Colrouphobic Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi, So I have been away for a while. I have been dealing with a eavy project that requires alot of attention, and which has nothing to do with Warhammer/Wh40k unfortunately. However, as always happen when a larger project goes on, I tend to doodle. I doodled the following brief for myself: Name: Jouko Jotunbane Pack-type: The Old Berzerk Weaponry: Chain axe, chain-fed one-handed bolter, Stormshield Heraldry: Yellow and Black fields, 3 x Fire-eye (SW gem) I got inspired and doodled down five more, but the above is the only one I started doing some actual doodling on in the form of an image. Tis is very much a work in progress, I have spent maybe 5 hrs in total on it, on and off inbetween actual work. But It has been a while since I shared anything on B&C so why not share this: http://studiocolrouphobia.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/previewjouko.jpg?w=718 We'll see if I ever get this one done, It's basically just doodling to relax from work and refill the creative flow. This is also a good way to exercise to paint things from my mind. So the only thing I used a reference for in this image is the ear (hate ears). I am aware of the suit being too dark. I am going for a colour that is closer to the HEresy era, but I am also painting from dark to light. If it works out fine, I might also paint the other packmembers: Name: Hagal Segilson Pack-type: Pack Leader Weaponry: Heraldry: White Hraethigaldur Rune on Pale Blue Field Name: Surt Pack-type: "The Muscles" Weaponry: Power-warhammer, Stormshield, Bolt Pistol Heraldry: Red Cross of Odin on Black Field, Red Cross of Odin Name: Aegir Krakenfire Pack-type: "The Cleansing Fire" Weaponry: Flamer, Bolt Pistol, Stormshield Heraldry: Black Triskal on Pale Blue Field, Black Triskal Name: Hrolf Left-Hand Pack-type: "The Joker" Weaponry: Melta-gun, Combat Knife, Stormshield, Lefthanded SW; weapons mounted/held in oposite hands in comparison to the rest of the Pack. Heraldry: Black Cross of Odin on Red Field, Black Cross of Odin Name: Frosti Thursvig Pack-type: "The New Berzerk" Weaponry: Chain axe, Bolt Pistol, small Power Axe, Stormshield Heraldry: Black Wolf's Hook on Yellow Field, Black Wolf's Hook It's a pack of Grey Hunters..

Colrouphobic Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 You do? Would be interesting to know, did I paint a frend of yours or sopmething? Concidering is completel from my mind (apart from ear...) edit: Might have to do with me watching Vikings a lot lately. I do not think anyone in the series look like this though, but I think the general feel comes through.... /edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 This is awesome. You basically created the mental picture (x1000 degrees of awesome-ness) that got me into 40k and Space Wolves back in '98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabbas Sogalon Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Your definition of doodling is very different from mine. Love the face and hope you do the rest as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Dang, that's awesome. He looks a bit like Ragnar from the Vikings tv show. Very cool, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colrouphobic Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Your definition of doodling is very different from mine. Love the face and hope you do the rest as well. Cheers, We'll see. Right now I doodle on it anytime I fel I need a break. I guess my kind of doodling is different since I worked as an illustrator for more then ten years. I did not intend to put anyone down :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannicide Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Is it bad that my mouth is dry and my palms are sweaty? Stunning visuals, as always, Colrouphobic. You really know how to bring characters to life. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It Looks like an older version of a Biker buddy of mine if he was still alive just plain weird man . But anyway Can't wait to see the rest of the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Brutus- Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Your "doodling" is magnificient! Teeeeeeaaach me ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trysanna Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Well done! Really like the face, and the armour looks fantastic. One criticism tho. The shield looks like it's mounted on his elbow, not the forearm. Keep it up, can't wait to see more! -Tarvik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Very nice. I like how you have characterized his face and the tat was a nice touch. On the shield, I agree that it shouldn't look like it's pinned to the elbow. I really like the initial color palette and am interested in seeing how you add depth to the grey. I have a challenge for you, which you are free to accept or decline. In Abnett's "Prospero Burns", he describes how the Rout sometimes wear a leather worked face mask. It appears that the mask can embody different designs (from antlers to dragons). The leather can be in any color. It can have intricate knot work in it. The wearer's eyes are exposed, but it's not clear if it covers the entire head or is just a facial mask. In other words, it seems like a very intriguing concept. I am very curious to see what you might visualize. <cue Mission Impossible theme> Your mission Mr. Colrouphobic, should you decide to accept, is to integrate this new item with one of the pack... duh, duh, da, duh duh...

Colrouphobic Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 This is awesome. You basically created the mental picture (x1000 degrees of awesome-ness) that got me into 40k and Space Wolves back in '98. Hah, well, hopefully it inspires! Dang, that's awesome. He looks a bit like Ragnar from the Vikings tv show. Very cool, dude. Yeah, it's not supposed to look like him, but as mentioned, season 2 is on and so might come across in these.. Pure awesomeness. Glad to see your work on here again. Thanks, I feel like I have neglected some B&C stuff.. Deadlines are harsh.. Is it bad that my mouth is dry and my palms are sweaty? Stunning visuals, as always, Colrouphobic. You really know how to bring characters to life. Depends, are you going to lay hands on me? Otherwis its all ok! Cheers! It Looks like an older version of a Biker buddy of mine if he was still alive just plain weird man . But anyway Can't wait to see the rest of the pack. Well, hopefully it is feeling a little honorary then. Funny how it's a Biker buddy of yours though. I had two things in my head (and ears, listening to soundtracks as I paint): Vikings and Sons of Anarchy... Your "doodling" is magnificient! Teeeeeeaaach me What would you like to know? On my webpage/Blog there are some tutorial posts - www.studiocolrouphobia.net You can also check our FB page out for updates of the blog (sporadic right now) https://www.facebook.com/StudioColrouphobia Not much of teachings there, but if you have anyting specific I might look into it (once the harsh deadlines end). Well done! Really like the face, and the armour looks fantastic. One criticism tho. The shield looks like it's mounted on his elbow, not the forearm. Keep it up, can't wait to see more! -Tarvik Yeah, it's the size of it rather then the positioning, but will keep it in mind :) These are going to be Heresy-era characters...

Colrouphobic Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Another 15 minutes. http://studiocolrouphobia.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/previewjouko2.jpg Kneepads are very close to what I want, colourwise. Pauldrons have some bits to go. Pelt is an indication to the pelt he will have over his backpack. Chestpiece will most likely change alot, but I like the general idea of an assymetrical narrative (Wolf eating a star/sun) so I think I'm going to keep that for this character...

Russ Brother 92 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 They look amazing and the smirk on Hrolf's face is pure class, like he laughs at whatever the foe sends to him... A true space wolf :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-eye Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 They both look amazing and are really inspiring : I mean I really want to grab mkII armour to convert them :) One little place for improvement imho is the proportions of the legs, which seem a bit long compared to the rest of the body (torso + head). Not that a space-marine has the same proportions as a normal human, but anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colrouphobic Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 One-eye. I will keep it in mind, though I think the confusing part is that you cannot see their cotch, and that the armour of the legs go up on the hip right now... To create some anticipation, next up will be Hagal... BTW, these are all WIP's, they wi be rendered into completion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colrouphobic Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hagal, the PAck's leader/ As before, the image is not done, but gives a good indication of where I want to go with it. http://studiocolrouphobia.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/hagalpreview.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
