Purge the Demon

Description

Yet another piece featuring the marines from the Exorcist Chapter of the Space Marines. This time doing what they do best! Purging the demon from the material realm!

Anyway, painting this piece was a wonderful adventure in learning about things that should have been done much earlier in the painting process. Such things like 'knowing exactly where all your point lights go before rendering' (remembering them in your mind doesn't count) and 'settling the overall structure of the background so you know what your ambient lighting situation is going to look like'. These are but two of the many things that I have to keep in mind if I want to see improvement in future works.

I also spent some time looking at muzzle flares and seeing how the gases that escape the barrel interact with the environment. While I don't think I nailed it completely in its execution, I definitely felt like I learned quite a bit.

A few more small things to note, the foregrip on the Bolter is inspired by ukitakumuki's work on Black Library series featuring Grimaldus and the Celestial Lions. The only difference is that I decided against putting the scope and swapped the sickle magazine for a drum type. (not that the drum magazine is all that visible anyway.)

I hope that everyone likes what they see and stay tuned for more (but probably less ambitious) stuff.

Have a great day everyone!
