Description
The unholy glade of the Beastmen, with a Wargor, Bray Shaman, Chaos Warhound, Minotaur, two Gors, Ungor and many minor monstrosities.Warhammer fantasy battle.Plagued not only with the everchanging energy of chaos, but also with the curse of the spiral.
Inspired heavily by the Qliphoth from manga "Berserk".
I know, I always has been making Bretonnians, but there was this one lecture some time ago when I wanted to draw something to not fall asleep, and I was out of references - so I couldn't make any horses - wchich was the next one in the quee for the brets. And so I made something I could always draw - chaos, with all it's twisting and monsters.
I also dared myself to mix the Warhammer reality with the idea of the curse of the spiral. After reading Junji Ito's manga Uzumaki one can never look at the spiral the same as before reading it. It's nothing strange that when I wanted to add some horrifying and disturbing elements I had just twisted some twigs and helixed the horns.
And think that I was going to advance slowly with my Warhammer oriented ink works... Last one's advancements were putting two people at the same time and adding a mere line of grass as the background. Hehe. And now this is the most intricate drawing I have ever made. Took a crapload amount of time to finish several stages of sketches, the lineart and the shading.
Funnily enough, about half of the shading was made when I was sleep deprived.
Done with pens of various companies, ranging from 0.1 to 0.8, on a technical A4 paper.

Tremendous fan of 3E Oldhammer/1E WFRP artwork and a fan of Beastmen in particular here, just wanted to throw some love your way for sharing such a gorgeous piece of artwork with us fans! Watched and hoping to see a resurgence of this style in the genre. Stamp and trample! Gore and crush!

Excellent artwork! Evocative and with care given to details and colourwork. Great style and mastery of ink. This truly is a forest of monsters, where beasts doth dwell. Given your deft hand at illustrating Chaos, you might be interested in knowing that Warhammer Fantasy have a community driven spiritual successor project under steam. Namely, The Ninth Age: www.the-ninth-age.com/
It is fully possible for previous Warhammer fanart to be submitted to T9A, and if their iconography doesn't constitute IP infringement they may well make it into full army books, full credits given. Obviously, such an ambitious project is always welcoming artists, for artwork is what makes or breaks a professional polished product. This is a chance to have one's fanart under an official stamp, and moreover to develop one's own styles for familiar archetypes.
Note that one has to post two comments on the forum before being allowed to upload images to the gallery (just post compliments in the army blog section or suchlike first if you would ever like to contribute).
Also, they've recently launched their first Art Contest, this time pitting Warriors of the Dark Gods against others: www.the-ninth-age.com/index.ph… Many more contests to follow in months and years to come if this catch on. Something for your talents and tastes, perhaps?
Just mentioning. In any case, great artwork! Have a good day.

This is really reminiscent of the artwork found in the old Chaos books from the late 80's/early 90's, "Slaves to Darkness" and "Lost and the Damned".
Those were really evocative and characterful pieces, and this follows suit splendidly!

Thanks! I especially worked with that, trying to make the herdstone glow and all, so it's good to hear someone appreciate it.

8 favs?
I hate deviantart. This is really fucking awesome
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And all of them were given only about 3-4 days after the submission. Yes, deviantart is a weird place.
And thank you very much, by the way

Dzięki! Miło mi.
Szkoda tylko, że przez pracę nad tym muszę teraz uzupełniać zeszyt z HAPu.

Całkiem klimatyczna praca.
Nie przeszkodziłoby ci jakbym spróbowała to pokolorować?

Z przyjemnością! Chętnię zobaczyłbym co jesteś w stanie z tego wykrzesać.
Jeżeli uznasz, że było by ci łatwiej, mogę wgrać też samego linearta.
Miło mi też, że ci się podoba.

Poczytałem "Uzumaki"... nie wiem dlaczego ale jakoś zajeżdża mi Lovecraftem XD
Osobiście jak się nudzę na wykładach to jednak odsypiam... sypiam też jak się nie nudzę... może dlatego, że z braku sprzętu nie mogę się zająć niczym pożytecznym

I właśnie dlatego co niektóre rzeczy Lovecrafta znajduje się na mojej liście "want to read". A na wykładach wolę jednak słuchać, bo czuję się zobowiązany do zbierania wiedzy - w końcu mamy się z niej wykazywać na koniec semestru.

Łaaa... Drzewo z przyległościami po prawej moim idolem. I w ogóle to podziwiam, chyba nawet mnie by się nie chciało xD
A ładnie to tak na hapie nie uważać? Pani profesor by Cię prześwięciła xDDD

Duże dzięki. Tak już mam, że czasem lubię się pomordować przy jednej pracy przez kilkadziesiąt godzin.
A odnośnie pani profesor - tylko zyskałem tym rysowaniem - nie zasypiałem i przynajmniej jednym uchem mogłem słuchać. Jakbym nie rysowował, to bym spał i w ogóle bym nie słuchał...

Thank you very much. Yes, it took a crazy amount of time, but most of it was during lectures on the university, so I didn't waste much of it.
