My interpretation of a violent and angry khornate woman. I thought that a cute, supersexy anime style with giant tits and eyes that are bigger than the rest of the head wouldn´t fit.

You make a good point there, while my priestess of Khorne wouldn't be a butch dyke she wouldn't be an uber kawaii bimbo either.

I´m most definitely not the right person to judge others art, but while we speak about it: To me personally, the biggest amount of witches, priestesses, magic girls and fantasy women in general became kind of repetative and exchangeable. It´s like looking at the same face, the same proportions and the same poses over and over again.

Checklist
-glowing eyes
-one hand open with lightnings and glowing
-long hair, the longer the better
-if evil: black, purple
-show as much boobs as possible
-has to wear a wide dress, flattering in the wind
-always smiling or fletching teeth
-don´t forget magic stick
-long, long, long legs
-add runes and lens flares
-....
(I know there are exceptions,, no need to show me)

Don´t get me wrong, most of them are executed very great and I think I´ll never reach this technical level, but what I´m kind of missing are some brave new concepts or attempts to go new ways. 
I also think, that the main idea counts more than the way it is done sometimes. The idea itself is the important thing, while the visualizing to portrait it is important too, but it´s just a tool to transport the idea itself.
But I guess I´m just bitching. Or this is just an attempt to excuse my own low skills.  
I dunno...

I see your point, while the last thing i want to do is pander to the "angry fat feminist" crowd by making all my women ugly brutes it is nice to see unconventionally grotesque or monstrous looking females in fantasy now and then. Everybody has to right to draw their characters however they want and that should be respected.

So stell ich mir einen Priester von Khorne vor

Ich wollte sie hart und kantig machen und rausgekommen ist dieser recht maskuline look. Der aber wiederum für eine Blutpriesterin perfekt ist...

Thanks. I try new stuff. But I need more practice. And I have to learn more about everything.

Reminds me a bit of a Dark Elf(note not Dark Eldar) Witch Elf...but that's an inevitable coincidence, seeing  the Witch Elves originally worshipped Khorne as Khaine...

Great picture by the way!

As a worshipper of the blood god, will she also do the bloody dishes?

Nice work, love to see your style evolving. Rome was not built in a day (it only burned down in one)

Empyronaut In reply to Minisnatcher [2016-10-14 17:25:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the encouraging comment...

And yes, she does your dishes. She´ll wash them with your blood and dries them in the hot air of your last breathe...

now I have an image in my mind  of her having just decapitated Mister clean and the blood running from his body being used to mop the floor

Looking for a clean emoticon I found this one   Seriously, there are other people with weird thoughts out there, good to feel not alone

This is a really good = )
I like the realistic approach.
New vibes- when an artist tries out something new is always good, as long he's trying to improve himself.
That's not always pleasing his audience, but for me personally, pleasing / improving himself comes first.
Long story, short told.
I like it.
Mooooooaaaaaar of this kind of style pleeeeeZe = )

Thank you, but in my eyes it still needs a lot of improvement. And it`s quite time consuming, compared to other stuff. I guess I need much more experience, training and most of all: some instructions and techniques.

But I won´t focus on it completely right now. There is still a lot of other stuff to do and I see it more like an "Abendschule" or "Weiterbildung"...

Yay, german rocks! English saugt Arsch!

Hey let me tell you something man, the mix of both worlds is usually the way to go, in the end of the day you are branching out and trying new things, it is never a bad thing, just remember that my friend.

Thanks for the feedback man. I know you´re not talking too much on this site (at least you mentioned it once), so the fact that you wrote this means something to me.

May the Warp be with you...

Thanks bro.  

As a nurglish kind of guy myself, it has hurt me a little to draw and write this, but maybe there will be a happy ending to the atrocity she commited someday.

Poor Papa...

Poor Nurgy indeed... but don't worry! How about a Nugle-corrupted Living Saint to cheer you up?
