Looks like the original artist ran out of ink before he was able to finish the drawing and future generations of lazy, copy-cat artists just kept replicating the error.
Besides... the blue is cool.

I'm not sure if you're playing this for laughs, or are serious, Gits.

A little of both. I think the silver arm looks odd and more than a bit incongruous. A silver pad with graven's beautiful blue colored arm below it would look much better (as would every one of these other examples if the color were carried through).

Good plan! Looking forward to how it comes out! Have you decided whether or not to have the third (closed) eye on the dead tau? As iirc there is no evidence on whether or not non-ethereal tau have them or not....again, thats if i remember correctly....
Yeah i remember you saying you were going to use Tau for something else later on, but with Chaos being used on your GK, and Deldar used for the Chappie, the only options 'left' are orks (too big to go on that itty bitty base imo ) and Tau...so it fits....
I would have liked the arm left silver......but the blue ink looks so good i like it this way too And that gold is masterful!

Dead tau is proving... problematic I have a new plan though, that involves a genestealer... And modifying his base somewhat.
Quick wip: Stealer will be emerging from the oily water

Still blocking in. Inks are much less forgiving than paint, pooling in surprising and frustrating ways. But still, progress.
Finished up the metals on the night lord possessed. Not 100% but it's been an interesting and informative experiment.
Got some primer on remaining PAGK, and might have another look at my =][= goons.

I can imagine that a fishhead wouldnt be the easiest thing to hollow out, but i applaud the ambition Genestealer out of a pretty spiffy looking oily pool? Hell yes! And if your new work with inks is anything to go by, i cant wait to see that Stealer....

Man this is absolutely awesome! Its not often I go through a long thread like this page for page. Keep it up!
"You have ruled this galaxy for ten thousand years, yet have little of account to show for you efforts. Order. Unity. Obedience. We taught the galaxy these things, and we shall do so again."
The more I look at this picture the more I find it puts me off.. scroll case in crotch area. Bad placement.. Magazine clip too small and the pistol grip is not quite sitting right. Neck cir. Breastplate opening is HUGE! But mostly it's the Poptart frosting squiggles on the PS. Otherwise cool! and he can always find his keys thou using them from where they are might prove intertaining
