Struggle, challenge and rise to draw again

Your chaotic good friend trying his best! Art, comics, folklore, cryptids and horror.

Ive been working on a Traitor Guard piece during my lunch breaks recently. I’m finding Lasguns are harder to draw than Bolters.

Do yall fw evil women?

I drew the type of pamphlet you'd get dropped on your head while eating a bowl of cold Corpse starch.

(Commander Farsight would sooo not approve this)

I wanted to draw a cheeky flyer idea that got into my head that I thought would be pretty funny to print and put on some 40K terrain! I put my sketch process in the following images! I use texture paper and retro brushes and gritty textures from Retrosupply for these effects!

[thelenroman]

I was inspired to draw something different! A drawing made from the POV of the Child Chapter Master Kantor saved during the Rynn’s World Novel. It’s inspired by the Catholic Folk Art people would make when a saint would grant them a miracle, as an offering of thanks!

I drew it with my non dominant hand using a crayon brush to imitate what a kid would be able to do. Also heres what I used for inspiration

Finished this piece. I wanted to draw an alternate cover to one of my favorite warhammer 40K books “Rynn’s World”. I planned the vibe to be a pulp novel you find at a thrift store that’s worn & well loved but has a lot of life left to give just like my Crimson Fists.

I had one of my friends reach out to me to design a propaganda poster for their Leagues of Votann Army for a future narrative campaign and this is what I came up with!

The process -> They wanted me to use their Votann character and their NASA inspired color scheme! It worked out great! I ended up making the space behind her inspired by the art of Jack Kirby’s retro comics with a “reaching for the stars” vibe

Looking back to some of my favorite work lunch break doodles I’ve made lately

[thelenroman]

Christmas Eve lunch break sketch! I almost finished it but I was so locked in I used my last 10 minutes to finish my food instead. Crimson Fist battle brother bringing gifts to the children on Rynn’s World! I hope today and tomorrow are kind to us my friends.

My new apple pen tip feels a little weird from my last one and it’s throwing me off so I’m gonna call this illustration finished, Sister of Battle enjoying an iced coffee as Fall ends before returning to the horrors of war.

[thelenroman]

Finally finished this Blood Angel illustration! I only wish I could paint hazard stripes on my models as well as I can on these drawings.

[thelenroman]

I finished the designs I’m gonna put on some postcards for this Halloween. I went with some Ben Cooper style vinyl 80’s Halloween Costumes inspired by Space Marine 2, I have Lieutenant Titus and a regular blueberry I wish I had more time to draw more kids as Gadriel & Chairon

[thelenroman]

People were redrawing cute ships from this Kare kano frame so I decided to draw a Sister Hospitaller administrating vital first aid to a Sister from Our Martyred Lady

[thelenroman]

Couldn’t sleep so I stayed up finishing these Skaven Clanrats from Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Never drawn Skaven before but I like them!

[thelenroman]

Back it again with another Farsight Enclave propaganda poster I created, this one heavily inspired by Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid.

The vibe I’m going for is a poster that’s mass produced quickly and in secret in Imperial held worlds encouraging humans to defect to the Farsight Enclaves, the artist of this poster I’ve imagined in my head would be a human that’s bought in from the stories they’ve been told about Farsight and took artistic liberties in giving him that cool looking eyepatch.

[thelenroman]

I wanted to redesign some classic WW2 propaganda posters but with the Farsight Enclave Tau Faction from Warhammer 40k, specifically their auxiliaries!

[thelenroman]

On my lunch break and I saw this image on Twitter so you know I had to draw my favorite Warhammer Girlkisser doing the pose….Inquisitor Katarinya Greyfax!

[thelenroman]

I finished drawing the buff and beefy Sister of Battle! Meet Sister Arcadia! The pride of her Squad, they say she’s so big and strong she can carry a Sister on each shoulder and still wield her Bolter or Melta with surprising accuracy! She was incredibly fun to draw 🙂

[thelenroman]

Trying to get a handle on drawing the Adepta Sororitas traditional Bob haircut. I’m drawing them in panels in the style of retro inspired Drama and Romance comics. These are the first two!
