Artist's Comments

*Whew*
This one took almost FOREVER to finish, what with all those nifty details and stuff hanging from characters in the dark universe of Warhammer 40,000!
It's certainly been a while since I uploaded anything related to that universe here in my deviantART gallery, mainly because I wanted to use this as a portfolio showing my range when illustrating, and most of my commission work usually is related to WH40K, so it gets a bit 'dense' sometimes. HOWEVER, I do find it extremely appealing and I know there's been lots of people asking me to upload illustrations of the Dark Millenium for a while, so here goes the latest I've done, which will tentatively be the cover artwork for FIREBASE magazine (a project developed by gamers and for gamers with an amazing quality of articles!); you can check it here: [link]
This piece also marks a sort of return for me to my main passion within the Warhammer 40,000 background: The Inquisition and its Chamber militant the <i<Sisters of Battle, as seen here, making a last stand against Chaos cultists, a.k.a The Lost and the Damned.
I enjoyed a lot of details from this scene: the overall sense of motion and action; the sort of 'epic' last stand of the heroes of the Imperium, as well as the design of the Chaos cultists. The vapours are something I'm improving on and the palette is (of course!) one of my favourites.

I hope you enjoy it, and let me know your thoughts as usual!

Wahoooo! You know I love your 40k stuff, and I think either this one or the one with the Doctor Who-ish Inquisitor are right after your Dorn piece (nothin' is gonna top that in my mind). It's grizzly, action packed, and just...cool, exactly what 40k is. Your Sisters are just superb as well, and I'm happy someone is doing something with them instead of just the Marines, as while I like the Marines the Sisters get the short end of the stick (well them and Orks but come December that's gonna change). Happy to see you putting it up here.

...Aw man. That Sister of Battle, with her brain coming out of her head...that gave me chills. Seriously gave me chills.

- So where is he?
- I dunno, he`s somewhere...
:iconphilhoeft:
The balance of darks and lights in this is great. I really like the dust/smoke technique.
:iconkrazy-kupo:
Wait wait wait wait... wait. Sisters of Battle and no flamethrowers??!?!
Hehe.
Great pic man, really captures the feeling and action going on in the picture.

Well, the flamethrower Sister is experiencing some problems at the moment; as you can see, she's been shot in the head :P...

Seriously, though, i totally forgot about the ';purging-fire-of-the-Emperor' thing. I've been drawing too much Space Marines pictures...

Thanks for the compliments!
