Description
The "Scribe" pattern Servo-skull also supports advanced optical recording and replay facilities, which makes it popular for flying into the Adepta Sororitas changing rooms post-battle.
EDIT: Made the quill significantly lighter.

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen, and I have no idea why. D:

Servo skulls are one of my favorite bits of 40K lore. Such a unique idea, and wonderfully rendered by you in this piece.

Yeah, I enjoy doing them. They're all so unique. Thanks for the comment!

Nice to see some artwork on one of the more mundane aspects of the Warhammer 40k universe, as well as a piece much more simplistic in design than most 40k art.

at first I couldn't see very well (Glasses don't help), then I enlarged it and i could see every detail, how do you make these?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, the full sized image is much bigger than what's on here.
They're composites of the stock imagery, processed in Photoshop. I used effects like Cutout, Curves, Levels etc to give them their distinctive Black & White comic look.
I was heavily inspired by Frank Miller's Sin City, but in the end I just think the dark, slightly grimy look suits the 40k mythos

Hard to see some of the detail but from what i can see it takes on the gothic feel of the 40k universe.
Brilliant work!

Thankyou! I've made the quill lighter due to the general consensus being it was too dark. Let me know what you think

Much Much better!!!

sorry for double post... I meant "something like that".

Excellent. And I can see the quill just fine.

no offence, but the quill is too hard to see...

P.S still great though

Interesting, thanks for the feedback. On my monitor, the quill is a uniform shade of black that is distinguishable from the background, outlined in a slight white line. Can you see it at all on yours? It's dark on mine, but I wonder if my monitor is calibrated brighter than yours...?
Oh, and thanks

Even on the brightest monitor settings it looks wrong, like a odd mask layer...
Sorry!

No problem, I appreciate the input. I've added a texture to the quill which might make it look a little better. Beyond that, I'm not sure what else to do

just lighten the quile a slight bit. While I can see it, it would benifit from the change

Thanks for the feedback, I'll bear that in mind

uh...
it kinda looked better before... Sorry!

P.S please don't hate me

Lol, no worries.
I think I like it better this way, but seriously thanks for the advice. It's useful to know what other people think of your stuff
