i adore your pinkmarines theyre so awesome

Thank you. This is brother chaplain Rosmarinius. He appreciates your compliment MORTAL. Let’s see what’s going on in his head in the aftermath of BRUTAL SLAUGHTER IN THE NAME OF LOVE AND THE EMPEROR.

Oh. Well maybe we can come back to him later

I feel the urge to shake up a can of coke real good and give it to harpy. Need to see him shocked and dripping with soda.

Thankss! I think he hated it…. :(

[revenantwyrm]

Duuuude I absolutely LOVE your artstyle 💜💜💜 you make drawing big bulky armor so easy 😭

(Skrimps showed me ur stuff and he got me further developing my only 40k OC, turning her into a chaos aligned oc, and drawing her as I type this 🫶)

Thank you soooo much! I really appreciate this! I feel like I am still learning big bulky armor every day honestly. I’ve only been into Warhammer for like…uhhh…5 months? And still I have so much to learn.

How I have started doing it when I am in my like, big design phase, is focus on the outline of what you want before filling in the details later.

It at least helps somewhat too if I keep things cartoony….hahaha

I’m glad you’re putting love into your 40k oc I’m sure she’s so awesome! 🧡🧡🧡

Only if you want to but can I hear more about the heartsworn chapter you came up with?

Also regardless your art is amazing!

Glad you like my lovemarines!! Hehehe. They’re a bunch of sweeties, really. Their mutations are seemingly minor, especially for where they are established, just outside of the Ghoul Stars. They really don’t hold a candle to anything you’d see even in successors of the Blood Angels.

Here are some proud marines for the Heartsworn! Note the eyes and lovey dovey smiles.

They’re like lovebirds…they really prefer to stick together. When they offer up their most technologically advanced for training on Mars amongst the priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus, they have to send two or more, to avoid their men falling into deep melancholy and panic.

You’ll often find lovemarines decked out in carved pink moonstone beads and handwritten purity seals and golden rings inscribed with love notes, all little gifts from their squadmates and admirers. The older marines have so much, they face the devastating task of trying to manage where it all can safely go without being lost or forgotten.

The most important thing to a Heartsworn is quality bonding time with his fellows. Often, whole companies will take time together when not in preparation for combat or active military leave. Their rare free time is spent in close physical contact with one another; often laid out on large cots, free to lavish praise for successes and support for failures after a mission. They repair armor together, they polish weaponry together, they prepare for the next coming day together. Relaxing touch and reaffirming talk is common.

There is a natural hierarchy which each Heartsworn is raised in and trained in, and consent is openly discussed and respected. Not even necessarily for intimacy, but for general contact. No shame is felt, so there is no fear of being hurt, so to be told no is a natural and healthy thing.

Interestingly enough, they barely interact with their human serfs or servitors, even if such beings delight in being so close to their astartes. They truly only have care for one another, and are cold otherwise…

Andddd that’s all I have energy for rn, but thanks so much for the ask! I’ll write more and draw more for them again soon! ❤️❤️❤️ amor vincit Omnia!

Hello! Have a nice day, guten tag, hi, zdravstvuite! You draw amazingly!!!

I have a question about the Harpy, sorry if you've already explained it. What's with his eyes?

Is there lava inside him, and his eye sockets are empty? Do his eyes just glow with fire? Are his tears lava? Do the tears burn him/other living beings/objects? Can they be wiped away, and if so, what will be left on the handkerchief?

[revenantwyrm]

Noo don't cry! Can I throw birthday corpse starch at harpy?

Tantrum crisis averted

[revenantwyrm]

Sorry if I'm being annoying I would just like to say

Beloved heartsworn!

That's pretty much it. I really like your concept and art even if it's got nothing to do with those fun little guys (Massive freaking dudes)

Thanks for answering my earlier ask!

Omg not annoying at all. Ill take any and all opportunities to talk about fun little guys.

For example, here is how the Heartsworn interact with each other usually lololol thanks for the support!

--

[Two pink lovemarines in a ships hall. After slightly above standard number of helmet bonks and gauntlet touches, one goes to his belt pouch and removes a weapon carved from bone.]

"I took this for you, and perfected it."

[The other realizes it is from the body of a FILTHY XENOS BEAST that they slaughtered just the other cycle. His battle-brother must have seen him eyeing the remains after they had finished TORCHING THE BODY TO ASH.]

"Ah, you have carved...us, together, upon the filthy creatures femur bone, standing atop its corpse. And made it into a dagger. But...I have nothing to exchange in turn! 🥺"

[The recipient is delighted, yet despondent. He is met with another helmet bonk.]

"All is well. It is meant as a token of my affections. No recompense is needed."

[All is right in the world.]

"Brother..."

[Now to plan a return gift.]
