Just a couple of pieces of artwork from the early days of Warhammer 40K that I recently colored. The first is by Russ Nicholson and the second by Pete Knifton. Both images are so densely packed with detail that they only required flat colors. Taking the time to go over them so minutely has given me an even greater appreciation for two pieces of art that I already loved.
It's been a true joy to work with these masters, even in this small way.

For me, a lot of Russ Nicholsons' battle scene artwork was far too busy for just B&W. There was so much going on that it just became a bit of a mess IMHO. The colourisation treatment that you've given it has improved it 10 fold. Kinda makes me wish that he'd made all of his battle scenes this way now. Imagine if he'd made graphic novel in that style. It would have been awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
They’re both lovely but the guard image is incredible
