[weary python]

Hm, dont think Gloryhunter is that great though

[distant kestrel]

I've seen that one in game, it's more blue than the grey

[errant ermine]

Holy shit. I once had three Daemonhosts spawned each per 5 mins, not all of them at same time.

[fleet path]

Is that the max ammo you can ever get on a boltgun?

15/80?

[weary python]

Think so, yeah

[untold rune]

Art , look wat vet is saying lol

[void forum]

Live veteran reaction

[fleet path]

yo anybody with some good academ art knowledge can help with composition? been paiting adepta sororitas piece for months but feeling like its straight up gonna be waste of time due to being a waste of idea

[crimson cosmos]

One will be available to buy at level 28 or 29 (i forget which one)

[torn basin]

Sketched this out a few weeks back. Bit rough but just love the atmosphere of the game so much, wanted to paint something with the same atmosphere 😄

[distant kestrel]

Been lvl 30 for a while now

like.. since the second or third day lol

[rustic jewel]

holy fuck that’s gorgeous

[torn basin]

Thanks!!

[slow haven]

awesome !

[torn basin]

I tried to channel some god emperor and a tiny pinch of heresy

[fleet path]

If your playing guardsman you should rather take autogun

[crimson cosmos]

What makes you say that?

[junior forum]

I discovered that I can inspect grenades too.

[fleet path]

Carking experience? Had you ever fired a thing ?

[patent lion]

I have achieved the guardsman drip I wanted

[fleet path]

Noice I did same also , tho I do wish I had an possibility to finish few other shits but I’m yet to by revolver for heresy run

[patent lion]

I haven’t done anything above level 3 malice lol

[gritty marten]

GL on the guardsman drip

[fleet path]

I did 4

[gritty marten]

make every shot count is an emotional rollercoaster

[patent lion]

I don’t want to do anything above 3 lmao

And none of the penances because screw that nonsense lmao

[fleet path]

And 3 out of 4 attempts ended few to idiots with bolters

[gritty marten]

will admit, the guardsman helmet is really nice

[fleet path]

They litterally tried to wipe squads at mid range with its automatic fire

[patent lion]

I like mine. I just got super lucky one run with randoms

Thank you random, overly zealous zealots who kept aggro off me lmao

[torn basin]

Have you tried with a shotgun?

[gritty marten]

yes

As long as you get a hitmarker, you're good

avoid blue hitmarkers

I am not sure if they count towards that but I wouldn't shoot bulwarks at all

[void forum]

What's the inspection button

??

[wary jewel]

X by default

[void forum]

Ty also fuck make every shot count

[wary jewel]

Can use it on any item including books

[void forum]

My plan is to get a bolter with super low ammo and mag dump bosses and team mates

And then go all in with the shovel

[gritty marten]

Recommend revolver / shotgun

probably shotgun so you can be somewhat useful to your team and not be a scuffed zealot

[errant ermine]

Give this man a purity seal.

[sudden oyster]

Lego darktide ? 😂

[crimson cosmos]

Not much

[fleet path]

Fire it and you’ll get

[crimson cosmos]

What specific autogun?

[cloud pike]

guys, they just made chanales for this convo

[vivid patio]

Ah, a fellow Lucius enjoyer! Well meet!

[crimson cosmos]

Gooood praise

[scarlet hornet]

Aye, some artistic liberties xd

[inner basalt]

anyone else a team green enjoyer?

[fierce sierra]

I'd enjoy it mor eif it had proper gloves, tsk!

Else I'd totally wear the lighter armor variants!

[inner basalt]

Agree with on that

I see some of the NPC guard in some levels have nice brown leather gloves

gimme some of that

if I'm fighting Nurgle and his boys I don't want anything exposed

[fierce sierra]

Ye, gotta keep the stankjuice off!

[brave cairn]

Perhaps more Artistic liberties are required then! :3

[timber night]

For if a karky colour enjoyed, love me some green armour and karky coloured cloths

[teal quest]

Tanith Guard colours boys

First and Only!

[inner basalt]

I'm going to shill so fucking hard if they put out a cloak accessory

[teal quest]

Me too

[copper siren]

weakling ..... my veteran run around with no helmet

[jovial folio]

This is an odd one... Anyone got an image of the Boss from the assassinating mission?

[subtle mulch]

Certified Cadian moment

[crimson cosmos]

Cadia stands!

[inner basalt]

seeing the weapon skins we got tho kinda ruins the imperial edition for me

since they gave us new models

not super drastic but new enough

[pure elk]

Ogg is coming along nicely

[round hazel]

What do ya'll think of these helmets?

[ornate scaffold]

i like them

[hallow hamlet]

Ya

[flint oyster]

It'll be cool having a helmet for psyker, maybe not so special on veteran or ogryn

[rustic jewel]

Kinda look like a more classic Cadian helmet

[round hazel]

I think the helmet would look much better if the markings were on the sides, and not on the front.

[rustic jewel]

Yeah but I don’t mind that much, still looks neat

Hoping there’s more color variants for the helmets/masks and armor, looking to make my guy look like a Kasrkin

[cold abyss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM3WiTLJKhg

[dense condor]

same

[crimson cosmos]

I'd like it if they had respirators

[dense condor]

wish we could get more human looking faces and better hairs

[errant ermine]

Thanks for both Closed Beta and Pre-Order Beta, FatShark. Can't wait to play harder tomorrow

[subtle mulch]

[pine dust]

I hope in visored helmets, i know there is a helmet with a rebreather, but the eyes are still exposed lol

And yes, i wanna be an anonymus guard that looks like all others if anyone is wondering

[copper siren]

SAME 125 H just in this pre-order beta

[subtle mulch]

Honestly, same. I just want a Cadian regiment outfit added so I can just become some rando veteran

[copper siren]

and it is most of it the TRUE GUARDSMAN EXPIRIENCE

[crimson cosmos]

I think thats a preorder bonus

[copper siren]

the pre-order bonuses we gonna get

[crimson cosmos]

There are outfits too, see the cover art

[errant ermine]

Also some black cosmetics and weapon skins. 😄

[fervent haven]

If I can get an Elysian jumpsuit and a beret with a headset, I'll be a happy man.

[copper siren]

if ya buy the Imperial Edition

[errant ermine]

Oh right, silly me.

[copper siren]

do you think the they gonna give this as pre-order ...... I think rather they gonna give some RANDOM CHALLENGE GOOOOO on T5 difficulty

[errant ermine]

I'm happy that they gives us "Beta tester" helmet. It looks more armored than default one from completing some challenges.

[copper siren]

quick question ..... am I the only guy that plays veteran and dislikes the look of helmet from the Penances and would rather have the old Imperial Guard helmet ?

[fervent haven]

Helmet is meh. Just a status symbol right now.

[solemn tulip]

I dont mind something on me noggin, Can't grind pennance-challenges all day

[elder marten]

Yeah id rather get the traditional helmets tbh, fully closed and everything

[spare iron]

So I tried to generate ork space marines using stable diffusion ai and got this

and here is openjourney ai

[vapid thorn]

Stable Diffusion: I have no idea how many arms and legs things tend to have, so yolo

[deep pasture]

those are just salamanders

[spare iron]

Yeah stable diffusion has no idea what it want's to do

openjourney is really neat.

Honestly, I just hope the Beta Company helmets have alternate skins available because they look good and a decent bridge between totally smoothbrain Inquisition helmets and OG Guard. I just hope they aren't exclusively Inquisition colour palette

[spare iron]

lmao this is a fucked up space marine lmaooo

Gulunga marine

[mild raft]

thats a force tattoo gun he's holding so he can tattoo "I ❤️ the emperor" onto the butts of the ultramarines

[azure otter]

That's Sandy. We found her on our porch. She has no front teeth and she pees when she gets too excited. XD

[vocal olive]

thats good your giving her the love she needs

[vocal olive]

my winston and santo also pee when they're excited, or when my dad pets them

[azure otter]

Loool XD. But yeah, we found Sandy on our porch and she was in such bad shape that if her owners claimed her, animal services would be involved. So now she's here and she's a good girl and loves people

[vocal olive]

i love people that rescue animals, my favorite uncle has some too

funny story about winston,

winston was laying on my dads chest and my dad decided to pet him

and my dad started screaming as winston peed

my mom was telling him to stop petting the dog

he didn't stop

[azure otter]

Omlll XDD

[vocal olive]

santo once body slammed the door off his cage

another time when santo was a puppy he and winston beat a bobcat

[azure otter]

Daaaaaamn kings

[vocal olive]

yeah

and winston is a westy

and santo was only a little bigger than winston at the time

[vocal olive]

and scooby beat the crap out of a falcon, and she's like 17

the default real g-pen on clip studio paint with anti-aliasing off

[analog geyser]

very nice

I use Krita so I cant say if there is a direct comparison lol

[tame coral]

most binary pens are similar to what i'm using. most fuzzy brushes with anti-aliasing off might be similar too

yup

[spice thicket]

If you played the beta, yes.

[river pilot]

[spice thicket]

We get a big B on our heads, like the beta bitches we are

[river pilot]

So I'll just have them in my inventory tomorrow?

[spice thicket]

Most likely, same with pre-order items, deluxe items and I am hoping twitch drops too.

We should be getting a good chunk of cosmetics tomorrow.

[river pilot]

twitch drops?

on the topic of ai art
https://twitter.com/CraigTheDev/status/1597538122249965569

Craig Richardson (@CraigTheDev)

A lot of people argue that AI art isn't theft as it isn't copying the original images but referencing them like a person.

I'm a senior games coder & studied machine learning for my master's degree. This is entirely incorrect for reasons that are fundamental to programming & AI.

[clear bloom]

So basically AI is heresy

The emperor and the machine god were right

[quaint python]

Curious question, at what point of detail/indistinguishability or originality does an image from an A.I to pass as none theft?

[brazen stream]

but didnt big E trick the mechanicus into believing he was the omnissiah though?

[delicate snow]

when using resources that consent to ai application, 99% of art was not posted for ai to use, many websites just let it be

[delicate snow]

yes

[delicate snow]

you say that as if mechanicus didn't go to civil war over propaganda and split into many factions

[quaint python]

Because remixing, collaging, photocomposition exist and humans do it on a scale that's not even comparable to an A.I and it's technically not theft.

[clear bloom]

Yes, but the omnissiah is not the machine god. The cult mechanicus, much like real life Christianity, believe in 3 entities that are sort of the same but not really. The machine god, the omnissiah, and the machine spirit

[delicate snow]

read the whole thread again if you want to return to the same argument

[quaint python]

there was a thread? I just think it's interesting.

[sharp egret]

the image i just droped from AI build

[delicate snow]

this should be a law at this point

[delicate snow]

background looks 🔥 but foreground looses all logic

[mortal fjord]

AI should be destroyed

[delicate snow]

agreed

[quaint python]

my question to that is that not comparable to how human's process sources/references? (Full disclosure i'm asking this as a devil's advocate) But with how i see A.I image generation and how generally technology like this is used it'll be used to cut down costs/time and increase efficiency.

like on* what basis do we compare human creative use of references to a machine? When we know how one works literally on paper and not the former is i guess what i'm getting at?

[sharp egret]

that stay fan art dude stop crying

[quaint python]

stay fanart?

[sharp egret]

yes

[river pilot]

Do I need to wait for the next one to connect my accounts since it's not working?

[hollow moth]

mostly from how it takes components from different artists to generate something, normally without permission from the artists whose art never really was given consent too

[delicate snow]

i will provide an example from my latest w.i.p
reference use

[hollow moth]

remixes and etc are excused since they still give credit to the og artist

[delicate snow]

vs stealing recently deceased legend's art and compiling it for ai art and getting this
speaking of Jung Gi

[quaint python]

But that's what i'm sort of pointing at, dont humans consciously and subconsciously in their creative work reference only what they've actually processed themselves?

[delicate snow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4Fzqvx1jxI this guy talks about that specifically very well

[analog geyser]

Fuck AI art

[quaint python]

Will give it a watch

am actually pretty interested in the subject

[cloud musk]

People speak about the internal workings of art AI with surprising confidence when it’s all just a black box.

Human creativity is referential, alwayshasbeen.jpg, an arbitrary line needs to be drawn — but it’s arbitrary.

[analog geyser]

Takes away the skill of actually drawing whilst also using human artists skill to compile a dogshit appropriation

Anybody that advocates for AI art and isn't an artist
Just isn't bothered to try learning tbh

[delicate snow]

makes shit people's shit easier to do as a tool enabling it further

Thiefs don't have to even trace anymore

[quaint python]

but that's the nature of tools and improvement of tools

[analog geyser]

AI art as a supplementary tool is fine
They can make good references for specific poses or w/e

[delicate snow]

same mindset was during the invention of nuclear bombs.

[analog geyser]

But making art pieces is like, why not try it yourself
Especially since it requires human art to actually

Make it

[delicate snow]

scientists didn't want to kill millions of people because of it, it still happened

[quaint python]

photo composition for example requires artistic knowledge, but you're creating something new through compiling or editing what already exists

[analog geyser]

Tbh not a good comparison

[delicate snow]

ik it's a stretch

but as much as ai generation can help, it does more harm than good in the whole aspect

[analog geyser]

I think
If AI art will ever be prominent
It should be it's own category

[quaint python]

i dont want to spam irrelevant art from another game but i'd like to illustrate my example pls

[cloud musk]

People generally stopped being interested in handmaking cars when the process was automated.

I’m iffy about AI art, but rejecting it to preserve some perceived virtue in human art borders upon being luddism.

[analog geyser]

It shouldn't be compared to real art

Unless the computer has sentience, then it might as well be real art

[hollow moth]

there is still a difference to placing a bunch of images in an AI learner to get something and using various references to get an idea for a pose/a style of art/color scheme to create something cool. Unless they traced

fuck tracers

[analog geyser]

But until then
It should be categorised differently

[quaint python]

this image, is a photo composite, it can be proven pretty easily

[analog geyser]

Ok

[delicate snow]

ofc it can lol look at those feet

[quaint python]

you think they had the rights for the dude in the middle?

[analog geyser]

Yes, it's based off Dutch frogmen

Yes

[quaint python]

(not trying to be argumentative) just curious

[analog geyser]

Soldiers are public images

So, yes

[quaint python]

ic ic

[hollow moth]

^^^

[cloud musk]

There will always be a market distinction between Human and AI art, even when people can’t tell the difference.

[delicate snow]

true, however it's annoying when you do real art and someone asks "nice piece, what prompts did you use? i wanna try myself"

[analog geyser]

Tbh I would not pay for an AI art

Why would you?

No work was actually done

[quaint python]

100% photocomposition have a high looking render quality cause they're images but if they're done quickly (and imo they usually are) you can see things that're "off"

but for concept, and at a glance it serves it's function well

[analog geyser]

Concept art compositions are usually done manually

[delicate snow]

it will always look off when it includes eyes and hands lol

[quaint python]

uncanny

[analog geyser]

For starters
Though I'm not too well versed in the industry to know if they started using AI art

But they're usually Photoshop mock ups

[quaint python]

imo the best photocompositions exist when you combine multiple skillsets(digitial painting, photoediting etc)

[delicate snow]

it does, greatly even.
Now how do you prevent all non artists utilizing it for non ethical use

[sharp egret]

like me?

[hollow moth]

at least they still put effort in it

[analog geyser]

If it's just prompts, there is no effort

Unless they programmed the application themselves

[delicate snow]

idk, are you?
You use specific artists as prompts? you sell your ai art?

[analog geyser]

Again, if it has no human labour for an art piece, it's not worth the money

[quaint python]

fair, and a good question. But if a artist were to be falsely and maliciously use A.I art. If it's good looking enough my question is how do you prove it?

[analog geyser]

Well, you can't?

That's why it's an issue?

[hollow moth]

^

[analog geyser]

Cause they could potentially replicate specific artists and just eventually copy their specific styles if they were malicious

[sharp egret]

you guys reject AI but using it every day

[delicate snow]

technically you can, laws need to be formed. I mean it won't trully stop it but people doing it will be branded illegal which is more than enough for me

[analog geyser]

What AI

Lmao

[hollow moth]

?

[delicate snow]

actually you know what, since we all waiting for darktide to relase i will continue drawing, but have no desire to continue my mechanicus, any requests or suggestions? i will at very least sketch it

[analog geyser]

Nothing I use is an artificial intelligence

99% of "AI" Is just a set of programs that run keyword checks through a database
How is that an AI?

[quaint python]

if it cant be proven then on what basis can it be enforced?

[hollow moth]

ogryn and his commissar buddy

[analog geyser]

Well, obviously it could be proven again

But it's just very annoying

[quaint python]

cause using copyrighted/owned material is bad we agree. But it's like the limewire days.

[delicate snow]

did you make any of them in game? could use as reference

[hollow moth]

just an idea

no references though

if i did they would be on my pc

[delicate snow]

aight

[cloud musk]

Two years ago:

• AI art is laughable, it will never compare to human art.

Now:

• Okay AI art looks nearly as good but human art needs to be protected from its advances.

Two years from now on:

• ???

AI beat Chess players, it beat GO players. Everyone said it could not be done. Yet they did anyway. We severely overestimate human potential since we’re stoopid little survival engines — time and time again.

[hollow moth]

interesting point

[delicate snow]

ai art has no ai in it tho

[analog geyser]

My style is very simple
I'm still relatively new

[hollow moth]

dog suit

[delicate snow]

ai is acronym for artificial intelligence, it does not containt artificial intellignnce as it's not actually learning anything

[analog geyser]

It literally collages from a database based on your prompt

The only actually intelligence part is that it scans for those features

[cloud musk]

Neither did the GO or Chess bots afaik — they’re just brute forcing.

[analog geyser]

Based on the internet definition

We have no real AI

Omnissiah bless that

[quaint python]

Again i think it's just an evolution of tools, if enforcement is nigh impossible. You cant really distinguish it on much of any basis except i guess asking the artist themselves to prove their talent or breakdown their work.

It'll probably be used as a tool in the professional field in the near future (if legislation fails) for actual artists to take advantage from as a way to make a foundation to edit/collage themselves and curate into something better/specialized for whatever project.

Even if legislation does pass on it

i imagine even from stock images this would be an invaluable tool

[analog geyser]

It can be used as a tool yeah
I agree
However 99% of the time it's gonna be used to undercut and undermine actual artists

Like we've seen when people sell AI art

Or NFTs

[delicate snow]

any digital artist has their pre compressed file, which includes all the layers that can be toggled on or off for visibility with ease

[analog geyser]

Yep

[quaint python]

of course

[analog geyser]

That's the proof

For the actual artist

However AI art cannot have that
Unless someone programs a bot to compile layers

But that wouldn't work unless it working through an art application

[delicate snow]

lol

[cloud musk]

Of course they can, it just depends on how they’re trained.

It’ll be available in the far future if there’s a demand for it.

[quaint python]

super curious to see where it goes, no doubt the same or similar things will happen to the music industry too

if i recall there were those "a.i written" songs being passed around the internet like on a piano some time ago

[analog geyser]

Solution: Molotov tech companies

There is no emotion in AI art tbh

[hollow moth]

as time goes on, the effort in art just becomes a joke. If Ai created shit continues

[quaint python]

perhaps, but imagine it could get to a point where you could use a.i to generate you assets that dont take much creative effort

[delicate snow]

ah i love "human music" and "beep boop boop beep"

It’ll end up like any non-deterministic activity using machine learning to solve the problem.

It has low value on its own, but you need folks to synthesize requirements and post-process the output of the AI to make it useful.

[analog geyser]

The programming ability is useful
The product is well done

It takes skill to program an AI art bot

[quaint python]

would cut down workload a ton and a human artist could still give it personality and life through editing and actually curating/improving it.

[analog geyser]

It does not take skill for random users to do so

[hollow moth]

yea

[hollow moth]

nope

[quaint python]

how so?

[hollow moth]

removes the entire starting process of the sketching the rendering and everything that even brings life into a drawing

removing the start removes why art is enjoyed

[analog geyser]

I mean, I can technically see how that would work
Ala concept art mock ups
But that's usually done manually since that's easier touch up

[hollow moth]

since every single drawing is a process in itself

people fuck up but the artist corrects it down the line

[analog geyser]

Lol

I don't

[hollow moth]

there could be 20 sketches but only 1 sketch is used for the final piece

[analog geyser]

XD

[hollow moth]

its an example

[analog geyser]

I miss fuck ups all the time

[hollow moth]

but yea

XD

[delicate snow]

"happy mistakes" - Bob Ross

[analog geyser]

Yeah I get you and i agree

Just adding humour

[quaint python]

if it's an illustration sure, but if you want 30 variations of lets say a new space marine. You could in theory get a decent render of a space marine in a 3/4ths view in 5 mins and go from there if you have the artistic skill. You could use the generated image as a foundation for your original creative process.

[hollow moth]

especially certain artists that share all their anatomy practice and etc

[analog geyser]

Then it's not AI art

That's just making a custom reference

[hollow moth]

yea

[analog geyser]

Which is what we kinda said is fine

[delicate snow]

look: nft

[quaint python]

yes, i'm talking about using a.i art as a tool.

the positive aspect of the tech.

[hollow moth]

actually he just described nfts

[hollow moth]

still no artistic skill in that

[analog geyser]

Huh

But grabbing reference images of the web is the same tbh

It's just more cursted

Curated*

[hollow moth]

he is basically just saying, make marine from ai generator, use software to recolor different variations

[analog geyser]

Oh

That's not okay

Imo

[quaint python]

not saying to just get image of space marine, and boom i'll edit the color. (Just wanted to keep it somewhat 40k themed)

[hollow moth]

still wont slide with me

what does slide is taking the time to draw a space marine, leaving the color layer blank

and hand rendering each variation chosen

cause you are still doing that anyways

for the final piece

[quaint python]

hang on lemme pull up a vid, to show you what i mean

[analog geyser]

Kinda breaking off from the convo, but any tips for making the shading look better? I'm trying to branch out into using hard shadows more but I can't seem to nail it

I think the pose and linework is alright

[hollow moth]

reference how light affects clothes on soldiers, depending on environment

[analog geyser]

I already do

I use my kit as reference

However It's just hard to put into practice

[hollow moth]

just basically just use the creaks of certain parts of clothes, depending on how large the creak depends shadow size

aka intensify the shadows a bit

[analog geyser]

Ah like the deeper the fabric Crease, the darker the shadow

[hollow moth]

yeah

[analog geyser]

Fair enough

Yeah good idea

[hollow moth]

couldn’t find proper terms since i just call them clothes flaps

[analog geyser]

I'll add that to my Vox operator drawing

[quaint python]

cant find vid, but for example if i wanted to lets say give a design a cape, or some kind of cool cloak from a material i'm not familiar with like ghillie netting onto my design. And i got a a.i image generator to make me a ghillie cloak. And I use it like a photo composite and then proceed to edit it and make it my own? Would that be malicious?

[delicate snow]

many ways to takle it and i personally try to use a different method every time, biggest challenge and usually good results is to do a lot of very low opacity paint overs until it looks smooth, also some principles of rendering like the simplest one i can think of is to assume one source of light and shade a lot of parts of your characters as if they were individual objects ( look at muscles, a lot of balls and ovals )

[analog geyser]

Depends on how well you can hide that it's a generated image lmao

But imo no

[quaint python]

solely as a template, to understand the material

[analog geyser]

But to others it might be

[quaint python]

no different than making a composite design

that's either well edited, or put together well or indistinguishable from the original. A tool to generate required assets.

or even to generate required references, possibilities are high imo.

[hollow moth]

that mostly wont work out since the drawing in question is mostly clothed up

its good advise if there was some skin showing

but skin and clothes are different

[delicate snow]

well yeah that's the hard part, you must visualize every other shape as 3d in reference to light source for good shading

then there is the aspect of light bounce, light coming off from nearby surfaces and relitting the shadows themself

[hollow moth]

ok i get what you mean now

was a bit confused reading it

[analog geyser]

I generally do most of these already, but the individual shading is interesting actually
I usually wait until I've blocked all my colours in before I start rendering shading. Good idea maybe to do it first

[delicate snow]

i usually never colour lol but i've seen artists do the rendering first which is something i have to try yet myself

like greyscale

[analog geyser]

I know a lot of people do greyscale blocking

Ye

[hollow moth]

dog suit

[analog geyser]

I don't like doing greyscale blocking because I can't visualise the colour theory well

But it might be the move to improve shading since it allows much better shade maps

[hollow moth]

i have a weird ass interest in covering anything i own in drawings

ie : folders, sketchbooks and shit

[analog geyser]

Lol I hate messing up my shit

However, I got a corkboard with all my physical sketches

[hollow moth]

im still underway with completely filling my folder

this is my 3rd folder so far

[analog geyser]

Nice

None WH40K sketch of mine

[hollow moth]

i might go back to digital

[analog geyser]

Non*

[hollow moth]

but tablet broke

[hollow moth]

love the style

of the faces

[analog geyser]

Cheers

[hollow moth]

although im a bit confused on the direction of the chest

[analog geyser]

Fuck I just realised I misaligned the lower torso to the chest

Hahahab

[hollow moth]

yeah thats mostly my problem

[analog geyser]

If the belt/pants where actually directional to the webbing/upper torso
It would be better

[hollow moth]

also the breasts are to raised up

when only one strap is holding it

[analog geyser]

Strap?

[hollow moth]

mostly this

[analog geyser]

Oh you meant the MP5s sling

That's not holding anything But the gun

[hollow moth]

you can like see that the chest is being clamped up a bit but like only one thing is attached

[hollow moth]

honestly thought it was a duffel

since back sling isnt obvious until i looked back at the drawing

so it looks like only the front sling is attached

[analog geyser]

Yep, it would be if it was coloured but it was just a "quick" portrait

This is one of my better ones

[hollow moth]

perspective of the vest is a bit funky but good drawing nonetheless

[analog geyser]

Yep! But the mistakes is what drives improvements after all

Anyways
I'm starting to do more 40k art, but I've only really just scratched the surface

Most of my stuff is Tarkov/Stalker/Random stuff

[hollow moth]

the dive

[hollow moth]

most of my stuff is shitposts, anime and ocs of friends

[analog geyser]

Nice

[hollow moth]

and my pride and glorly

my 3-4 minute ms paint drawings

[hollow moth]

fun as hell to do

[analog geyser]

Very cool
It's always fun to messy doodle

[hollow moth]

lemme find good examples

[analog geyser]

Current face-shading attempts on my Vox Operator

[hollow moth]

probably a style i dont get is the mouth being far away from the lip outline

[analog geyser]

It just looks better for me

So far my attempts on having a connected mouth on this piece have been less than stellar

So I went "fuck it" and just did the heavily stylised classic side mouth

A good way I look at it is that the lips are actually closed, and the "side mouth"is just the visible grimce

Grimace

That's what I'm going for atleast

[hollow moth]

@analog geyser found some of my 3-4 minute work

[analog geyser]

Send

[hollow moth]

the idea is

i give myself a lack of time

[analog geyser]

Reminds me of gartic phone

[hollow moth]

and i draw their gmod/steam avatar/ discord pfp

[delicate snow]

@hollow moth veteran telling his ogryn buddy why bolter is the best weapon and everybody should use it while he remains unconviced

[hollow moth]

brings a tear to me eye

[analog geyser]

Lasgun ftw

[analog geyser]

Kantreal ftw

[delicate snow]

true that

[hollow moth]

there is normally a certain joke associated to each

[delicate snow]

i hate drawing mouths too

they only work if you paint them

[hollow moth]

and each taking of course 3-4 minutes

[delicate snow]

and well you dont paint on sketching

[analog geyser]

Hands
Are my weakness

[hollow moth]

drawing mouths is awesome for me

[analog geyser]

Yeah same as long as it's not side profile

[hollow moth]

never will i EVER spend 2 hours practicing hands ever

[delicate snow]

is this roblox avatars

[hollow moth]

perhaps

[analog geyser]

Why are fucking fingers so hard to draw

Ahhhhhh

[hollow moth]

no clue

why do they have to be 3 pieces

why cant it be 2

[delicate snow]

3? there is 5

[analog geyser]

I can block them in or rough sketch good looking hands, but as soon as I go to line art
Its terrible

Bare minimum, fingers are 3

[quaint python]

always find it funny either fanart or in commissioned art the attention to detail on notable items like guns is immaculate and outstanding where as in game's it's poo.

[hollow moth]

you have 5?

[analog geyser]

3 joins = 3 pieces
However

Some crazies add more parts

[hollow moth]

freaky ass hands

[delicate snow]

hands only turn out ok if i structurize them first

like with fucking cylinders and shit

and then i end up drawing them too small and have to resize

[hollow moth]

yea

[analog geyser]

Depends on th artists nichds

Niche*

My shit is guns/gear

So most of the detail will be there

Organic parts causes issue

Issues for me*

[hollow moth]

i hate the artist who made this, cause I had to step back for a second to think about if it was real or not

[delicate snow]

i mean Xd

[analog geyser]

Hands only turn out okay for me if I skeleton them, and then look at my.own hands

Lmao

Or just
Don't bother and block in the outline

[quaint python]

respectable i personally like when things look the way they should

[delicate snow]

best hands i did probably lol

[analog geyser]

That face is really nice

[delicate snow]

dnd character for someone

(i was trying to paint it all)

(it worked 70%)

[hollow moth]

in comparison to actual official art

[quaint python]

curious you use illustrator or PS for the lineart?

[analog geyser]

Krita

[delicate snow]

my overall proudest yet

[quaint python]

never heard of it, it's a specialized app?

[grand otter]

krita's pretty good

[analog geyser]

It's a free alternative to PS

[quaint python]

ic ic

[analog geyser]

Not as robust but shares a lot of the same architecture

[hollow moth]

what even is this supposed to be

[analog geyser]

Reminds me of Half life

[hollow moth]

yea

[delicate snow]

some made up transhumanism distopia worker in dark sci fi future taking a break on a rooftop by neon lights (background unfinished, never gonna bother lol)

[analog geyser]

I reused the head of one drawing for this one cause I came up with two designs during the drawing of the first

[hollow moth]

lol

interesting ghili

[analog geyser]

Ye
Commissioner wanted a Scrim/leaf suit top

This is my attempt

[quaint python]

just a random question, you guys like passively consume info about how stuff should look like?

for references?

[analog geyser]

Yes

[quaint python]

like how stances/clothing need to look for certain things you wanna portray?

[analog geyser]

I do atleast

I also pose

It also helps that I am experienced in my specific niche

[dusty fiber]

I do constantly for mini painting with corrosion and natural weathering

[quaint python]

for me it's like once you see how it needs to look you cant unsee it

[analog geyser]

Yep

[quaint python]

or learn how it needs to function/look

[analog geyser]

Mhm

[quaint python]

ruins certain games/movies for me

[analog geyser]

It's funny cause I should be better at biology since I'm a biomed major

Lol

[analog geyser]

Don't get me started

[quaint python]

i just ask a lot of questions lol

[quaint python]

i dont mind lol

for me most recently it's been Ubisoft that's kinda been dead to me

[analog geyser]

A bit nsfw, but this is one of mine that I really like

[hollow moth]

only whenever im confused on what i want to do for a drawing

[analog geyser]

Anytime no-one touches the charging handle on A gun pisses me off

Immensely

[hollow moth]

awooga

[quaint python]

inverse for me, too much charging handle touching is also bad

it's like in every old game

[analog geyser]

True

[quaint python]

really sucks cause i like fallout 4

but man

[analog geyser]

Ubisoft games pulling the charging handle after loading a new mag on an AR

Just press the bolt release

[quaint python]

Wildlands

in a nutshell

[analog geyser]

That applies to like 90% of guns
Press the fucking bolt releaee

[quaint python]

no bullet counted reload systems suck

[analog geyser]

I am so happy Darktide has modern reloads/handling for the guns

[quaint python]

tbf even in Darktide they do it for their kinetic based ammo sadly

[analog geyser]

Wdym Scars aren't open bolt

• Ubisoft dev team

[quaint python]

lel

[analog geyser]

I giggled when I saw the retention reload on the las pistol

[quaint python]

i get it's a balancing thing but still is a bit annoying when there's a round in the chamber and you have to pull back the charging handle

[analog geyser]

The bolter

[quaint python]

yup

open a box

"racks the charging handle for the 20th time"

[analog geyser]

The new cod is pr orgasmic for gun details

[quaint python]

true

[analog geyser]

Iraqi reload on AKs is a super nice charge

[quaint python]

pretty sure Hyper's to thank for a lot of the animations

he's good

[analog geyser]

Mhm

I love how violently they through the las gun mag/battery

In darktide

[quaint python]

one of the reasons why i stick to lasguns in darktide if it operates on scifi magic

i dont need to worry about it lol

[analog geyser]

Tbf, they do try and keep the gun real

To an extent

[quaint python]

i do like the staged reloads

that is cool

and more games should do that

[analog geyser]

It's got picatinny, staged reloads, realistic animations

[quaint python]

it's almost there

[analog geyser]

I mean, Not much you can do for a laser rifle

Other than that

Selector switch I g

[quaint python]

always wondered cause i'm more new to the 40k lore

isn't a laser sniper rifle a horrible idea?

[analog geyser]

Nope

Speed of light

[quaint python]

but it gives away exactly where you shot from

[analog geyser]

But las guns aren't really lasers

Oh yeah ig

[quaint python]

there's no point in concealment

[analog geyser]

But for high priority targets they use autoguns

Or railguns (as some of the assassins have used)

The average guard squad isn't really too worries about concealment

But yeah iirc lasers being traced back is an issue

[quaint python]

what is the guard exactly? are they ww1 infantry?

[analog geyser]

But they aren't really lasers either

Nah

[quaint python]

or are they more modern?

[analog geyser]

Depends

The guard is an incredibly large and diverse military branch where based on the planet the regiment hails from, can be extremely modern or extremely backwards

[quaint python]

i have a hard time wrapping my head around the guard and their power status

[analog geyser]

Also depends on how much standardisation they've gotten too

Fuedal world guard regiments typically wear medieval plate and chain mail whilst having lasguns and chainswords

[quaint python]

they're cannon fodder except not always kinda like stormtroopers in starwars i guess

[analog geyser]

Not really canonfodder

Thatd be the PDF

The Guard are well trained and disciplined

Just that the books/games show fucking horrific shit

But they constantly hold the line And win a lot of major battles by themselves

[quaint python]

like i see a kriegsman and they look somewhat primitive? And using their weaponry in Darktide it feels very inefficient but does hit like a truck.

[analog geyser]

Krieg is the case of planet adapting solely to siege warfare, so their gear reflects their tactics

The lucius pattern is made because the wood furniture is cheap, and the ergonomics allow for better bayonet charges

[quaint python]

do the guard have different branches?

[analog geyser]

Yep

[quaint python]

like how do you seperate all the specializations

[analog geyser]

The guard follows a lot of similar doctrine with British armed forces

So you'll see a lot of similarities

[quaint python]

ic

[analog geyser]

But it also has a mix of Soviet style political officers

The commissars

[quaint python]

yup

[analog geyser]

Which is their own branch

[quaint python]

so curious do the guardsman have SF units?

[analog geyser]

Yessir

Karskin units

[quaint python]

quick google only comes up with the Scions

but they dont really fall in line with traditional SF depictions

they're more scorched earth

[analog geyser]

Scions are technically guard, but they fall under inquisitorial control

[quaint python]

ic

[analog geyser]

They're shocktroopers

Karskin are proper SF

More like Rangers, than Tier 1 door kickers, but they're very well trained and equipped

[quaint python]

ah the wiki does not disappoint

[analog geyser]

Lexicanum is Better than the wiki iirc

Both are wikis

I just can't remember which one is better

[quaint python]

guardsman full face helm with visor is what i hope to see eventually ingame

looks very nice

[analog geyser]

You kinda can get it

At Penance 3

For helms

[quaint python]

mmhmm will do once maintenance is down, got the second one already

[analog geyser]

They use a thing called Hotshot lasguns (you can see them ingame used by the Scab/Moebian 6th regiment Traitor gunners

Or Hellguns

As they're officially called

Basically Armour Piercing form of regular lasguns

With a higher rate of fire/more control over fire

[quaint python]

i do hope we eventually see one with a full visor for the the pure "faceless" space soldier aesthetic

[analog geyser]

A cool example of differing training for regiments

[delicate snow]

when the

[analog geyser]

Is like Krieg and Armageddon

When the techpriest is sus

[quaint python]

interesting thing to note they're cadian

[analog geyser]

Hadron more like mommy

[analog geyser]

The Karskins? Yeah

[quaint python]

i wonder if that increases the likelyhood we'll see either a cosmetic or subclass from them

[analog geyser]

Probably

I hope we get the long las sniper rifle

We already get shot by it

[quaint python]

there was some lasgun

that was like leaked no?

that wasn't in the beta

[analog geyser]

Hmm

Linkm

[quaint python]

i think also a plasma gun

[analog geyser]

Link?*

Melta gun

[quaint python]

it was a youtuber who covered it, one sec

[analog geyser]

The melta gun is confirmed coming

[delicate snow]

wait what

are we talking about game content here now?

[analog geyser]

Looks like a plasma gun, but it's more anti-vehicle

[pine dust]

Not only about game content, but also wrong lore too

[quaint python]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCOuP1bld70

[analog geyser]

Such as

[quaint python]

this guy seems pretty popular

so figured it's not a big deal

[delicate snow]

ok uhh have a leak or smth
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1031481482700656651/1031482115386249226/vlc_Qy0d81lW2F.mp4

[analog geyser]

Ye I've seen the cosmetics

Can't wait

[pine dust]

Scions are the SF forces of the guard, kasrkin are an equivalent force unique to cadia

[quaint python]

that looks very long range oriented to me

[analog geyser]

Should i add some Krakk grenades to her kit

[delicate snow]

this thing is all class (non ogryn) and might look different on other classes

[delicate snow]

yes

[analog geyser]

Oh!
I thought tempestus scions were used by the Inquisition

Exclusively

[pine dust]

No

[analog geyser]

Whilst they're guard

Thank you for the correction!

[rare stump]

goodfellow been working on this the entire beta

[pine dust]

That is also something wrong you said, there are inquisitorial scions

[quaint python]

i'm curious how the veteran class will be handled

[delicate snow]

no, just did it now in wait for game to launch

[analog geyser]

It launches at 5 am for me

[quaint python]

wondering if veteran himself is an amalgamation of all of the guard or we'll get specific guardsman sub classes

[pine dust]

But not such a big wrong take, many do always the same error, they read some snippet and think it is the same for everything

[quaint python]

so that includes just cosmetics of kriegsman/scion and Kasrkin

[delicate snow]

got no motivation to continue the big piece rn

[quaint python]

or some of those will be subclasses

[analog geyser]

We will probably get premium skins for specific regiment

Regiments*

[quaint python]

a lot of people think vet will get the commissar subclass, but it could also be zealot

[analog geyser]

But normal general/Cadian gear will be store unlock I think

Bruh Fuck commissars

[quaint python]

imo not into them, but i heard it's super popular

[pine dust]

Other classes has been confirmed, so we could expect other aspect of a veteran to arrive, but the problem with sharp is that it has a bit of everything, or maybe lot, since many use a build called the bombardier for them... Which is ironic, since the class name is sharpshooter and shouldn't have anything to get them called bombardier

[quaint python]

i just want my SF/Assassin architype

[pine dust]

Eh, if sharp was done well then it could have been so, but as now it is more like a grunt, a bit of everything

[quaint python]

eh.. after playing him a while it's his best CC so i get it

[analog geyser]

Sharpshooter guardsmen tweaked out of his/her mind w ith caffeine > officio assassins on every combat drug

All hail the regular dude

[quaint python]

could be like the elf from VT her base setup wasn't the assassin right?

it was more of a general ranged dps class

[analog geyser]

I swear to god If they add an Eldar in the game
I'm gonna whinge

Nothing wrong with the idea

[quaint python]

arent they like super OP?

lore wise?

[analog geyser]

I just hate those stupid pretentious knife ears

Kinda

I'm not too well versed on aeldari lore

[quaint python]

i'm just wondering who will get the assassin architype class

it

[pine dust]

Right, kerillian was a waystalker at start

[quaint python]

*it could be either vet or zealot or both, a friend of mine said psyker technically could

[analog geyser]

But I think and correct me if I'm wrong, physically they're closer to humans but their psychic powers/abilities greatly outpace regular human psykers and thus can tweak and augment their physical strength with it

[quaint python]

Vet seems to be primed for it but who knows FatFish's outlook

[analog geyser]

They're taller than reg humans

They do share a lot of uncanny features with humans

And the only anatomy book about them was written by a crazed heretic

[pine dust]

Eldar have better reflex and also strength

[quaint python]

the lore i've seen about 40k assassins is they're super op too

[pine dust]

Than regular human of course, SM are stronger, but slower

[quaint python]

which makes me wonder if instead we'll see a SF guard regiment that uses stealth tactics or something

or something similar

but it's a popular architype so i'm really curious in what form it'll come

[pine dust]

There are many types of assassins, the fact that all use the same title "assassin" doesn't mean they are all on the same level

[analog geyser]

Depends on the lore
Iirc there is a few excerpts that show normal humans being able to beat an Eldar in h2h if they're not augmenting their strength

But They re definitely more strong in the sense their muscles are more efficient

[quaint python]

ik

[analog geyser]

Honestly my little headcanon is that Humans and Aeldari are very much closely related as a species, due to Old one fuckery

Old ones*

But I know that's not true

[quaint python]

but most likely it wont be any of the one's that're gender locked as it's likely not logical for them to suddenly gender lock a class when the main idea is for us to make our own character.

[pine dust]

Old ones didn't tweaked mankind though, while they did elevated and tweaked eldars

[quaint python]

which arent the deathcult assassins all women?

and they're the weakest ones right?

[pine dust]

No

[analog geyser]

Yeah
That's my point kinda

[quaint python]

then who is?

[pine dust]

I meant no they aren't all female

[quaint python]

ah

[pine dust]

Death cults can be either only male, only female or mixed

[quaint python]

but they fit zealot's architype right?

[pine dust]

Yes

[quaint python]

but dont they also not speak?

[analog geyser]

Also depends,
I read a pr good theory that the Emperor of mankind is possibly a backup created by the Old ones.
Though we know he was created by the sacrifice of shamens

[scarlet hornet]

Stabi is bestest zealot

[pine dust]

In fact a death cult assassin is one of the many ideas for the classes that the community come up with

[pine dust]

Depend entirely on the cult

[analog geyser]

Dealth cult would be hard to introduce

[quaint python]

ic ic

[analog geyser]

How are they gang pressed into penal servicd

[quaint python]

(still learning the overwhelming amount of lore lol)

[analog geyser]

That's the difficult part to explain

[pine dust]

False accusation, or dumb policies in the imperium

[analog geyser]

Yes but aren't they indoctrinated by the use of brain washing and drugs

[quaint python]

still the only thing about zealot is the class's architype isn't really geared towards the glass cannon high dps, it's more of a bruiser

[analog geyser]

Also death cult assassins are extremely useful

[pine dust]

Not less difficult than a psyker witheld from the tithe of the black ships and sent to use freely their powers

[quaint python]

not that V2 didnt have some really drastically varied classes (hunstmen)

[pine dust]

Neither all death cult assassins are

[analog geyser]

I mean like, ig Grendyl could just lie so they could just have ond

I like to think Zola is Grendyl

I never heard of explicator

[pine dust]

Remember, death cult assassins are just people fanatically crazy that worship the emperor via murder

[analog geyser]

As a rank in the inquisition

[pine dust]

It could be the same as interrogator but with a different name

Exactly like there are tons of ranks that vary in name from world to world

[analog geyser]

Under the imperial branch's tho the ranks are standardised

But that's a valid idea

[pine dust]

But Explicator is an official rank

[analog geyser]

Yes, but it's never been used afaik til noe

Now*

Not as many think they are

[analog geyser]

It feels like a nonsense rank given for a cover up identity

Also explains why we're alive after saving Zola

[pine dust]

It was use earlier actually, it was probably forgotten and now it is getting used again

[analog geyser]

Hmm

Maybe

I'll need to read to confirm

[pine dust]

Earlier books used the term 'Acolyte' to cover the ranks of 'Explicator', 'Interrogator', and the unexplained 'Notary' only.

[analog geyser]

Interesting

[pine dust]

Some apprentice Inquisitors start at the rank of Explicator, where they learn how to extract information using torture under the direction of their mentor Inquisitor. Explicators then move up as more experience is gained in the ways of the Inquisition to the rank of Interrogator.

[analog geyser]

||weird considering were Acolytes after rep 30||

But ig it's now defined differently

[pine dust]

Later books, following from the Dark Heresy RPG, have been clear that Acolyte covers a wide variety of Inquisitorial henchmen, and that apprentice Inquisitors are 'Interrogators'.

[analog geyser]

Sweet

Yeah that covers.my questions

Cheers

[pine dust]

Acolytes is just the umbrella term for anyone working under an inquisitor

[analog geyser]

I hope we get some missions in the upper hive spires

For darktide

Very transhumanist

Did this piece after the closed beta ended. At this time all I had from the best operator in the 41st millennium was this tiny picture of hers and her voice full of magnificent insults! And lot’s of fantasy. Better we do not elaborate this.

So this was my take on Hadron Omega-7-7. I know she looks different ingame. But I was surprised she's got an arm of flesh and a metallic one, much as I envisioned her. Even though it is the opposite arm.

Cant' wait to play again and get turned on insulted by her! I mean, guided! Through the mission!

[delicate snow]

based hadron enjoyer

[analog geyser]

Weak hadron fans 🤮

Chad Morrow enjoyers

[bright dove]

I like Morrow, too!
But in a different kind of way.

[daring bear]

Hadron art? beeeEEEEp

[grim mantle]

I first made my character look like Heihachi Mishima
then made Heihachi Mishima look like my character

[gaunt sinew]

Brilliant

[grim mantle]

I think it's also a meme at the same time
throw in memes

Meanwhile I'm trying to work occupy myself before the full release of Darktide. Just started sketching my SO's Zealot

[fleet path]

A WIP of my Veteran by Astrubal Arts (@astrubal_)

[bright dove]

Nice one. This beard looks so fluffy, I want to pet it.
Then again... He surely wields an Chainsword.

[loud ingot]

Thanks! Yeah, the double handed chainsword or the lightning hammer!

[mighty ravine]

where is our Hadron Rule 34?

[fleet path]

@covert tinsel Did I accidentally ping?

[covert tinsel]

that art is awesome

[fleet path]

My abilities were simply paying for it!

[covert tinsel]

that ability, my friend, is the most powerful of all

[fleet path]

Ehehe

[burnt geyser]

Made a quick Poxwalker sketch whilst waiting for the release. Based on one of my most favorite minis. My friend just gave him a very fitting name: 'The horny Poxwalker'.

[covert tinsel]

[fleet path]

That is slappin'

[delicate snow]

"quick sketch" posts fully shaded and rendered greyscale detailed work of art

[burnt geyser]

😄 Cheers. Just zoom in tho, it really is just a rough sketch. A bit of grain can hide so many things...

[delicate snow]

right. tell me more about it, will take notes

[jagged dirge]

Yesssss some delicious arts before launch +v+

[loud ingot]

Some quick shading on the Zealot, should probably have some supper now

[burnt geyser]

Don't give in to such base human needs. Supper...pah... Stay at your station and continue your work. For the Emperor!

[rare stump]

all the artists coming out of the woodwork to get their promo going
I approve

[loud ingot]

Yes sir, the corpse starch can wait

[mental zenith]

How you got the mask?

[errant ermine]

By completing many penance challenges and other ones that can level up to +(2), it will unlocks more helmets.

[dusk willow]

I love seeing so much arts

[zinc slate]

Has the team been to Games Workshop in Nottingham were everything was started?? Congrats on the release ❤️

[eternal bluff]

I worked on this during the day the servers were off 😛

no psyker, unfortunately 😛

[clever pond]

Must be a mixed with nurgle and slaanesh

[tiny fog]

Pov: someone mentioned Cadia around the priest

[wind gulch]

how much for a comission? would like to see them beating the crap out of a deamon host

[eternal bluff]

depends on budget 🙂

got fired today so I got plenty of time 😛

[wind gulch]

would pay $50

max

[tiny fog]

That’s well worth more than 50$ imo, but that’s just me

[tame coral]

looking suuuuuper dope!!

[eternal bluff]

we pool cash together maybe we can buy a salad 😄

[tame coral]

one really tasty salad

[analog geyser]

definitely what i had in mind for the clothing

that looks awesome

[mental zenith]

some of the challenge seem to me impossible (no damage taken on a mission)
