This one is purely amazing. I could use all my "prise" English vocab and probably I wouldn't be able to express how great it is. So detailed... So fantastic! The essence of Warhammer.

That's quite positively the most awesome thing I have ever seen in my life. I still need to learn texturing and detail, so that my drawings have the chipped, dented look of that guy's armor.

Very beautiful, the design is sleek and sexy, also I quite like the banner in the background, it adds depth to the character.
A question if I may though?
I notice on a lot of Warhammer40K art that members of the Imperium *huzzah!* wear those red insignia, what exactly are those?
*note: If it isn't obvious yet , yes I am a novice in the world of WH40K

Ze details! My god! Ze details!

Good luck on coloring it, I can't wait to see that done!

I always liked the Black Templars for the Knight looks, though I still like my Dark Angels.I love the helmet and sword/shield. Beware of the future Knights, the Adeptus Astartes.

And in the category of (hopefully) constructive criticism (believe me I'm not trying to bag on you):
The sky's a little funky, perhaps a bit too regular and uniform. Watch the debris on ground. I'd try to mute it a bit so that it doesn't distract from the figure. There's a lot going on down there, particularly in the lower left where the dead marine gets a bit muddled in with the cloak. I think the cloak, tabard and banner are fine as they are as it let's you show off the heraldry, but realistically they may be blowing around just a bit more given what's going on with the purity seals and banners in the background.
Just trying to help, hope I haven't overstepped myself here. It really is a fine piece.

cheers hey, yeah those points are good thankyou, i did look at the sky, and i will be attempting to do something about it when my copics arrive and perhaps a blur on photoshop, just to destroy the edges, plus counting on the fact i downloaded a whole bunch of different brushes for clouds and so forth from the net.
with the banner and such, when i was doing them i was thinking along the lines of paper being thinner than say... weighted curtains, paper is going to flap around much more than heavy cloth...
and from a tactical point of view,... its hard to snap off a shot when your cape and loin cloth are flapping around you.... lol
but no you have not over stepped your mark at all, thankyou for your critique!!!

looks gfreat now i have a greater urge to get the crusader spreu with some brettonia bits

lol, so many possiblities....
as i may have said before, many people look upon the space marines as too uniform, too constricted in what you can do with them... i hope i prove a point that with all my models and drawings, they are maintining the constraints that have been laid out but are showing in fact that each marine is their own person...

it's so true
people need to read more of the great novels
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
for instance the Uriel Ventris trilogy and Ragnar Blackmane series....
best novels ever in my opinion, coming second is the Soul Drinkers series and for books that are rather funny to read (Warhammer 40k bineg funny??!! shock horror) the ciaphas cain novels

wow man, I am seriously impressed. This guy puts your early work to shame, and much of mine as well. truly amazing amount of detailo especially with the battle damage and the purity seals. the broken equiptmen at his feet is also very cool. All in all, extremely impressive.
