... I used the faces on the Skaven models as inspiration. Maybe the problem lies there.
Nice pictures btw. They look so soft and cute. :3

Anyway, more hunch, more ratness! I will see what I can do.

Those look far too adorable to be used as inspiration for Skaven art.

I tried to give this guy more of a hunch, and also tried to make his face more rat-like than the previous ones.



As usual, all feedback is greatly appreciated and welcomed.

Very very highly commended. This is definitly your best yet. the hunch is there but not overly obvious and those boils look very well done... *nods* all in all a very good piece of artwork.

Looking at GW art might be a good idea as well. Here's a pics of some Skaven heads, also try giving them beadier eyes next time maybe even without the pupils.



Some pictures of rat's head facing toward the viewer.

@Marta: Thanks for the compliments. :3

@Cheesecat: Those are some very helpful pictures. Especially the GW ones.
I am still trying to add my own style to the drawings though (it's only fan-art), so please keep that in mind when my pictures don't look too much like a real rat/GW skaven.
Hopefully my next one will be more to your liking.

Great work! Best yet! Bravo! Its such a shame that I cant give you any more feedback than that, as I do not collect skaven

That's okay. I am glad you liked it.

My latest attempt.

Great work and pose on that last guy, you can definitely tell the little guys are Skaven in his hand.

Wow. I wish i could draw as good as you!

Thank you both. It took me a few days to finish this guy so I am glad he is being received well.

@orangeyaggy: It took me about 20 years of practise to get to where I am now, so get drawing and you will be better than me in no time.

This one is quite frankly, bloody amazing. Fantastic use of varying but consistent scale and second person view, additionally the front on facials of the Skaven appear to be unwarped which is anouther kudos to you Kimzi. All in all a very nice piece of art.
The Flaming Skull

Children of ye Horned Rat..
The sentence that entered my head by seeing it.

@Marta: Thanks. I worked really hard on this piece so it's great to see it appreciated like this.

@noobbomb: Yay! This was supposed to be an image of the Horned One himself, inspecting his little Skaven. It's always nice when people get it, means I finally did it right.
