Description
Here we see the gradual refinement process of my bit-figure art of the Astartes:

2004 From the first published works. Simply wanted to make a Sci-Fi space marines based on the Warhammer 40k Astartes. (The lack of detail was intentional)

2009 Some minimal refinement of the shoulder pads. Stretched the boltgun 2 pix ...

2013 A standardized layout with improved shoulder pads and back pack. Helmet Crest was refined.

2014 Shading details begun for a more 3-D effect. Iconography on chest was attempted too.

2015 Weapons details added in terms of shading. Lengthened the shoulder pads vertically a pix.

2016 Attempts were made to produce a more realistic stance. Widened the bolter magazine 1 pix.

2018 Lengthened the shoulder pads vertically another pixel. Rendered a bolt gun more similar to the Goodwin Pattern.

2019 Attempted to render the new Primaris Space marine.

2020 Lengthen the legs 1 pixel to make the firstborn look a little less "chibi".

2021 Improved the upper proportions of the Primaris SM a tad, with a few boltgun refinements. Added a 4th digit to the grip-hand.

2023 Lengthend the legs 2 pixels to give the Primaris upper thighs (and look a little less "chibi").
Tweaked the helmet details to match the Primaris mini (and less like the Mk7, which reverted back to the 2019 attempt).

(Revised ad libitum)
