I was there, the day that

Horus

killed the Emperor."

Happy Tuesday, folks!After a brief venture outside of the grim darkness of the far future with yesterday's warm-up, we're back into the fray. Maybe not as wholly as I did last week, but certainly the Dark Millenium will be a subject I'll tackle very often until I'm done with commissions and so forth.This time around we go beyond the 41st Millenium back to a time when the Imperium meant something else entirely. Back to the time when the greatest rule of mankind began and many legends were born:. Amidst said legends of the 31st millenium and the Great Crusade,, Captain of the Luna Wolves' 10th Company and later member of Horus' personal council The Mournival, stands proud. Thus, when I was given a chance to draw him again, I couldn't pass it up.The one thing I've found in this (even) more cartoony style I'm practicing lately is that it lends perfectly to depict Warhammer 40,000; being a game that utilizes the "heroic scale" for its miniatures, exaggeration is key and it brings these images closer to the core of Games-Workshop's creations better, in my opinion.This piece depicts Captain Loken during the opening scene in the first Horus Heresy series,by, possibly one of the best battle narrations I've read. Thus, i wanted to make this piece as dynamic as possible within the context of a superhuman, power-armoured warriorAs usual, I hope you approve and see you tomorrow!Nic.-
