! I see your stuff over at DeviantArt as well =) How do you do your linework btw? I assume you are using a tablet... But how do you get the lines so straight well defined? Whenever I drav something It's more like scetching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 No tablet, mate, I use a simple mechanical pencil, and then apply a little darkening to the lines on the most basic of office programs =) With some of the longer straight lines I use a book or another straight "aid". I know it's not what "real artists" do but I do have a hard time with keeping lines levelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Cirrius Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Ive been lurking here a while now and this most recent piece of art is just one of those ones that i love to go back to and look at over and over. Your other works are incredible, but this one just stands out to me for some reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 The Stone Hearts drawing is just one of those pieces in which I've managed to make my Marines look solid, plausible. I still have a bit of a hard time getting them on realistic poses and stuff, and this one just makes it look like there's someone filling that armour, methinks. So I fully agree with you, mate. Thanks a bunch. Taking a smaaaaaalish break from drawing to complete the DoW2 campaign, should return to it tonight. Sorry, Thirst. The drawing makes up for the delay, though, if I may say so. Quite proud of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'm not your employer, so no deadlines, and DOW 1 and 2 are both amazing, so completely understood. Meanwhile, I even get a drawing from an artist of your caliber in the first place. Tell me why you're apologizing again? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus25 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 DOW2 is a great game. I liked Chaos rising more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 True, Nexus. But I do miss the "bolter & chainsword" vibe of the first missions =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus25 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I love making them all Termies and eating faces in the story. For some real fun in DOW2 look up the wargear mod. So many fun things that were not suppose to make it into the actual gme but still in wargear code file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowstalker Grim Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 You know what, after a short hiatus I know I can always rest happy knowing that more awesome work will continue to appear in this thread. It always makes my day. Hats off to your latest pieces Greyall, thoroughly amazing! (As per always) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Ladies and gents, our venerable Apostle Thirst's creation...the Angels of Adamantium, represented by Captain Elsike: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/133/0/0/angels_of_adamantium_by_greyall-d656din.jpg Soaking Imperial pantaloons since M35. I know you really wanted that Chaplain in the back, Thirst, but I just reached my limit, man. The Guardsmen were furiously done in a few hours because I just collapsed after finishing Elsike. Do hope you like it as much as I do, pretty happy with the armour. Cheers, all, thanks in advance. Heraldries for the honourable mentions are next. I'll send personal messages, stay sharp.

Aqui Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 If that doesn't make DAT turn Loyalist, I don't know what will! :lol: And of a sudden, I feel much excitement. Thanks again Greyall. I know whatever you come up with for me will be even better than anything I can think of ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messor Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Great work, I also really like that armor, and I can pretty clearly imagine that those guardsmen have soaked their pantaloons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malatox Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 This thread is one of the reasons I love Bolter and Chainsword!Absolutely amazing stuff, I don't know anyone who wouldn't love you to do a piece for them haha.- Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 There is pretty much nothing I can say that could represent how utterly perfect this is. That face... That glaive... That face...That spear... That face...Those Guardsmen... That face... I could ask for nothing more. Thank you, well and truly EDIT: coding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
