Firepower Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Am I the only one who thinks the guardsman on the right looks like he should be in a Speed Racer episode, with the way his mouth looks?'OhthemarineisveryshinyandmagnificentIcannotwaittoseehimkillthefoulxenosforthatiswhattheydoandthatiswhatIshouldbedoingbuttheydoitbetterandIwishtoseethatmyself OHHHHH!!!'Goofy guardsman aside, the only thing bugging me is his wings. Something is wrong with the edges around the outline, the way it is defined 3 Dimensionally, but I can't quite put my finger on it...Also, why is his loin cloth moving forward? I think you may be getting a bit too liberal with those. Oh well. Another beauty, and DAT seems happy enough. Not one of your best in my opinion though.

Greyall Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Really? I do think it's one of my best, that armour took an insane amount of patience and concentration, both of which I lack... Aye, issues with perspective abound, but apart from the filigree on the vambraces looking strange, none bother me too much. Thanks, everyone. So glad you like it, Thirst =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus25 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Holy Bling-tacular Batman!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the detail in the armor. My only crit is the knee pad armor. I would have liked to see it angled from the middle out rather than flat. But what do I know. I have no artistic ablity so I live vicariously through those that do.

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 No, like the armor was amazing. It, and the face - especially the face, hence my emphasis - seemed to just fit in my mind of the Angels and Elsike. I don't think in pictures, with the mind's eye and all that. I think in more abstract form, ideas being the basis for everything else. When I saw the picture, and Elsike's expression - one of serene superiority - it just went perfectly with how I imagined the Angels of Adamantium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I love the Angel of Adamantine guy. pure win in my books. Like DAT said.. The face. So angelic, yet he's a stone cold killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 A cartwheel full of sorries, guys, thank you very much for the kind words. I'm currently working on DK2000's heraldry. But I'm learning how to draw on a tablet, so it may take a littlish. After that I'll (re)do a practice marine and then return to the other heraldries. Cheers, everyone, thank you so much, once again.

Greyall Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hey, everyone. Let's skip the part where I feel like xenos dung for taking this long to post. Anyway, remember Mazad Vur'me, the Salamanders Librarian? http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/257/f/e/mazad_vur__me_by_greyall-d5epal7.jpg Nice concept, but one of my weakest drawings. This shall not stand... http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/168/1/2/vur_me_reborn_by_greyall-d69ias6.jpg Now, for all those due a Chapter Symbol...it's already being taken care of, muchos sorries for the delay. Hope you like Vur'me's new look, mates. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Much better :) Line art fire and tedious levels of fine detail scales earns you good points. The awkward crotch-dragon knocks a few off, though. The bottom right of the scale-hide-robe thing is messing with my eyes. It seems impossible the way it is drawn, while the flowing scriptures and what appears to be a fire on his foot make the shape even harder to really wrap my head around.

fivepointedstar Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Awe yeah buddy!! I love the look of this guy. The flames, the scales, and the flames... But i'm a sucker for dragon-like asartes. ( I imagine this guy with red, and black armor thou) But I've alway's liked your reptile themed marines since I saw your Devourers. Keep up the awesome work Greyall.

"Awkward crotch-dragon"...straight to the sig, mate =) The flames on his feet are armour deco, not "real" flames. His left leg is almost stretched to the back. As for the flow of kilts and scriptures, I take almost full liberties with that. I [usually] draw miniatures, not scenes, so I think in terms of "visual marketing". There are certain poses, details and "physics" that are more appealing to the eye, and I try to employ them as much as I can without sacrificing realism. Stretched mantles and capes, flowing scrolls, etc. Sometimes I think about this straightforwardness of yours, Fire, and I've reached a verdict: it's public service, what you do, mate. Thank you.

Kol Saresk Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 It is a good remake. One point of note. It might be due to lack of usage concerning axes on my part, but doesn't it so close to the head end up sacrificing force for control? I mean, if I remember a project I did on them, they were made to sort of swing on their own so it just seems to me that if he were weilding two axes, he would just hold them closer to the bottom of the hadt to make it easier on himself and let the axes do what they were made to do. Not a biggie, just a personal curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Aye, but I dislike seeing the grip too close to the bottom, it doesn't convey the same sense of strength. Also, a higher grip means less innertia on the axe head and thus, more mobility/quicker and more controlled strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The dragon on the chest plate has to be my favorite detail, very clever, man. All and all, I like him. He's quite a badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Many thanks, mate. I was about to start on your heraldry, having finished DK2000's (should be up later tonight).
