Thank you very much!
I was impressed by Mortarion in "The Flight of the Eisenstein". Mr. Swallow depisted a very attractive and charismatic person.

Guess, Games Workshop don't have any vacancies for artists.

One of the reasons why I began to draw this series was that a year ago we didn't know much about primarchs (though today there are still a lot of white spots in their history). There were no images of some of them, only miniatures. I thought this theme is very interesting for drawing.

Well... I like Mr. Blanche's arts very much, especially those of various spacemarines and sceneries. They are the very essence of "Warhammer spirit".

Хотя... вот ты меня убей, но на арте Смита тощим я его никак не назову. Там мощнейший детина.

Если на то пошло, то и сами ГВ до сих пор не разобрались, что у них считается каноном высшим.. )) Как говорят поляки: "Gulaj, dusza, piekla niema" - "Гуляй, душа, потому что ада нет". ))

Yes, he did. And a special mask covers his face. But I wanted to draw him without all these things. Tried to imagine his face.

Well, but you know, this isn't a canonical though I tried to create his appearance without a mask according to the flaff-bible and the art of A. Smith. My vision of that primarch. t the end of drawing I began to feel pity for him.

Noldofinve In reply to godlikeangel [2008-01-16 21:45:35 +0000 UTC]

No., it's before. He grew in poisonous athmosphere of Barbarus and the gases badly affected his face.

godlikeangel In reply to Noldofinve [2008-01-17 10:30:25 +0000 UTC]

i thought that before he was just really pale with a few liver spots?

because i thought that the death guard and mortarion had the greatest immune system of the primarchs and astartes

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Noldofinve In reply to godlikeangel [2008-01-17 23:15:53 +0000 UTC]

Well, about his pale skin you're right. In the flaff-bible is written that Mortarion's face was affected by Barbarus poisons and he wasn't a beautiful guy. And even his immune system which was really strong (you're right again) was useless against such athmosphere.
