Tearer of Flesh

Dear watchers and watcherettes...

I'm trying to keep the Gallery updated more often these days, so in keeping up with that pace I bring you tonight another vision of the Dark Millenium.

These two MiniMaserpieces were requested by a client to depict his Flesh Tearers Commander; quite an imposing and frightening battle-brother!
I'm always glad to take a stab at underrepresented Chapters, and the Flesh Tearers have somhing that is really attractie to illustrate. They're loyal to the Imperium, but their gene-seed mutation has made them so savage, so blood-thirsty that they almost look heretical. It's very interesting to think the Imperium suffers such terrible nightmares to exist if that means more worlds will be added to mankind's rule.

I'm particularly proud of the skin tones in this character's face, as well as the scar on the side of his mouth. The atmosphere in general is another thing I'm happy about; very brooding and obscure.

I hope you enjoy these two and let me know what you think as usual.

Nic.-
