I know it's a bit robust (maybe that's the word you were searching) for an Elf, but it's a Chaos Elf afterall, clad in heavy Chaos armour. You are not the first one to note the same thing; my brother pointed out the same. Imagine there's an ordinary elf under that massive pauldron.

I am not going to change it, however, I drew that spending one and half hours... ;)

Of course there's a chance. I have no "orders" currently under work, so I'll try to find inspiration.

But hasn't Maelstrom already drawn him?

Doesn't meen he cant be drawn again, you drew Gorganeth after mealstrom had.

On the Druchii anointed, the technical standard is still exelent but I found the pose a little akward, like he didn't realy know what he was doing and was just holding weapons for the hell of it. Also he seemed a little coverd up for a Slanneshii worshipor. (though I do aprove of him being male, I have never understood why slaneshii champions allways seem to be female)

Damn then. I hadn't seen Maelstrom's Gorgoneth.

I am not very good at making "action" poses. They always seem to fail. The former drawings are more or less in the same pose, as you can see. Good that the Anointed isn't anyone's character.

I am propably going to take a pause in drawing these... I am attending to a school camp for a week. After that, I'm back in action.

I hope that the Druchii are doing well in the campaign when I return. But Fingol, rest assured that Rackeith is the next one.

Wow, those are amazing! I think Dranial, Gorgoneth Th'Mor Zaces are the best ones however. Any chance of you doing Talus? ( I'll Pm you a description of him, if you want to do him. )

Well done! One comment: I think the swords & daggers should be a bit bigger, but that's just me...

Talus: Please send some description. I will start doodling right away when I get some.

Everyone: I'll try to draw as many characters as I can, so feel free to ask if you want your characters to be drawn.

I think I may try the aspect of the Demonic Bunny of Doom... ( Bet it would make a great model ) Or does that sound too Chaos and not enough Khaine?

Take the "Demonic" away and add "Bloody-Pawed"

Just imagine... Fear the Wrath of the Bloody-Pawed Bunny of Doom!

Ahem. Enough of this or Khaine will punish us with something...

Really liking the work so far.
However I’m just wondering, can you only draw in this serious style or can you do some great comical Druchii too?

I think I could, I have worked on a humoristic warhammer comic with Vanderghast a while ago, it pertained Orcs but yeah, I guess I could draw humoristic Druchii as well.

Finally, after a LONG while, i put out propably last Nemesis Crown piece of artwork- Lord Talus Nightwing as he himself described.

There has been a lot of other things, and actually this drawing has been on my desk quite a while, but now I finally scanned it and uploaded it.

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t252 ... 1188825520

I will draw portraits in the future, but enough of Nemesis Crown now.

requests of drawings can still be posted to me.

Still very good though he seems a little on the plain side, I would think Cold one knight rather than high born but if thats how he was described then thats how he is described. The cloak would look better with some movment at the moment it looks a little unatural as it hangs at an angle from his back but is still straight, a little wind would solve the problem.

The campaign has ended, but this thread shall still serve to show my portraits of you, dear druchii.netters.

Here are two new drawings.

Kaleth Sarradain, Servant of Slaanesh (Character by Khelmor)
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t252 ... 1189433464

Lord Ywriel Thanadryan (from my story)
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t252 ... 1189433486

Again, feedback is welcome.

The only (incridibly minor) point I can make about the latest two is that Ywier's chain mail sleave on the sword arm shouldn't cling to the body the way it does. Other than that briliant and the one of Kaleth is the best yet in my opinion.

Thank you so much Drainial. I am forever in your debt. You ever need someone assassinated you know who to call :P ;)

Apart from that, I am so glad with the result that i almost exploded with sunshine...as weird as that seems....

Remember, that I can also draw members of other races, too, as these two chaos drawings show:

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t252 ... 1189780439
http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t252 ... 1189780465

The beastlord would still need some finishing touches in my own opinion.

So, if you've got a Chaos Lord, an Empire General, an Orc Warboss or anything like that as your own character let me know if he needs to get to paper.

PS: I have to do some practise on Orcy anatomy though, the legs seem to be always too long when I draw them!

Could you try a wood elf? I think that you could do a realy cool looking alter noble (Ive tried but it never comes out remotly decent)

A wood elf is something I had never tried, but I gave it a shot.

Here's a duel between a Dark Elf and a High Elf, worked out with a pen. Very comic-style, and not as detailed as the pencil sketches of mine.

Your drawing skills are amazing, everything I've seen in this topic looks really cool.

If you are taking requests, could you do the infamous Lord Tareq Darksoul please? :D I would love to have artwork supporting his fluff.

Description; a scheming dark elf highborn high in his tower, his story is one of great tragedy. Once a noble warrior, he lost his eternal love due to his own failure. Fallen from the grace of Khaine by embracing Slaanesh as his diety (no visible tatoos though, no one knows) and thus cursed by the god of murder for all eternity. See also my signature ;)
Now it's been ten thousand years. Man has cried a billion tears.
For what he never knew, now man's reign is through.

But through eternal night. The twinkling of starlight.
So very far away. Maybe it's only yesterday.
