These are some drawings I made whilst reading the different threads. img40.photobucket.com/albums/v124/Darkster/ASP/Highly conceptual, so nothing is final. Hope you enjoy. Ps. Any ideas for changes or modifications are highly welcome! Pps. Explenations for the different drawings might be up soon.. or later... or never. rawr

Damn! Those are pretty damn promising. Of course, most of them are too funny to actually find their way on our site (except if we have a humor section), but... Atlantans... that's a damn impressive conceptual scetch! The ones of the different Imperial citizens and soldiers are pretty promising as well, if a bit humorous (Cap'o'doom ;D ) The Ork ones are quite good also... What I think would be incredibly useful to the project, Darkizar, is that we use your abilities to come up for concept scetches rather than highly detailed works with extensive shadowing, etc. At least, you seem to be more comfortable with concept scetches. We need such concept scetches for a lot of stuff for the project, luckily. The things that first come to mind are - Imperial Guard regiments. The IG Codex (the latest and the one before that) has pictures of different IG regiments. We'd like the samething for the Anargo IG regiments. Pictures of the Dorvastor IG regiments with rebreathers, etc - Eldar civilians and tattoos. Kage can tell you more about this, and you'll find a lot of info in the Eldar forum - Chaos cultists. These come in all shapes and sizes... - Imperial civilians. What is Anargo fashion, what is Meksum fashion? We need pictures of the pale hiveworlders of Meksum, the bald stocky workers of Proteus and the the elegant and the elegant citizenry of Nagoma, to give the sector some soul!!! Are you interested in working on any of this, Darkizar?

Absolutely, it's what I came here for. I'll try to find the different threads about the regiments/people (Haven't seen them yet) and draw something... What I could need are some (if there aren't any already) more descriptions of day to day basis of the different people/regiments/etc. It wouldn't work if I gave fancy dresses to a people known for their barbaric drinking habits and fights, altough...
Stay happy

Hey, neat. Nice try on the Atlanteans, though they were intended to look more like THIS: www.pbase.com/image/25669943And thanks for noticing me.

Fantastic. Here's what I could dig up IG from Tryphon - See Planetary Defense Force. Skimming through the rest of the text might give you some clues about this people. They're very religious for example. Ritual scarring is common amongst the most religious. They come from a world that have mostly temperate or ice cold regions (so no desert fighters). IG from Dorvastor - The description on this page is actually of the Dorvastor PDF, but it should give you some clue about the Dorvastorian IG regiments. IG from Meksum - You should find what you need here. Tech-Guard of Proteus - I doubt you need to read any of this. You can probably guess what the tech-guard would look like. Lots of bionics and big, advanced guns and targeters. Terminator meets Universal Soldier As for the civilians, you should really read all the different Standard Representations. Here are the ones that have been finished so far. ProteusNagomaTryphonOther threads might have sufficient information for you too, like the Dorvastor and Meksum thread, but as the three above are the only ones with finished Standard Representations at the moment, I can't be sure. Have a look around though! Eldar Clan TattoosEldar non-military technology and imageryEDIT- By the way, Glyphstone, I do think you should reconsider Darkizar scetches (in my humble opinion. They're your creation after all). Perhaps a compromise between your scetches and the creature in the upper left corner of his Atlantan scetches?

Oh, and one more thing. Note that some of the worlds have been worked on more than others, and that there are a few worlds that I doubt will ever be finished (though I'd be happy to be proved wrong). Besides, it would be better to get a few worlds "finished" with scetches and everything, rather than have scetches for one world, some history for another and some Imperial Guard regiments for a third.... in my opinion

Perhaps a compromise between your scetches and the creature in the upper left corner of his Atlantan scetches? Actually, now that you mention it, the one in the upper left is great. The others I don't like so much, but that one's very close. Definitely much more detail on the head area, and far more skill than I can produce.

Better than nothing indeed ;D Starting with the Dorvastorites- pretty nice. It'd be cool if you finished the legs of the soldier one though Meksum Imperial Guard. Again, it would be very nice to see the legs. Also, most Imperial Guard regiments wear some form of flak armour. Not necessarily Cadian style though- valhallans wear thick great-coats with flak armour inside, for example. This Meksumian soldier seems to only be wearing a shirt though Even for a Light Infantry regiment, that's a bit on the light side Tryphon civilian. Pretty much just a floating head, but a good one If you do compliment the head with a body, keep in mind that Tryphon is a rather high tech world, so completely medieval style clothing might be inappropriate.... Did you forget to link to the tanks?

The Dorvastor ones I like, particularly the civilian. As for the Meksum guardsman, it may be a pre-combat picture, as I can't see them digging trenches in full body armour...

Looking good there. This page www.dread-zone.co.uk/anargo/regiments.htm could do with some more adding to it. As for the Proteans, I will be back onto them shortly. My current project (the Tribe) is nearly done model wise, the I'll be able to concentrate on the Tech Guard again. I already have some more sketches, they just need scanning and retouching.

The Dorvastorite looks good. Nice Imperial-pattern boots btw The Protean... doesn't look quite... right, I think. The anatomy seems to be a bit off, and the shoulderpads add to this wrongness. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I suspect it has something to do with a short neck, or the torso... Was this to show that Proteus is a high-gravity world, perhaps? Oh, and keep in mind that Tech-Guard would almost always have at least one type of bionics. Special weapon teams would often be connected with their weapons with cables from their head, and have bionic eyes that are connected with the weapon, etc. Perhaps, it would be better to do a new scetch, instead of trying to fix this? I don't know... As for the tanks, I was just mis-led by your comment "Tanks. Wroom." Btw, good to see you back, Zark! Can't wait to see those scetches

I hearby declare that Dorvastor chappie as a Brother of the Watch in outland gear. Would it be possible for him to have an autogun or simmilar projectile weapon, though?
He could be from the Guardian Bretheren, but I'm being selfish as I've got a drawing done and I'm keeping that as the "Definitive Version".
