Amazing, what tools did you use to create this ?

**Timonth**

My idea of what Sly Marbo looks like:

Chilling in a tree, keeping his eyes on a group of catachan moving below him through the jungle.

And I dont know if this guy is 40k, but I began drawing him and then it went a little in the way of a Vostroyan Firstborn. Without a moustache.

I drew both in Photoshop Cs4, using basic body shapes that you can find online. I use them as armatures so to speak, the rest is all drawn by myself.

**grob the immortal grot**

Liking Marbo, looks like hes gotten bored stabbing himself and is watching as the catachans below him are being eaten by tyranids.

Second would be a graphics application. I personally use and prefer photoshop. You can probably find an older version for cheap, not to mention there are "other" ways to get photoshop. However, there are other apps like Painter, Painttool SAI, Gimp, OpenCanvas, ArtRage... all have their good points.

After that, find some digital painting tutorials online to watch and learn, get ImagineFX magazine (lots of good tutorials, etc). Always keep your eyes open for new techniques you can try and learn from.

Also, I have a quandary. What would be a good opponent for a spartan AND a space marine?

good apponant for a spacemarine would be alien or predator or my personal favoraite nuclear pimp

**nickmund**

oooff my fingers bloody well ache after this one

**vignor**

I Feel kind of embarrassed To post some of my stuff on here after seeing some of these marvelous art works But why the FETH not... these are sketches i am doing over in the back ground forum for Mr.nids SM chapter Emperor's Shields Any one Wants To be a marine should come over and contribute Fluff for the chapter should come over to the thread

Thanks, and I generally work digitally. Sometimes I do pencils and scan as well, but not as much. I can block out ideas a lot quicker on my tablet.

As for who wins, hopefully I can make it an interesting battle

I'm guessing you have a very bad ass character concept for the Spartan, but I honestly can't see how it'd be anything close to a fair fight... Spartan level weaponry wouldn't even be able to scratch power armor >_>

**nickmund**

Maby he'll have to give the Astartes a handycap

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Jolly D work chaps!

enjoy

Also the work on here is so awesome really need to get a graphics tablet !

**nickmund**

awsome!
That Wraith lord kicks serious arse.

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Wolf
Could be worth considering.
I have a Bamboo that iwasn't too expensive.
But as I don't do a lot of computer drawing it suffices for my needs more than adequately. A more expensive one would have been wasted on me.

Eh, we'll see

I have a few ideas as to how getting around the tank-like armor of an astartes would be possible for a Spartan, if everyone agrees with me or not will be the question, heh.

He might have a chance, we'll see!

/facepalm

I went on your site earlier and you only had the first 3 pictures up... I saw Spartan vs Space Marine and tho you mean those spartans.... who while cool, certainly wouldn't stand a chance.

This now makes a lot more sense.

Very nice work.

This thread isn't too old so its better to post here rather than start a new thread.

I finally got around to drawing some 40k fan art, but I have to warn you all it has a touch of heresy and it might I don't think it dose but it might rape the fluff just a little.

Its the Scout Sargent for my Fox Scouts (aka space wolves scouts) its a work in progress

spoiler just in case its too much heresy for some people, C&C is always welcome

**marauder6272**

Here's a few doodles of mine

**fox-light713**

I take it you like orks, nice work btw.

**daedalus-templarius**

I should have something new to post about SPEHHSSS MARIINEEZZ here in the next couple days. Life has been kind of gakky for the last week and I didn't get much done.

**nickmund**

Freakin' ace! love the Ork in the commisar gear.

**daedalus-templarius**

Moar

SPEHHHSSSS MARIINEEZZ first, of course

**Dark**

`I'm loving those orks.

I have a picture in the "freezer" that I did at work/class some time ago, but I need to find first what the marines that serve ont he Wolfguard have on their left shoulder pad, as it's blank at the moment.

**nickmund**
