I thought I'd try my hand at drawing a Space Marine... but then I thought, nah, let's go for a Traitor Marine instead.
Even after much deliberation, I was unable to decide exactly which legion (or chapter) he should be from. As the drawing evolved further I started to go with a slight Word Bearers theme, but nothing too obvious. There are one or two hints at it about the picture.
What I wanted to capture most about the character was that he'd been around (and exposed to the ruinous powers of the Warp) for a bloody long time.

Huzzah!
ReplyDeleteCheers Mikko :)
DeleteLovely as usual. That chainsword in the background is brutal looking device...
ReplyDeleteThank you Turska!
DeleteI have to confess that I borrowed the basic design of the chainblade from JB's illustrations of Magnus the Red for the Horus Heresy CCG.
Nice work... but I really want to see more of the cultist in the background!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lasgunpacker :)
DeleteOf course you do. Might have to give him his own sketch at some point.
This is "Light-Tricks" from DA. Excellent work, this really captures the soul of the setting in a way that seems to have been lost now.
ReplyDeleteDo you take commissions at all...?
Thank you for the high praise, Kieran. Much appreciated :)
DeleteI do indeed take commissions. Send me an email (schwager@solitudo.com) if you want to have a chat about it.
