[::: Swooping Hawk Exarch, Warhammer 40K [FANART] :::]

I think it looks better in fullview, btw. Otherwise you lose some of the detail

Uhm ... Swooping Hawk, an aspect warrior from the Eldar army. I've always liked the aspect warriors, thought they were pretty cool. I've always likee dthe dynamics of the swooping hawks in particular, so i thought i would stretch myself to do a full pic. Thinking about it, theyre probably my least favourite aspect (haha) (ps, warp spiders rulz!) but ... i felt like doing it for some reason. And, to answer all the questions i had on my previous WH40K stuff - i've been into GW stuff since i was about 8, i've always loved the ideas, atmoshpere and universe, but i've never had the time, money or space to do it properly. I have a couple of codexes and the rulebook and all the modelling gear ... but not much else. It's a bit of a strange relationship i have with it. I never know whether to say i do it or i dont, simply because ... its neither XD anyway

I don't really know how long it took. Between 5 and 10 hours, thats about as accurate as i can get. Probably didn't take as long as it felt - and a lot of it was pure labour, like shading the gun in *yawn*. The lineart and structure took about half an hour, and the rest was just me simply scribbling. For ages.

The bg and some of the character work was done digitally, but most of it is plain old BIC Biro. I'll submit the original biro sketch later.

I'm pleased with it, mainly not so much with the actual picture, but because i was determined and patient enough to actually sit and do it.

Thanks all meh watchers/people for all the support recently, without it i doubt i would have done this piccy !

All comments welcome and appreciated. Thanks!
