They Do My Boy Sanguinius So Dirty In The Art Its A Damn Shame - Tumblr Posts

A few things that annoy me in Warhammer art:

Pale-skinned Word Bearers. With the environment Colchis has this is entirely impossible.

Angron drawn having normal teeth. His teeth were all replaced with iron ones ages ago, because the tremors from the Nails made him clench his teeth hard enough to break them.

Corax and the Raven Guard depicted with tan skin. Corax himself is described multiple times in the novels as ‘chalk white,’ which makes sense for someone who spent his formative years in a subterranean environment. He’s like one of those funny cave animals, but bird man. His sons inherit his lack of skin pigmentation due to flaws in his geneseed. This does not mean they are caucasian, this quite literally means they are white white.

Sanguinius with those awful anime girl drill curls. I don’t have a lore reason for this, it’s just bad.

The official art for the Horus Heresy books and how it typically makes all the primarchs look like they’ve had their faces smashed with very large shovels. Ruinstorm’s cover is the worst. It’s actually so bad it’s funny.

Terminator armor drawn such that its wearer looks like his arms are coming out of his head. GW has done this with mini sculpts too.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. I’m sure I’ll find more things to complain about.

Sanguinius won the right to be my next lab rat for practicing with this style, thanks to the people on Twitter c: so here he is

My focus will always be his face and hair, but I had no idea for a pose until I came across this pic once again and decided to recreate it.

My idea would be to make some contrast between bright deep red coming from the base and a light blue shade coming from high, let's see how it goes.

Also, I recommend doing this colors study for everyone who is still new to drawing, it helps a lot. (◕‿◕)

Also, this practicing has taught me that I can't use light/pastel colors. So be it t.t Sanguinius was my last lab rat for pastel colors and he's going to be my lab rat for just normal colors again.

Ps. For those curious about it, I'm currently using the oil painting brushes (both normal and dry) for basically everything. I was terribly bad with them at first, but I'd recommend them. They are good if you want to add textures to your drawings, especially for armors/metal pieces c:

Pps . Ngl I'm happy I don't use the 'anime style' anymore, it didn't matched the way I like to render colors. I'll still use it only if I have to.
