(And because I actually really like my line work for once, going to submit it as a separate image. You can see the inked one over at Underdog - Lines Gift art forfor his birthday of his persona fighting Abaddon The Despoiler from Warhammer 40k. Normally I ask him what he likes and tell him to give me three suggestions. His first one is always too hard, and a troll idea. He assumes I'll never do them, but surprised him by doing this bloody nightmare-worth of effort. Kind of regretting it... because Warhammer is pure boy stuff, and is very hard to draw and ink, and is over detailed. It also comes in over-saturated color schemes, so... then there was that.Warhammer is not my thing. But feeling sort of stupidly over confident over a recent style advance in another image, I figure I might have been able to do this one sort of okay. Marc's face and hair is too anime-ish... Dang it. It took me something like a month to get my brain into order to even sketch this because I class this style more in hard American land, which is one of those weak points I need to get over. And took this image to basically help to try and advance that a little. This is one of my to-do improvements, so wanted to give it my all. The actual image is some 1gb 7000x5000 pixel monstrosity, that I made that stupidly large so I could digitally ink this perfectly. Inking this thing took 20 hours. 20! I feel like the coloring the characters ruined it. At least they are cohesive. Black and gold, with the bad guy in more black (and he totally looks like a flamboyant corsair at this point), and pretty-boy hero in the "Golden Ones" armor, since custom set colors was so much better than the Ultramarine... well, ultramarine color. Irony, it's the same thing. (And anyone who knows Marc and me, yes, that armor does actually have little Mewblades on it. Teehee!)Pose was a horrid weak point. Problem with this is that I am almost certain Abaddon is capable of duel wielding, so he's going to be in motion, either slicing, blocking, stabbing or shooting. Because of that it meant a block pose with an attack pose, on the same character. Kill me. It doesn't look as intense as I'd like but couldn't do much with thatDrach'nyen looks freaky as heck thankfully. Masterlus (Marc's sword) is well, not possessed, so hence normal sword. Whoever designed these bad guys in this game... like, teenager boys. Skulls everywhere! Still not the image with the most skulls in it from me oddly enough.Some points I'm not happy with. BG is good and well, it looks sort of like Warhammer... I hope.And Abaddon looks like a pony.Photoshop CS4(Lines below)
