This took me ages to do, I must say. A frined sent me through a screenshot of the Warhammer 40,000 cinematic of the last image, yet it seemed to empty. We needed some firepower, dead guys and other crap.

So, I drew the landscape and the flag and crawling Space-marine, then decided to bath most of it in shadow. It takes away a bit of detail but who gives a crap. It looks good to me :w00t:. Then I drew the ships, using the Warhammer ships as reference. Some Dreadnaughts added in, I thought it was looking good. Except I needed some action. I wanted to have a few different focuses in the image.

I couldn't find any reference of a dead space marine, so I just had to draw it myself. I did everything succesfully except the head, so I canned the head and decided to make him headless. Just Imagine his head exploded when he died or something ;)

I decided to add one more dying dude. I sketched up a space marine and added some blood for his headshot death.

So now I color. Color took the longest; I scrapped the boring old red color in the actual cinematic and went for a more bleak color. This way the detail stood out more.

27 hours work.

Done by hand! No photoshop filters used at all!

This is from Dawn of war the WH40K game... You added the war-hawks, the extra space marines, the dreads, and that's it. You didn't draw anything in this...

You are completely insane for not using Photoshop. Well done!
