Description Just finished reading the "A thousand sons" horus heresy novel and felt like drawing one.

I realized that I haven't actually drawn any space marine with a proper bolter yet...so I made him hold a bolter instead of a staff..

Note that this is intended to be Pre-Heresy.

Hello there sir. Would you mind an Awesome Nice critique by me? e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/d… " width="21" height="15" alt="" title="I am a dummy!"/> I have a thing or two to say about this marvelous drawing. In fact what really atract me most of not just this drawing, is by ALL your works, is that they are VERY incredible detailed. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/g/g… " width="47" height="20" alt="" title="Glomp!"/>

I can spend like 10+ minutes just looking all the details you put, how they fit together, how they have sense and they have that effect of "texture". Honestly that's what i really like about all your works. On this one i can observe all the effort you put on the development of the metallic parts of the armour, the wings on his legs, the marvelousness on the weapon, ready to shoot. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="38" height="15" alt="" title="Hug"/>

But something i don't like about your style (excuse me) is that you are always drawing the same. I know is YOUR style but i always see the big-giant-who-is-so-fucking-detailed-to-death, i open your gallery and i see that, i like the "Joker" you did. And that was so awesome indeed. But i would like to see on your drawings backgrounds, something different. If you add a background (i know you can do it) it will increse the potencial of your job, but that's just MY opinion. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="38" height="15" alt="" title="Hug"/> That's why i put 3 stars on originality. ^^ I DON'T say your style is bad, but i suggest you to find ways to INNOVATE.

I would like to draw awesome nice metallic parts as you, honestly i admire that aspect of your work. DETAILS. You are a MASTER ON DETAILS.

Have a nice day sir.
Sorry for my roughness.

Sick AF.  Love the Thousand Sons, but -- we might have a beef here lol -- I love them pre-heresy when they were super cool Aegyptian space wizards.  However, I love the rubric armor and blue color of the post heresy, and even though your pic is in B&W, you know he's in rubric armor and you know (lol maybe) that he's in blue. 

The red just doesn't do it for me, and the pre Heresy helms are not as BA as that sweet rubric helm.   Great stuff.

Awesome again. My only thought is the head is a bit small. Apart from that is awesome and really captures the darkness of 4oK, and the baroque robotisism of the Thosand sons.

Ramunathra [2011-10-02 01:07:53 +0000 UTC]

So, I realize that I'm kinda late, but has anyone asked why they have a Rubric Helm on if it's pre-heresy?

Awesome no matter what. just figured I'd ask.

Name-Changer [2011-06-13 03:03:31 +0000 UTC]

Thats fucking AWESOME! i cant wait for someone to color it with maybe a dark mystic background. I love the details you gave him like all the inscriptions and his (crown?) how it is slanted instead of straight which i think always looked gay. Out of all the traitor legiions, thousand sons have always seemed bleak like everyone thinks their unique helmets are enough. Wish theyd include this guy in the upcoming game

It's certainly a very impressive drawing, and the rendering is nice and sharp. A suggestion about the gun magazine; try making the horizontal lines along the front follow the same angle as the horizontal lines along the front of the gun itself. At present the magazine looks like it's angled away from the viewer. Perspective on curved box magazines is a bitch though, one can but practice.

Looks awesome, but his head looks way too small.

DeVmarine In reply to matthewmcentire [2011-04-18 03:03:33 +0000 UTC]

Which only makes him look more gigantic and space-marine like.
Im heavily influenced by the Games-workshop art style, but admittedly I do tend to draw space marine's head smaller than normal proportions.

Because of the proportions, that's the head size of a guardsman, which means in the picture it hasn't grown at all.

thanks, The lighting on the helmet actually kind of got disrupted because of the scan reflecting light off the page.. but i guess it didn't come out too badly

sweet i like the thousand sons pic my brother will like this he is into the warriors of prospero and magnus the red. i like the way you still have their old symbol on their shoulder and bolter it makes this one stand out nicely. and it was a good job on the bolter to looks good homie, i also like the gyphs and runes on the armor makes them the sorcerers that they are suppose to be. keep it up man
