What strikes me the most here, is the composition and the respect of the original descriptions.First the composition, with the right and left (of the Emperor) symbolism, as well as up (aquila) and down (eye of Horus), the symetric pairing of the primarchs as antagonists etc...It really comes up as a "cosmic" and symbolic vision, yet grim, stern, dark, as it should be with Warhammer 30k and 40k.Then the respect of the decriptions : I sure enjoy fantasy in the fan arts, but I sometimes wonder how the hell do some artists understand words such as "patrician" "savage" "perfect" "beautiful" (even, and specially, official Games Workshop artists, seriously, when you see Fulgrim's face on every single piece of official art, you wonder where they grabbed their sense of aesthetical perfection from). Here all the descriptions are matched, and the artist didn't fall for the opposite trap : seing only the specificities of the characters, and forgeting that they are all embodyments of the ultimate warrior AND brethren, therefore they should have strong features AND somehow a familiar look.That's why I call it the best and truest portraits collection of the primarchs and the Emperor so far. (I sure absolutely love other illustrations, because they speak to my own fantasies, but this is absolutely true to the fluff) )
