THIS will BE EPIC!

How the hek you have created those details?

Hyperfocus on specific areas. This is also like the 50th marine I've attempted to sketch, so you get a feel for placement after a while. This is is by far the best, mainly because I'm going all in or all out, kinda.

This has inspired me to make an inspiring comment! :

For those of you not faithful in your drawing skills, practice = improvement.

Just look at the attached comparison.

 

[warhog]

did you create that marine all by yourself or do you got a reference picture?

I really got inspired to draw some marines now

Good question. I currently have 4 reference pictures:

Raynor poster image (the one where he's all valiantly standing in a marine suit)
Mercenary War Pig portrait image from in-game
Tychus statue picture
Tychus picture from cinematic

Gee, thanks

I finally posted an update.. ;P

Must.... draw... modded... rifle... *sigh*
I'm thinking bayonet attachment and something scope-ish?

You my friend, have improved a lot!
Keep us update, mate!

 

[XenoStalker]

Last picture is pretty badass in my opinion. Though, not sure what I am going to do since the picture is almost done...

*further pondering*

If anyone has a suggestion for a mod to add to the marine (e.g a sticker somewheres or what not) feel free to suggest. I may or may not listen to you.
I was going to do a little hidden easter egg sticker that says Hiveworkshop or something ^.^ Not sure where though...

Add some coloured designs to it, it's all black. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's looking quite nice, but it's boring because it's all the same colour. When I work with large artworks, I call this stage the BASIC of which I would do a few different designs on for finished artworks. Getting to BASIC is the most daunting task, it's where you take care of proportions, anatomy and general design. What remains is the fun part. Experiment, have fun.. make him your own.

Okay.. I just removed the color variations.

It's a black and white final. Well, it will be.

Title: ' War Pig: Enlisted '

Note: No shield or weapon for unique, placid pose. It also makes it have a dreary touch.

Very nice I like it.

 

[PROXY]

Totally awsome

 

[XenoStalker]

Meh.
