Druchii in MANGA?

Post by Ramaj »

Sure enough I stumbled onto this:

It's a concept sketch by a Korean Manga (Manwha) artist. Not too shabby IMO :) ...

Why WFB Elves are great:

1. Malekith only has one arm ;)
2. Tyrion's 'monster' mount is a horse
3. Teclis drinks all the time
4. Morathi looks like she strips for a living

Nice. Based on the style of the picture's armor and weapons, It looks as though the artist is going for a general dark elf theme, and not a Games Workshop Druchii.
There is no escape from Chaos. It marks us all.

I agree, what struck me is that the aesthetics are awfully close considering it isn't a GW DE. With a few modifications you could have a very nice looking Druchii mini :P

Thats suprisingly good. I like that sword a bunch. The whole feel is just right on with the Druchii race.
Victory is measured in blood. Yours or your enemies.

Give them NOTHING, but take from them EVERYTHING!

It's...Silar :shock: . It just struck me, the resemblance to Malus' best 'friend' in the Darkblade comic is uncanny.

I like the illustration in a `comic` style. It seems easier to depict Druchii in a cartoony style than in a `realistic` style. His armour and sword look right to me, as does his features and expression. Sort of cruel and haughty. Nice.

I`ve always liked the Malus comics, and I reckon the Dark Elves in those look great, but I`ve yet to see a truely convincing illustration of a believably `real` looking Druchii.

Anyone seen any ?

NOt bad at all , but NOT Druchii enough for my taste.
Besides the pointy ears he looks not elf enough.

I think that looks good imo. I don't get to see hand drawn stuff relating to Warhammer, but that sure lets you appreciate it when you do!

BTW, if anyone has pics of their own PM the link to me. :)

Hey no bad word about the Tau ;)

IMO it's a nice piece of art. Not totally druchii, but a nice darkelf nonetheless.
Let your blades drink deep, my fellow executioners!
