40K Drawings; Terminator added
Ah. Um. Well, here we go...
My conception of the power claw that the Immortal God Emperor of Humanity wears. Most other depictions-- like this
have them as being more talon-like, but I was doodling in Design class the other day and had a brainwave, resulting in these...
Self-explanatory. Colors are shite, I need a more extensive range in my color pencils...
The eyes are all wrong... *grumble*
But anyway! Thanks for input, this thread might get periodic updates if I get enough encouragement...

It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.
Claws looked cool, very deadly
Sanguinin, meh. His torso looks like it's facing out while his, um, leg is pointing off to the side. Lose the skirt.
Tau looks cross-eyed

'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!'
Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face.
'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand.' He faltered and leaned heavily on his staff. 'What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.'

Was basing it somewhat on this...Balrog wrote: Sanguinin, meh. His torso looks like it's facing out while his, um, leg is pointing off to the side. Lose the skirt.
But yeah. It's a bit much I guess... though as it was just a quick sketch I did in Draw II, I was being lazy and trying to get out of doing his lower half
Hence my griping about the eyes... but yeah. I need to work on that.Tau looks cross-eyed
Thanks for your comments though! Anybody else?

It is a nicely-drawn claw, though. Now how to replicate in epoxy putty and plasticard...

And I think it'd be easier to do on a 54mm Inquisitor-scale figure. Size issues and all...

Did a palm-up version, with the claw folded into a fist. Rax asked in the chat the other day how that worked-- would the claws puncture the hand and all that-- and the answer is they actually fit into a rack, of sorts, which loops across the base of the fingers. The thumb doesn't fit, obviously; and normally it'd be sticking out when punched with, but if I'd drawn it right it wouldn't have fit the page...
Anyway! Enjoy...
Oh, and yes, there is a power conduit running into the base of the thumb. It joins into the other 'fingers' though, to provide power.

uhm... but punching with thumb extended= broken thumb!!

A.) It's reinforced; being a gauntlet's powered descendant tends to help there, ya know?Lindar wrote:uhm... but punching with thumb extended= broken thumb!!
B.) It's primarily used to cut through armour and flesh; when it's used to hit shit, it's a backhand most of the time rather than a punch, especially as in the Emperor's terminator armour it's harder to draw the arms back effectively for such a blow.
C.) The thumb claw has a more direct feed to the power supply; power can be turned up for a more powerful cut. In such a case, it's more expedient to bundle up the other fingers to make slashing easier.

What have crayons got to do with anything? Or BAP, for that matter?
Out of curiosity, Elheru, what WAS that done in? From the texture it actually COULD be crayon depending on the surface drawn on.
And aren't the shoulder plates mostly outside the picture anyway?

Critique, yay.
The first one, of the hand. Looks pretty damned good, actually. The wrist, though, seems to be a little ... off? It's kind of twisted off to the side, it seems. Also, the fingers are disproportionate to the hand's size, way too small.
The second - Looks good, actually, even with the lack of definition. Though, I'd suggest not deepening the outer line to the wings so much; they're feathered, they shouldn't be so heavily outlined. The body also looks kinda scrunched up.
That blue thing - The topknot looks okay, but not, at the same time. Don't really know how to describe it. Also, the mouth is too heavily defined. The consistence in outline is not there, but otherwise looks good.
The fourth - Again with the wrist. Also, if you're making a fist with it, there should be some point of reference as to where the rest of the fingers went. Generally, there will be a side view of at least *part* of the fingers. To see what I mean, make a fist and look at it.
The last - Just kinda makes me go O.o really...

Colour pencil. I need more different colours, though... the texture is fucked up from all the resizing I had to do too.Out of curiosity, Elheru, what WAS that done in? From the texture it actually COULD be crayon depending on the surface drawn on.

It's a power-fist or lightning claw (I'm still not quite sure what that is on the Emperor's left gauntlet, but I'm calling it a power claw as a compromise as it's definitely not a lightning claw IIRC). The actual hand is more in the region of the back of the 'hand' there; the whole thing is much larger than a hand. And as to why it hangs odd-- that's just how it came out. The 'arm' above the edge of the paper ain't hanging straight down though... try it yourself, just let your arm hang at your side with hand facing inwards. It'll hang with your forearm bent slightly forwards and fingers pointing downwards to floor. That's how it's drawn...haas mark wrote:Critique, yay.

Er, yeah. Blame that on it being a quick sketch in class. Was exploring options for a larger work.The second - Looks good, actually, even with the lack of definition.

That would be a Tau. And the topknot's kinda fucked up, I know. Again, it's just a sketch, if a bit more developed.That blue thing - The topknot looks okay, but not, at the same time. Don't really know how to describe it. Also, the mouth is too heavily defined. The consistence in outline is not there, but otherwise looks good.
The claw portion is too long and sharp to fold in like normal fingertips do. It's mostly mechanical as well, plus flatter than a normal hand, sooo...The fourth - Again with the wrist. Also, if you're making a fist with it, there should be some point of reference as to where the rest of the fingers went. Generally, there will be a side view of at least *part* of the fingers.

The Legs look a little small.
The top, where the weird half-helmet thing is doesn't look... three-dimensional... enough.
The left arm (my left, his right) looks strange... what is it supposed to be? Where is the hand?
EDIT- Oh, okay. It's a stormbolter and the "ribbing" at the elbow is actually his hand closer to the camera. That makes sense.
It looks a little strange still, the hand seems too small.
Otherwise it looks amazing. Well, amazing as a Smurf can be. The little "ULTRA" is a good touch- do real Termies have those typically? I can't say truthfully that I stare at Space Marine crotches that often.

Too top-heavy, I agree on making the legs thicker and giving some dimension to the head
