In the Grimdarkness of the future...
I’ve been having fun working on a Warhammer 40k piece. I don’t play, but the universe is a great mix of incredibly detailed, infinitely flexible and adaptable, and has a long history (like, in real life) full of art. The genetic super soldiers of humanity known as Astartes or “space marines” wear this absolutely wonderful bulky armor with tons of great shapes to work with and tons of customizations in the lore.
Here’s my progress so far. I think I’ve settled on most of the colors and the basic composition, so now it’s on to the fun of playing with the mid-details that will help break up shapes in the right ways and give good visual interest. THEN on to the mindless rendering (which I actually really enjoy as well).
Feel free to stop by my stream. I’ve been trying to broadcast more often. Some nights my ISP doesn’t like the Twitch servers, so the stream is a bit choppy at times, but it’s not like I’m working at blazing speed anyway. Come say hi! I don’t get many visitors.
