Warhammer 40k inspired me to color
This one's lineart was magically knicked off of Roberto Cirillo's Design Studio, and seeing as I've developed a thing for Vostroyan Guardsmen, I decided to do my best at coloring and lighting it the other evening. I only did the guy on the far right, but I may go back and start on the next two if I can wrap my head around what's supposed to be what material.
There's nothing fancy with lighting effects and only some minor texturizing, but I think it works well except for a couple spots. I should put it up on my website as another one of my photoshop examples but I thought at the least show it off here for now.
My mother saw it while I was compositing the image and insisted all three of them were the Wicked Witch of the West's guards.

It is in fact a wooden-stocked lasgun, due to the muzzle design and the powerpack. They've got Lascannons as well. Although an autogun would function the same as a lasgun in the rules so nothing's stopping someone from fielding their troops with them, as per the original Imperial Army and some really backwater regiments.Adrian Laguna wrote:Very well done.
Interesting, that Guardman is not holding a las-rifle. There can be no doubt that it is a slug-thrower. It seems to be wood-finished too.
I went for the stardard colors as I liked them and knew it'd give good contrast (plus they're totally the kind of colors I would have picked on my own anyhow); I did a quick test with dull fur green, navy blue, and unpolished steel, but I didn't get the same effect. Deep blue and silver might look good, though.
And totally wrong Russian era, Bear.

I believe in a sign of Zeta.
