For The Emperor!

Click for biggar!

Just a colouring, as I'm sculpting an 8' poseable Space Marine based on this guy (amongst others) and I wanted a heads up on how he's gonna look painted up.

The original concept art is HERE. This guy is a genius.

needs more insignias

and purity seals
and pointless text and such.

the spazz marines, they love to be adorned, and at 8" it might look a little plain.

If you mean just for general colour scheme then it's not bad (red and black work, says Hitler's Decorator), in fact, it's good.

also well done keeping inside the lines, I never manage.

Edit: If you drew that then it's damned good, I thought we were just talking the colours.

Well, I'm sculpting the basic armour, casting it up, making a few sets

then individually adding detail to each one, then winning a GD, then (possibly) flogging them. They're going to have a ridiculous amount of detail.

* I didn't draw it though. I believe its a guy called ~~Robert Castillo~~ Mark Gibbons... I'm trying to find his website so I send him one when they're done.

I never managed to enter Golden Demon

All my ideas were either well above my talent level or too ambitious for the time available.

I did used to win the local competitions in the Oxford store til an actual Golden Demon winner moved there and made me look like the shit I am.

I've had about a million ideas that were way above my ability...

these ones probably aren't going to be done for next year actually... But I figure massive figures will be way easier to fit ridiculous details onto...

Jezus, fucking, shit, fuck...

That's ace.

Edit: The w00 was for the drawing, not the colouring in particular. Though I do like the colours n such...

I think he needs a faux goggles tattoo

but I'm not sure why

mediocre ha ha ha, you're reading this, Tue 26 Feb 2008, 9:54, archived)

can we get this straight...

did you draw it? The outlines, pose and such

or just colour it?

The colouring is really good.

If you drew it, it is increased to a "truly awesome"

the management reserves the right to withdraw any "truly awesomes" should evidence of cheating be found to be forthcoming...

just the colouring, unfortunately

It was a colour scheme test that I got carried away on. I'm working on my artworkiness though.

even so it's grand

Please post evidence of final sculpting - I'd really like to see it

Theres a whole bunch of stuff I have at the armature stage

or just ideas...I plan to do these Marines, The Endless from Neil Gaimans Sandman, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, half the bloody Discworld, and probably a whole bunch more superheroes and warhammer nonsense...

A marine, you say?

I'm imagining him being dropped from a helicopter into the sea wearing all that.
