Ghost's Stuff

[Ghost765]

Mmm, well, people think I'm a guy with more artistic skills than people around me, but I dont really consider myself too artistic. But then again, I'm quite young, so there's alot of time to improve.
Nothing i do is tracing, including any words with special fonts that i may put in my drawings.

First picture is of my most recent drawing. Basically a "Support the War" poster, but in Nazi Germany. This was for a School propaganda project, so we chose to do a WWII poster. Alot of people said the poster was very nice or such, but I'm beginning to slowly hate it since it lacks alot of stuff that i could've added.
Text Reads: "Fuhrer (Leader), we will follow you until death" Or something very similar to that.
Forgive me if i offend you in any way with this picture, I am not a Neo-Nazi, this was for school purposes.

The Next few pictures are of Warhammer 40k stuff, from about a year ago. They look bad in my opinion now, but meh.

Second Picture is of a Macharius Pattern Tank from warhammer 40k. Two 6-barreled autocannons (or assault cannons i cant remember), two sponson mounted heavy bolters, and 2 lascannons upfront.

Third and Fourth Pictures are of a Grey Knight Venerable Dreadnought. Has a Plasma Cannon, Power Claws, 2 dual-flamers, and a psycannon

Fifth Picture is of a Chaos Dreadnought, Thousand Sons variant. Has a plasma cannon, underslung chainsword, a flamer, and a power fist.

Sixth Picture is of an Ultramarine Honorguard. Helmet is a bit messed up. Has a Power Axe, and a Combi Plasma/Bolter pistol.
I'll post some more pictures when i finish them.

I Elenai officially vouch for this work, due to the historical nature, and by reasoning that it is NOT meant to be offensive, only educational.

Well its not too realistic, too cartooney, but it still looks good.

 

[Ghost765]

i dont aim to be completely realistic
when i do, it looks fake.

Very wise. And realistic drawings are kinda run-of-the-mill here. So fuck them; I prefer cartoons. They have more emotion anyways.

 

[Skylord]

the tanks look good. when i try to be to realistic it look fake too

 

[Ghost765]

the tanks are supposed to be Panzer IV, fitted with a different cannon, since the Panzer IV's default cannon is like a stub.

 

[Nudl9]

I kinda liked that you dropped out the eyes.

 

[Paladon]

You forgot a "den".
Correct german would be: "Wir folgen dir bis in den Tod".
You should add that if it´s for somekind of school project.

 

[Volvox]

I like your lines, sharp and accurate.

 

[Ghost765]

hm, squiggy also told me to put a den in it when i first consulted him about it. I had put placeholders in my regular handwriting, but when i wrote over it with the font, the size was increased alot, so i just took out the den.
when i plugged it in to the google translator without the den, it turned out to be almost the same meaning. but our LA teacher doesnt know german, so we dont need to be entirely accurate.

Shading out the eyes seem to be apparent in quite a few german posters, while others show them. I myself am terrible at drawing eyes/faces. i'm trying to draw subjects with open faces, so i can improve. A few years back, if the subject had open faced helmets like these, i would draw in ski-masks to cover up their bottom half of their face, while drawing in Goggles so the eyes would be covered.

New Pictures Added.

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

Very nice work.

 

[bounty hunter2]

The first one looks great. I don't like the tank. And the robot/guys look neat.

 

[Ghost765]

thanks guys. i'll upload of a picture of an angel and a paladin type deal that i did a few months ago later. on another note, i got a 92 on the Propaganda Poster, our English teacher left a note saying: a war effort poster isnt really creative, but overall well done.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

you should really ink or fineline the dreadnoughts. i find inking very useful for getting strong points out and differentiating hard edges from the soft edges.
they are really nice. especially the tzeentch dread and the missiles shooting out. very energetic.

 

[Ghost765]

hmm, i might go over the dreadnoughts with ink if i have the time. Currently theyre just hanging on my wall.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i hope the wall you hang it on doesnt have sunlight shining on it. maybe its because i live in australia, but pencil drawings fade real fast in direct sunlight

 

[Ghost765]

oh no, no sunlight.
im thinking about drawing some Custodians in Terminator or Power Armour. might customize their helmets too.

 

[hellblazer-14]

Wow mate, you have real talent... I wish I could sketch and draw as well as you can :/

I particularily like the first one, not only because of the incredible detail you put into it, but how good it looks, it almost looks like an original to me...
The Lines are all crisp and straight, and the text is beautiful as well.

You should keep working on it, and maybe go on to add some colour, I would be really interested in seeing what it turns out to

For the rest, I love warhammer, and these are very nicely done, I love the Last one the most <3
Plus rep for all your skill, effort and hard work. You've more than deserved it!

 

[Ghost765]

thanks mate, appreciate it. problem with color is that i cant really add depth to it. if i straight out color it, it looks flat and cartoonish, but if i try to shade with color, it turns out to be a horrible mess of colors.
the ultramarine honor guard? i liked how well the axe came out.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Man now I remember what does the first image remind me on. It reminds me on drawings from the German Exspresionism. I remember similar images I saw in the museum.
