Description
"You'll soon learn to love the Path I made for you"
Finally some blasting warhams! And in good tradition of my "danke schon" pic, I give you - BOOBIES)
And yeah, I like drawing my character kicking ass and boobies, don't I?
But for this faction, it's a rarity, so whoop-de do. Torturer found himself some Eldar women. Even though alien, they seem to have a suitable anatomy. He just loooves Howling Banshees as he sees their disabilitating war screams as particularly intense and satisfying.
Also, inspiration track for this pic: "[link] "
So, I've been working on this for quite a while. It's my first foray in a complex, fully rendered multi-character illustration, and damn, was it hard. The attempty to convey movement, perspective AND a background. It's also a first time where I drew Eldar armor - and I did a damn fine job, considering I scrapped the design from many previous existing ones (and thanks to , from who'm I've sorta borrowed the helmet look).
But I see progress here. Real fucking progress, and I don't give a shit it's fanservice or something like that. I've churned out a quality image I'm absolutely happy with. Theme, presentation - whatever.
Couldn't do it without you guys. So I'll take this time to thank everyone that comments, faves and features my work - you're the thing that keeps me going and making me improve myself. 188 thousand views - not bad for a person that doesn't draw anime, don'tcha think?

So for starters, this is a piece that seriously needs to be viewed at max-resolution - for one because size-compression creates horrific aliasing, but also because it really is gorgeous to look at, overall.
So that's the first bit with this: it looks great. The palette is smart, eye-catching, vibrant, and overall very effective. You've got my eyes traveling over the details in something roughly approaching ocular ecstasy - which I think is a great way of describing the intended effect.
However, beyond the center of the picture the details begin to thin out. The coloring of the ship in the distance, for instance, (ha!) is not nearly as blended as it is with, say, our three fellows up front. The ground is sort of this lazy-looking, indistinct river of brown tones. The two dead Banshees off to the side aren't even that distinct - they're sort of half-done, just sitting there, an afterthought lost to another afterthought. The weird, half-overturned structure just standing there looks like it's meant to be some example of Eldar architecture, but it's not entirely complete.
And I'll just comment that when one can see a planetoid at that size from ground-level, it means some pretty bad shit's going to happen to the world the viewer is standing on. Just
Torturer looks absolutely amazing. Every bit of his armor is exquisitely-rendered, and his overall pose is really nice. I have to wonder, though, just how easy it is to maintain a posture like that with the weight of those enormous turbofans strapped to his back, seemingly also in idle.
Now here are the problems with his overall design:
The spike with the Imperial Fist head on it is sort of lolrandom, appearing to jut out from the center of a speaker-grille - furthermore that head itself is kind of questionable, as the dude's tongue is sticking out of the air-filter, along with the whole front of his face. Given the design of the helmets, both here and in-general, it would imply the dude's got a snout.
That gun that Torturer has strung across his crotch -- the one with the little vial of goop sticking out of it -- looks really stupid the way it's positioned, because I get the feeling that if he moves his left leg wrong it'll snap that thing in two. It looks really impractical and overall isn't particularly necessary.
So, the Eldar:
The two's armor suits look great - a departure from the standard design, but innovative. The shuriken pistol on the right is a bit more separated from the standard Eldar aesthetic, with a clunkier overall shape that I'm not sure really suits the Eldar's tendency for sleek and weapon designs.
The one on the left has some questionable posing, but overall looks great. Really vibrant colors, though the war mask looks a bit too big.
The one on the right has a really great pose, but that's sort of where my good thoughts end. She looks really fucking weird. The absence of her mouth-filter is extremely strange and kind of an odd way of getting to her face, since Aspect Warrior war masks tend to be just that - masks that connect to their armor, singular pieces. Her eyes are way too large for that face (hell, that skull) and her ears are too big as also too big to look good. The pieces the tentacles are taking off don't seem to fit anywhere on her body, either. Her breasts are kind of lumpy and slightly misshapen, too. I have some slight grief as well with the skin-tones on her torso being strangely-lit overall.
I'll also comment that it seems odd he managed to also take off the suits' underarmor bodyglove as well without removing the rest of the plating.
So, some nitpicking aside, this is a fun piece to look at. I'll have to argue the point of calling it your best so-far, but it's nice in-general.

If these were Imperial women, then Cailean would give a damn and pound Torturer's face in.
However, that doesn't stop me from critiquing. First and foremost the vivid display of colors with the Eldar is what impressed me the most. The colors, look, and detail into the Banshees are fabulous and I can tell your advice from Sokil (sp?) paid off. One thing troubles me, and that's the lack of the look of terror from the Banshee without a mask. Unless she's submitting herself it just doesn't seem very fitting for what is to become of her. And while I have to make it a compliment sandwich, I'll add with a question about the Engine of Obscenity (pinkish hull?). How close is it to Torturer, or how high is Torturer up from base level? I assume it's just overhead, but want to be sure. I've also said it before, the Blood Angel's helmet also looks somewhat boxy, but I understand that's also your technique and go with it.
Now for moar good. Since you're a stickler for it, body positioning fails not, especially with the helmeted Banshee, as if you caught her mid air. Your own appearance with jointed legs and a merciless grin in your mask alludes to the fear and terror aspect you heretics are so fond of. Gory as always with the severed Fist head and what's about to happen to the Eldar. I love what you did with your powerfist too, the clenched fist displaying dominance and utter debauchery to follow. Well done for a 188K appreciation pic...of course this is before Cailean vaporizes your body and soul.a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/p/sā¦ " alt=" " title="spacemarineplz"/>

But since it's Eldar women, it's AWWWWRIGHT?) Hehe.
Ah, it wasn't advice, it was blatant design burrowing - with my customization of course.
To answer your question about the Banshee, I'll just say that you have to pay attention to detail, that's the whole point - look, and you'll see that she is being strangled and suffocated with a tentacle. Therefore, had already slipped into a blissful state of near-unconciousness, where a person doesn't really care what's going to happen to him/her. Hence the open mouth, etc.
Ah, don't ask about the ship. I threw it there on the latest stage, as you know, so it's just there to make the composition pretty)
Durr hurr, we'll see who evaportates who
š: 0 ā©: 1
Sure is.
Ah...customization, roger. Yeah upon second look I see dat stranglin' so now the look is more understandable. I'm sure Proto's already feeling the butthurt from that one.
Never mind what I said about the ship.

I've looked for and found this pic a thousand times and still stop to admire it. A person asks me about Chaos and I say, "Hold up. Let me show you something." And show them this... the eyebrows that raise... and I tell them, "That guy is an enemy. Yes your starting in Ascension because THAT might be what sneaks up on you while you sleep, oh yes." They start learning hymns to the Emperor awfully fast after that thought. Heh. Torturer is my official Poster Boy for Chaos, for newbies and veterans of the verse alike. Hope you don't mind that fact, but there really is no one better, in my opinion. Torturer is just so perfect in every awful, terrifying, and sadistically beautiful way imaginable.
š: 0 ā©: 1
That's flattering to hear, because what I meant Torturer to be is a non-stupid, non-cardboard Chaos Lord which are mostly absent in the lore.
š: 1 ā©: 1
No kidding. People seem to fail horribly in realizing how much of a threat Chaos really is. Torturer gets their attention every time though. He is just the perfect villain.
Oh hells, that reminds me. I've got an Eldar player that thinks her character is going to blow away everyone... heh... I wonder how she'd cope if I linked her to this with the caption "Just remember he's out there in the galaxy too." ? <.<' I dunno. I think she might quit my campaign the moment she saw. Not that I would blame her. He's one scary son-of-a-b*tch.
Torturer's just the kind of character that you know if someone ever met him, and survived the incident, they wouldn't be able to get him out of their heads until the day they died. A memory turns to a nightmare, and nightmare into an obsession, and pretty soon they'd either kill themselves to escape the thoughts, or fall into corruption and end up effectively idolizing and worshiping him. <_< Oh the number of imperials his mere presence has driven insane in the verse is probably astounding.
Which reminds me. Would I be allowed to use Torturer as a potential villain in my campaign? I'm not sure that even I am cruel enough to do so, but if the scene fits, I'd love to see how they react. Of course they won't kill him. Everyone knows true evil never dies. 
š: 1 ā©: 1
I'm a bit curious how he would react to someone.... thats more curious about him than all "ARG, IM GONNA KILL YOU!" or flat out scared.... cuz honestly, I get curious about things that look like this... and fascinated by it as well >_> likely not good for me but meh.
š: 0 ā©: 1
Nope. Not good for you at all. A sure sign of impending corruption, in fact. I guess you'll just have to be purged for that at some point. You know, to save your soul and what-not. XD

I'm rather curious about those weird tentacle things. How exactly does he make those Lovecraftian devices?

After seeing this, I had a dream with your Torturer guy in it.
I was terrified.
And I thank you for it.

mmmn, depending on how sharp those spikes are.. I'm not too sure it could be called that... well, if I were them at least, LOL!

Looking at the picture, I'm curious as to how the discs in the pistol go from a vertical standpoint to a horizontal one in the barrel, I may just be nitpicking, but I find it irksome.

Whilst I feel sorry for the eldar they should not dress like that so...

I love this. The colors, the composition. Simply fantastic.

I'm... In utter awe. The artwork aside, I adore how you've rendered Torturer, and I find myself getting lost in the details. In fact, I got so lost I didn't even register the whole Slaaneshi-tentacles-of-doom encroaching on Eldar territory, there. The colours are vibrant and eye-catching, and while the background is vague I find myself not caring, as it seems like it's there to tie things together and not be a focal point.
I can't say too much more, honestly. Speechless, favourited, watching, and recommending to other Warhammer/Artist friends.

very cool art. but fluffwise you would need to get them out of their battle-trance, or they won't be very ... receptive.
