Memnon + Art = No 56k

The no pencil techpriest looks quite, quite good, evoking some thoughts of the Stalinism, somehow... I like it, although it's not quite the right theme for Techpriests, I think. The one thing I'd do is center the inner eye circles.

I like your techpriest.

Thanks :P

Before you paint them, up the contrast so your pencil lead lines get a bit darker.

I was trying it with the normal pencil lines to try for a bit of a lighter look, though I see what you mean now - I can still darken them, it's still saved as layers :D
I'll post that soon.

Yeah, having the goggles/glasses offcenter does make it a bit wonky. I'm definitely thinking about doing some more stuff in that style - maybe stuff like robots or something! And I definitely did not think that it was kind of soviet realism ish, though now that you say that it does make sense.

EDIT: socialist realism is the style I was trying to reference, not soviet realism (which isn't the name of anything art-related afaik).

More messing around with effects in GIMP:

Here is some messing with filters and saturation


And testing colors - making the red and brown pop, in particular


And here's that darker techpriest. Now with 100% more grimdark!

Just some stuff I'd forgotten to post:

A sororitas I did. Look, a background!


This psyker didn't turn out too well...


But this practice helped a little bit for a better one (lol breakdancing)


Which would be this one, which is a psyker using divine shot.

The Sister's left leg looks a bit like Ms. Piggy's, but otherwise nice stuff.

The psyker actually looks pretty good (not the shooting one), assuming that's a generic psyker, not Metalus. If it is Metalus, then changes need to be made.

Better? Wasn't sure what you meant.

Also, a few doodles I did


Which I decided to move around to, perhaps, get an idea of a picture


Led to this:

Flat colors up soon.
