Maybe your stuff just isn't grimdark enough...

GW has always been prone to making stupid decisions...
Especially with their "Muh epicness, moar epicness!" art direction. In a few years, they will probably drop all the characters and just use shoulderpads with guns as models

LOL... epic is literally in the description prompt for their test...

You'll get there eventually. Did they give you specific feedback?

Sorta...I posted this below.

Do you ever get feed back from their AD on why it didn't pass their standards? It looks great to me, I've definitely seen some more fan art-ish illustrations in their codecs.

Yeah, it's generic cut and paste feedback. Β I mean, this is a test, not an actual commission... any and all of these details can easily be addressed.
β’ This is the most important part. All art must represent the models, this includes armour and anatomy, down to the minute detail of shoulder pads and weapons (reference shots are supplied). It should also reference relevant iconography and heraldry wherever possible. (your picture doesn't do this accurately enough).
β’ Colours must be vivid enough to convey details and colour schemes accurately.
β’ Rendering on foreground figures must be very βsharp and detailed.
β’Β The tone should be brutal, epic and violent.

I don't get the whole "the art must represent the models, right down to the fine details" direction they're going in these days. Β Why not just use photos of the models instead?

I guess they kinda do in the modern versions of White Dwarf magazine, LOL... it's mostly gallery these days. Β Honestly, I've kinda given up working directly with Games Workshop.

Gotcha, nothing to specific except the heraldry/icon bit. For what it's worth it's an awesome image, you'll get in eventually I'm sure!

Or they just have no taste...a broad push on facebook with your heavenly host cover reached 1,272,068 people (lots in India), generated 91,989 likes/comments/shares. Β And since that wasn't reflected in the book sales...I think it means they really like your art!

Wow... I just checked it out... that's quite unexpected...Β Β Β Β

What, what whaaat?! How can they refuse your arts? Your arts are great just like the GW ones, maybe just brighter.

Yeah, I don't know what the "magic" GW formula is, LOL! Β Their 'feedback" is cut and paste generic (literally) that it really doesn't help.

If it is any consolation GW has published much worse art than this.

You know, I don't want to say anything about it, but I've looked through many a codex or random GW publication and have been quite surprised at some of the art quality I've seen...it was verging on mediocre fan art.

Thanks! Β Haven't gotten any responses from them yet, but they've been slow lately responding to emails.

Somehow the calm expression of the ork combined with how over the top the marine looks, made the whole thing quite comical to me.

Thanks for the comment! Β I guess I should work on the Ork's expression, LOL!

Thanks! Β Though I must admit I'm a bit wary about these guys... I've asked them several questions in the past week that have gone unanswered...
