Artist's Comments

Since moving into my new house I've been re-introduced to the world of Warhammer (and WH 40000), and I've been thinking 'space marines... now, they're *much* cooler than I remember them being'. Which gave rise to this essentially. It's based loosely on a rather shiny inquisitor model which I used copiously for reference. I *think* this counts as fan art. Oh well, it's here anyway.
I'm going to be interested to see how many people who watch me know (or should I say care XD) what this is.

:D Awsome! Glad you recognise ^_~ Actually, space marines pretty much look like this now. They've got a lot more gothic and baroque. I was quite surprised! Thanks for the comment ^____^

Ah, Warhammer. So many wasted childhood years on lead and plastic. Paints were good though, still use those now and then.

Very nice image though, especially the eye visor motion blurs. I never imagined they actually did that but it works in a creepy terminator Jin Roh kinda way. You've also managed to draw one of the damn things in motion which, when you consider the bulky and impossible design of them is actually pretty impressive.

I know what is! I used to collect Warhammer when I was 13! ^_^ I prefered the fantasy stuff to the Sci fi XD
Lovely work, all that detail works really well, and the colouring is excellent ^_^

Yeah, those paints do rock :D I can't believe I spent so much money on those things though! They were a regular pocket money pit ><

weird you said that, I realised the same thing about half an hour ago XD You're the first person to notice too! I'm still working on a background for this piece, so I'll add it as I add the background :)

:D :D Awsome, glad I could inspire! ^__^ I think I went about drawing it exactly as I go about painting a miniature, in really crazy detail, but making *very* slow progress across the drawing. It helped to draw out the armour plain first and then light box a second detailed version over the top so the detail didn't distract me from the overall form.
