Description Left to right: Bjorn, Space Wolf Tactical with Frost Axe (not that you can see it); Alistayr, Storm Warden Librarian with a jump pack, Force Staff and wrist-mounted Storm Bolter; Khan Ramirez, cigar-smoking, shotgun-wielding Arbites; Aethon, Lamenter with a Relic Spear and lacking a goatee that he was supposed to have; Alaric, (another) Space Wolf Assault Marine with an antique Jump Pack; Varen, Novamarine Devastator; and Ulfbert, Techmarine with the face of Punished Snake and two Storm Bolters.

Thank you, Cimbri, for commissioning me. Sorry for making you wait so damn long for one piece. Hope it was worth the wait.

projectcomment.deviantart.com - I'm from here.

That is some mighty fine artwork you got there. I like the detail, the designs, and the shadings of well, everything in this artwork. The body proportions are okay, the armor designs of are really awesome. I like how you give each guy in this picture a unique look to their faces. I also like how you gave little detail to small places like one of this guy's shoulder armor. I can tell you put a lot of work into this. Truth be told, I couldn't make a drawing in my life. I always fail and I just couldn't get the proportions nor details right, especially when it comes to the face or body structure. I usually go to my friends for help, but they are here right now. Even without any color this picture is explicit and a national art. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. I think you might be over-reaching with the compliments, though. There are quite a lot of things that I wish could have been done better in this piece, and am frankly disappointed in it more than some of the others, mainly because its commissioner deserved better.

hi i'm from
Thats one hell of a detailed work! i liked how you mixed heart and warfare designs into each other and the body proportions and language of the characters are very nicely done! but somethings i would like to point out is that .. first: the shade tones in all the characters are same so its kind of mixing them all together and the viewer cant easily differentiate unless he sees it very carefully, so it would be nice if you use darker tones on the sides of the characters to differentiate them.second is the texture. you need to give the robotic Armour some metallic and guns their plastic-metallic looks.. that will drastically improve your drawings i promise!rest.. i love your piece.

Yes, the shades were poorly done. Everything was largely mixed and blurred with each other. It was a bad experience.

I love the bulk and sheer epicness of war hammer armor. This picture captured the armors on point.

Hello I am commenting on behalf of .

Wow what an amazingly detailed drawing you have here.  There seems to be so much going on, from hi-tech armor to all types of wild weapons!  Bottom line this is a very cool drawing.  Can't imagine the work or the patience involved. Each member of the group has their own personality and you have clearly shown that in your drawing. You should have indicated how big the drawing is because drawing this many detailed characters on a 8x10 or 9x12 piece of paper is impressive as all heck.

The one thing I find to be a bit of a drawback is that there is not enough contrast in the drawing.  Some of the characters seem to blend into each other.  The men to the left and right of the center character seem to get lost in all the detail. Some nice dark areas would have helped with separation. Also it's a little tough to tell in which direction your light source is coming. Some dark shading would have helped again with separation.

Overall though a fantastic drawing with an impressive amount of detail.  I'm sure Cimbri loved it.  Have a great day.

Hello~ I'm from ICT game!
My word is  "future"
I choose this drawing of yours because the armor suit they wearing is futuristic! The robotic armor design is pretty cool! They look heavy and tough. There are so many lovely details in here and i can tell that you put a lot of effort and time for this! Their expressions are nicely done, too! 
However, i think you can put more contrast on the shading. Playing with different contrast on shading, or maybe crosshatch shading to make their armors don't look same. It's confusing to see which armor is, especially for two guys on the left. I almost can't tell whose leg is the one with lightning. Also, I think it would be nice if you edit the brightness & contrast for better presentation. You can use free image editor online such as pixlr.com if you don't have photoshop (or similar software).
Hope these tutorials help you:

Overall, you did a great job on this! Keep it up your good work and happy improving ^^

Thank you very much for your kind help. I've tried to use these tutorials as much as I could in my next piece, but am stuck on digital editing with pixlr. It's quite confusing to me; I have no experience at all in editing, colour balance, post-processing and so on. May I ask for your help again in this matter?

You're welcome!  ^^
Of course! How can i help you? Use pixlr express for quick editing~

Sorry for replying so late. It's actually 3am here.

I had pixlr express open, but was really, really lost because of the nomenclature - it might mean the same thing as what was mentioned in the tutorial, such as colour levels and balance, but I'm too thick to recognise any of the terms in the editor, especially under the Colour tab.

Okay, so after you browse your image, click adjustment. All you need to edit your drawing are crop tool, and contrast tool. If your drawing is B&W, then make it grayscale. Adjust your brightness & contrast on contrast tool.
No need to use other tools if not necessary
Hope this helps~
