The next couple of pieces are pen and inks I'm in the processes of finishing. I'd like to think that I have a very healthy obsession with Warhammer 40K; especially when it comes to the vile, but oh so lovable Lost and the Damned, i.e. Chaos. Nothing says artistic freedom than Traitorous, Super Human Bio-engineered men that just so happen to worship and work for the deities of Hell...
I'm a Chaos Undivided kind of guy, though I tend to lean towards Good ol' Slaanesh and Father Nurgle more than their two other counterparts. Slaan being my favorite Chaotic Deity, Lord of pleasure and excess. I just have always pictured the Cenobites from Clive Barker's Hellbound Heart as being happy followers of Slaan's.
So, for awhile now. probably going on a year, I've been mulling over the thought of doing a very short Comic. I hate to use the phrase "fan fiction" because of its many conitations... The above images are of two Chaos Space Marines of the Former Emperor's Children Legion. I haven't given them names as of yet but the premise behind them is as follows.
I'm an avid reader of the Horus Heresy series put out by GW's Black Library. I've always been into the mythos behind the game more than playing it. There is a Marine by the name of Lucius, that is known some ten thousand years later as Lucius The Eternal. He's a butchering, killing, sadomasochistic all around nice guy. So I started to sketch out who might possibly be able to walk along side this mad man, yet alone maybe even be his protector, maybe even a cabal of trusty body guards that Lucius had personally picked from the Traitor Legion's ranks. Of course Luci would have to put his own mark on them, hence why each and everyone of his "guards" are primarily featureless.
Ok, posting this post has seriously pissed me off. The images won't stay properly where they were supposed to. So, I apologize if it looks like a five year old did this. I'm still very behind the times and I have no clue how to write Html.
Anyways, enjoy what I do have. More to come my Minions.

Here's a very quick update on a sketch-painting I started earlier this week, and added to today. The sketch to the right of the above painting was only loosely used as referance. I was originally going to paint my pen sketch, but it evolved - like so many things do - when painting or drawing... I'm still working out what I actually want this painting to become, but so far I'm happy with it's unnerving gaze.
Quick sketch of a Night Lord. I've always liked the fact that they were the most Fear inducing Legion. I figure that every member, especially during and after the Heresy liked nothing more than to outfit themselves in all manners of terrible things. Enjoy.
