There will be a limited amount of these in print form if anyone is interested.

C@C as always.

Oh dear.

You certainly know how to pump out these great images.

C&C

The heat effect in the centre of the image is fantastic.
Too much flame in the centre of the image- you lose most of the detail and it looks like he's just been lit up with a flamer. Perhaps flame leaking from all the joints in the armour (just keep the heat effect )
Flames in the skull eyes!
Is the skull his or a helmet? If helmet its way too small, if his its perfect.
Really like the imperial eagle on the shoulder pad.

WEll thanks for the uber fast reply

The helmet isnt really a helmet at all, ive seen the wip sculpts at FW and thought id just have a skulled marine, but when it had the lower jaw and now hoses it looked like ghost rider in power armor. So i took the bottom jaw off and added those hoses, so its kind of a mix.

as for the fire i was back and fourth on rather its too much or not enough. I figured this dude got the raw end of the stick and was cursed badly so hes just a walking flame ball. I do plan on doin some more artwork of LOTD with less fire and i will take the idea of leakin out of cracks and stuff to it.

Thanks sir.

This is excellent. The LotD, as far as I know, are something like zombie-marines, so the skull works. Personally, though? I'd love to see him wearing a helmet, with about 1/3 of it blasted away, so that you can see a glimpse of the burning skull beneath.

Wow, that's amazing, great job, that's what I've always pictured LotD as being like

There was a green scult of a LOTD model at games day UK with a helmet partially blown away with skull underneath.
Agree+1 that that would be a great idea for future works.

Just awesome.

If Deviantart knows what's good for them, this should make front page...

My first thought was "Damn that shimmer is cool". And I stand by it.

I do agree it might be a bit much fire, but it's definitely well done and hard to critique you on painting such impressive flames.

I'd love to see some wind effect on him and the embers floating around him. This could give you a chance to keep much of the same level of flame, but still show more of the armor under it all, while adding a little action to the overall scene.

Yeah, that's really cool. A lot cooler than any other LotD stuff I've seen.

Did you use a Wacom tablet? Any advice for doing this sort of thing with CS3?

I just creamed myself.

Fantastic artwork !

WOW!

haha well thanks everyone, I hope you didnt make to much of a mest ICESword

Hordini-I use a wacom tablet Intuos 3

Reganator-Id love to be front page but I doubt it, id need more favs and such to get there. One Day though, one day.

The flame effect is lovely, but it would be nice to see a bit more of the armour through the flames.

Says 'Flame Falcon' more than LotD to me, but it's a nice pic

To me the shoulders look funny, like they aren't level with each other. The bottom half seems a bit too much "space marine made of fire" and not enough legion of the damned, and if that skull is his helmet it's small. The chest seems a bit flat. Other than that it looks good, the fire is well done as is the imperial eagle.

This is amazing been following since you posted it the preliminary sketch with your nurgle marines. I think that the flames are amazing and fit well with the way the LOTD are supposed to "appear" on the battle field. Would be cool to see some ragged guardsman in the background looking in awe at him or have other LOTD marines appearing around him or even both

The limited run of prints are as follows.

there will be 25 total 11x17" prints made.

There will be 10 total 20x30" prints made (I believe thats the dimensions, im drawing a blank now haha figures)

PM me for pricing and details.

Cool pic............just as LoTD should be!

How... I mean where... I mean when... I mean who... I mean

WHAT?! This is a-fething-mazing.

If I could ever describe a Giant man compensating for his overbearing masculinity by waving around big guns and preaching about a guy on a giant golden toilet sexy... then this would be it.

Seriously, keep up the good work

thanks

That is simply amazing.

love it, except the helmet/head skull looks too similar to the other skulls, needs something to visually differentiate it

Awesome.
I saw this somewhere else yesterday and i was close to signing up to the board simply to comment on this thing.

And all I can now say is awesome (again). To me, thats how LotD should look. Cursed, burning, loads of fire. Forget flame iconography, theyre on fire. Very very nice.

this is getting me all excited
