Sarpedon

Please full view!!

Based on a character created by Ben Counter from the Warhammer 40000 book "Soul Drinker".

A comission for a friend who makes Warhammer minitures. He wants to make a miniture of this guy but needed something to base it on, so I drew this up for him using a couple of reference pictures and a written description. It took a long time, an' I'm pretty pleased with how this came out... - I've never done anything remotely like this before -_^

I learnt a lot from this.. an' thought I might put together a "working stages" piece together to stick in my scraps if anyone's intertested.. it would basically show the stages this picture underwent before it got to this level of finishedness.

I know there are errors (terrible hands mainly... other slight shading issues) but as I said, I've never done anything like this before, and I don't render stuff up by hand like this too often.. so please be gentle.

is it just me, or are there not a lot of female warhammer artists out there? o.O
