Disciple of Khaine

I was bored today so i started drawing and drew a Disciple of Khaine from WAR online and though some of you may be intrested to see it so here it is sorry for the bad picture my other camera is charging ATM.

Keep up the good work,its nice to see someone post something theyve taken the time to do,other than just a random comment!I have no idea what WAR is but if im allowed any observations of your work it would be that the legs appear too short(I know hes crouching but still isnt right!) and he looks a little traced because its just outlines and no shading(apart from a little smudging,which bought me a B in my GCSE artwork by the way*)but 10 out of 10 for something different!
*I was told by my teacher Id get no better than a D cos I insisted on drawing sci-fi and fantasy!Hes dead now!

WAR = Warhammer onlone

and I agree, the legs are short, and the torso is large compared to the abdomen. However, it does look pretty good.


And yes, it does look traced...

well it wasnt traced, but i learnt to draw in a comic book style which focusses on outlines

WAR stands for Warhammer Age of Reckoning
Or WAR online

"WAR stands for Warhammer Age of Reckoning"
Thanx 4 the education!
Mine were observations not criticism.The beauty of art is in the eye of the beholder,I cannot say whether it is good or bad,just what I see.

No don't apologise I appreciated the comments the whole reson I started drawing again was becuase I want to get better and you clearly have some talent so your comments are much appreciated.

Heres a few drawings and paintings Ive done,quite a few years ago now,dont do much nowadays.





This last painting is a character for Paramecius roleplay game Eidolon,its very 2dimensional and unfinished but that goes to show my lack of enthusiasm for drawing at the mo.Too many miniatures to paint! So its great to look at other peoples stuff.U should see Paramecius computer art on his web link,tis very good!

Excuse the bared breast!

Ah thats a good point im looking for some computer software for doing art in perticular airbrushing as i love the look of airbrushing and i would love to try some

Im sure Paramecius can point u in the right direction!

Paramecius I need you!

Ah!photobucket finally has caught up and changed the picture from Eidolon to the cropped version Id edited so sorry guys,no bared breast!lol Art is subjective!

I'm here Lad, and i'll try to help you best i can.

I like the style of you drawing, tis like some manga i have seen, and yeah the legs are just a little out of proportion, but it is a tricky old thing. Definately keep it up.

I would like to make a comment about tracing ( i know you didn't do it Robert) , there is a general feeling that tracing is cheating. This is wrong!
Proffesional artists have been using the method since the invention of the camera obscura. Remember how medieval art that was all flat and had no perspective , suddenly became amazingly lifelike in the 1700's ? This was due to the a new method that had artists sitting in a blacked out room with a tiny hole in the wall which projected an image of what was in the the next room onto the canvas, that image was then traced! Boris vellejo, one of the best known fantasy artists of the 80s and 90s traced photos of his model with a styrograph which enlarge the picture . Most proffessional artists trace photo referance, especially for human studies. It's just another tool in an artists arsenal, using a computer program to paint is the same, just another tool to improve and speed up the process of creating art. It is not the method that is important, just the finished work!

well with that rant over......

If you come to club friday Robert, i'll have something very nice for you! ( can't say any more... )


Just a bit of personal info here I got an E for GCSE Art but i kept drawing and painting after i left school, i would say experimentation with new methods or media your not used too, are the best way to jump ahead with you skills, otherwise you just plateau and don't get better

Oooo you have my attention i shall have to make an effort to attend this weeks gathering of the minds, and the ocasional helpful wierdo (Not you btw, i refure to myself)

I like to think of myself as an occasional wierdo!Just not a helpful one! I also think Ive plateaued,but thats not a bad thing either,its like a great weight off my shoulders!I yam what I yam! Gibber!
