Description
Holy SHIT, this took me like ages, okay probably not that long but it felt like it
First things first:
pose came from Great stock images go check them out if you want to draw something
all textures come from cgtextures.com, all of them are heavily overpainted
Big probs go to who gave me crutial critique and advice on how to fix some problams i had early in the development of the drawing, check him out, he deserves it !
Edit: because this has to be here !
A big thanks goes out to who took the time and wrote an awesome critique for me, thanks a lot ! And to anyone reading this, check his gallery out if you like my stuff you probably gonna like his too
Now to the image:
I started this some weeks ago when i felt really really down and the original folder name was "something awesome", naturally i started drawing a woman and started looking threw the galleries of the various stock artists i'm watching and settled for this one:
imperialstarletstock.deviantarβ¦
From there on out one thing let to another and i really have no clue what i should be writing now, since the image went threw many many iterations. I got 17 images of work in progress stages sicne i like to see the progress i made after some hours of drawing.
Actually if you are really intrested in the process of how the image was created, I recoreded every drawing session on twitch. and they are saved there so yeah brace yourself, 4 pages of videos all 1-2 hours long :/

What I don't think you've realized is this is a fan art of Warhammer 40k, so the creature design, armour design, the setting and stuff like that are all heavily inspired by the actual things in the game, so...

I do have that feeling way way later after I posted that critique. So, it was a mistake on my part for not noticing it. Regardless, I do hope he and others who read this could feel that it helped them in some way or the other.
Thank you for notifying me though.

i just realised that i do not get notices when people reply on your critique and found this just by luck Γ΄.Γ΄
ArtOfhKm do not worry your critique was and still is appreciated and I hope the bigger projects I am currently working on will show some progress in the
In addition i still want to return the favour one time please give me a heads up when you want a crituqe
lucydowning101 while it is important to notice that this is a warhammer 40k inspired imageΒ the problems discribed by artofhkm are never the less real and needed to be adressed

very awesome work love your sister of battle and your fex but i have one question though. isn't the fex a bit small usually humans only come up to there knee
π: 0 β©: 1
heyho, thanks for your comment and compliments !
To your question, the Fex is supposed to be smaller due to the perspective, if he would stand right next to the building behind him he'd be bigger than the arches of said building.
I have no doubt that it's due to my inexperience with perspective and composition at the time i drew this image that he appears to small compared to the sister.
check out my newest image to see how i've improved sicne then

well perspective is tuff especially when your dealing with things that are such different sizes and then u throw in arcitechture in the mix brings in a whole new world of complicated. It might look more proportionate if u changed perspective from a straight on to Β either from the looking up at the sister Β to the carnifex or looking at her from above and too the carnifex but i think that would make the arch a problem

Hey, thanks! Glas you Mike it

That creature on the left looks really Zerg-like (from Starcraft). Another way of putting it is that you get the feeling it will rip you to shreds, given the chance...and I get a feeling that is the feeling you wanted to put onto it
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks for your comment and yes there are a lot of simiarites between zerg and tyranids, but both are derivated from the insect monster from star shipt troopers

Why is it that the fans seem to capture Sisters of Battle so much better than actual GW artists? They should commissioning people like you. This is awesome. Love everything about it.Β

wow. thanks ! that's a really unexpected praise, I for one do not concider myself even near as good as the artists working for GW. Thanks a lot !

That's probably the most dynamic carnifex I've ever seen. Most of the time, as cool as the models are, I can't see how they would move at all quickly or with the kind of alien grace I expect from the Tyranids. You finally made me see it.

Fexes aren't supposed to be agile or graceful. They're living battering rams; they can be surprisingly fast in close combat, and can get a lot of speed going in a flat out run, but don't expect them to turn on a dime.

Hm, interesting that it's a Katana, and doesn't look to be a power or chain-sword. I imagine there's some significant reasoning in her personal background for that. With that said this is one brave woman, I like her hair-style and the look in her eyes as she glares at the Carnifex, and you know that not only is she going to fight that thing, she's going to go into melee...
She's probably not going to survive. But she's going to die well. Fighting for her faith and humanity's continued existence against impossible odds... Stuff of legends... An even greater legend if by some miracle she wins...

Hi! Schoene Zeichnung!
Die Anatomie der Schwester ist nicht ganz richtig. Ihr rechter Arm, der Winkel is nicht richtig. Und da stimmt etwas nicht mit dem Hals der Schwester in der Zeichnung.
Ich mag das Gesicht der Schwester, und ich mag das Tyranid. Zeichnen macht Spass, I moechte auch eine Zeichnung machen heute Abend!
Tschuess, Maarten-Michiel
