The sculpt if faaaaar from done but I wanted to work on the materials to get a better idea of where I am going, *I imagine a layered and weathered armor that has been repaired and repainted many times( like a WW2 tank). My thinking is that that even on fresh recruits these aren't new, because the armors are so rare and precious it would be costumary to wear already used or salvaged pieces.  Will add tons of damge , dirt and crap.

I love the gothic over the top vibe of WH40k but this guy  is gong to be simple and quite tactical , more like a special force guy then a religious zealot.

Some more chipping away during the WE. The hands suck , the relic sucks , the damage is meh, lots to figure out still. but it is quite relaxing :)

The shapes of a space marine are deceivingly hard. Trying to figure things out :)   and it still looks shitty and stiff but it is the way.

Can't wait to texture him ! 

Space Marines are cool. there are hundreds of them on artstation , it has been done many times a lot better then I ever will be able to but I don't care :) 

New evening/week-end project. Still trying to shape things out, I might go for a semi realistic / painterly look to try out something new and bring some originality to the piece. I am working without a specific concept but I will try to stay really close to the ip  and to some beautiful illustrations I have found..

the emperor protects! 

almost done, made a material for the shoulder pad ingravings, still have to create a decent patern.

Started rigging so that I have something to work with other than the "Tpose" , as was expected it's very painfull and slow. At least I found my Ngskintools license.

the shoulder protection thing looks horrible , will have to sculpt in zbrush

still quite a lot to do and missing the jewelry

still wip but almost finished
