++ RUNNING LOG ++

+++ Greetings to those who have accidentally stumbled upon my blog. I'm a character artist in the videogame industry. I draw for a living and live for drawing. Do any kind of art work, freelance/commissions or contract. You may call me Kredous if you wish.

+++ Here you can see Warhammer 40K (Rogue Trader and Eldar mostly), my characters and other occasional art related to dark fantasy and grimdark. Sometimes dead dove.

+++ I love my characters so much, so I talk, draw, write and post about them a lot. A LOT. You were warned. 💀🖤

+++ MY CHARACTERS +++

>🖤 Nero Leeredorn von Venantius - Rogue Trader/Crime Lord >🖤 Saimarith - Drukhari Incubus >🖤 Adalfarus Leeredorn - Navy Captain/Seneschal >🖤 Heine Krey - Psyker >🖤 Castinus van der Roi - Arbitrator/Arch-Militant

+++ I recommend following me on Bluesky as well. Here on Tumblr, for example, I can't post suggestive art… like, men's nipples, apparently. I'm active on both platforms.

I'm new to the Warhammer scene (not sure how long I'll last with how extensive the lore is) and I've recently doodled up an eldar woman. Would you happen to have any tips on how to roleplay a craftworld eldar?

Probably I'm not the best person to ask about the Craftworld Eldars roleplay. I don't even have any original Aeldari character (yet). I have only one Drukhari.

I can only recommend books and games that might help you get ideas for your Eldar character:

"Path of the Eldar" by Gav Thorpe ("Path of the Warrior", "Path of the Outcast", "Path of the Seer")

"Howl of the Banshee" by Gav Thorpe

"Dark Son" by Gav Thorpe (mainly about a Drukhari Incubus but there Craftworld Eldar play the key role)

"Asurmen: Hand of Asuryan" by Gav Thorpe

"Wraithflight (Shield of Baal)" by Guy Haley

"Valendor" by Guy Haley

"Voidscarred" by Mike Brooks

"Farseer" by William King (just be careful with that. The book isn't canon anymore, but I still want to recommend it for well-written Craftworld Eldar characters.)

I also recommend reading TTRPG rulebooks and codexes like "Wrath and Glory: Aeldari Inheritance of Embers" and all the Aeldari codexes you can find.

And obviously (if you haven't played yet) video game "Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader" for Asuryani companion Yrliet and her personal quests. She can tell you a lot about her people.

Saro is a treasure. I want to make him smile all the time

Ive seen on one of your old posts that Nero covers up/hides the injection site on his neck. Why does he not do the same with the track marks on his arms?

Track marks on his arms look awful but normal for a junkie and do not raise any questions, whereas track marks on his neck appear more painful and sick. Nero simply wants to avoid questions about the injections he uses to turn his neck in such bad condition. Obviously, the injections are heavy drugs and not legal in the Imperium. Besides, the marks hurt. You can literally grab his nape and paralyze him with pain.

You can now choose lineart style if you prefer it look crispy or pencil-like ✨

Psst, Nero!

You didn't hear this from me, but I've just discovered a particularly damning secret about the late Heinrix Van Calox. If rumors are to be believed, when he gets too coiled in his own nerves, he'll start to sweat profusely 'round the nethers. And worse yet? It stinks of raw honey. Yes, you heard right. The Interrogator's bollocks reek from stem to stern and we've all been none the wiser. But you didn't hear this from me, eh?

+++ PICT-CAPTURE +++ Archmagos Dominus Vyrhale Oranox of Forge World Metalica arrives on Footfall in 002.M42, within the Koronus Expanse, to reunite with his custodial kin, Kassard Oranox.

A huge thank you to @kredous for bringing the Archmagos to life; capturing both him and his complexity so perfectly.

mental image of Nero staring at you like this when you give him a gift (idk what to give him... a knife?)

Booze, knives (anything that has a blade, really), xenos artefacts...

Though surely he'd always look at you like that only because he is a paranoiac piece of... but he'd appreciate it in the end. ~

Personal

I completely forgot to post it! So I've made another jewelry box. This time for @kredous!

This one was different. Not my best work. First time working with a new base shape. Original idea was different, but cutting the diamond painting the way i wanted, was impossible. Anyway, I think it came out pretty nice.

Not a lot details or gifts inside this time. But pretty neat in general.

[kredous]

Ioshk brought my dream of having a coffin-shaped box for my jewelry to life. 🥺🖤 Thank you so much again! 🖤🖤🖤

[kredous]

Slowly working on redesigning Nero's main outfit and adding new ones into his wardrobe. Eh. Love his resting face.

FEATURED ARTIST #2 | KREDOUS

PICTURED: Archmagos Vyrhale Oranox addressing the Magos Council upon Forge World Metalica, 974.M41. In this moment, the Arch-Dominus opposed a petition to permit unaugmented Imperium troops oversight of the sacred fleets of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Declaring such interference an affront to Metalica’s primary doctrines and machine-sanctified values, he required a mere 234 spoken words to see the motion struck from the record.

KREDOUS | Archmagos Vyrhale Oranox

To describe Kredous simply as talented would almost feel like an understatement. Words such as talented, insightful, and generous come close, although Kredous work stands out not only for their creative ability, but for the insight and care they bring to everything they make. Kredous was given little more than a rough concept of Archmagos Dominus Vyrhale Oranox and a brief outline of his personality. Despite the image displayed only being a work in progress, it already feels strikingly complete. The level of detail, atmosphere, and characterisation present at this stage is a testament to Kredous’ skill and creative instinct. The trust placed in Kredous was insurmountable, as Vyrhale is not just another character, but a figure of real significance to Jaal and the overall Gift Exchange event. Still, when Kredous’ was considered for such a commission, it was their portfolio which had already made one thing clear: they had the skill and imagination to turn Vyrhale's concept into something real. “Watching Kredous bring Vyrhale from concept to completion has been deeply emotional for me. There is a very particular kind of pride that comes from seeing a character who means so much to you handled with such care. Every detail feels like proof that Kredous truly saw who Vyrhale was meant to be and what he represents." —Jaal Even in the stark white of his robes, Kredous allows Vyrhale’s personality to come through, creating the sort of artwork one cannot help but want to frame. Kredous cares deeply about their art, and it shows in every stroke—as though no detail is too small to matter. Kredous will be gracing the Rogue Trader Gift Exchange with their participation in 2026.

Our featured artists are creators who are apart of The Gift Exchange community and have been commissioned to create pieces of art specifically for use within The Gift Exchange promotions and cinematics.
