Ultramarines Master of the Fleet

This is my first mini on coolminiornot, so please vote! An auction is also underway. I used a spacemarine helmet in place of the head.

Alright. I've been looking at this for a while, And thought I'd give a little analysis on why eacly so much emotion is shown here. The head facing away from the direction of the thunder hammer might mean he does'nt want to look at it. The slight tilt in his head and the way the thunder hammer is casually slung over his shoulder shows he is tired of battle. This greatly conflicts with the decoration and fanciness of the armor. The overall bleak look of the base adds to the old and tired look. The holding of the cape might indicate he wants to hold on to somethig, or that he'd like to keep his cloak nice and clean. The stern and squinting look of the helmet itself makes it look a bit like he is digusted, as if he's looking over the aftermath of a major battle from a high vantage point. The slightly washeed out slyle of painting (though this might be the photo) gives an apperance of a cold, hard, unforgiving look to the armor, belying the complex being beneath. Phew! now that was an essay! I think this might be the longest comment on CMON!

Jericho its funny you should mention that. IN reality i had to trim of the piece of metal below the feet to fit him on a flat base so whats left of that metal is actually whats balencing on the base, not the feet. Basing is one of the areas I need to improve on.

It's funny, there seems to be a lot of emotion showing in that helmet somehow. Interesting :D With a few slight changes I'd easily give this a 9, he looks like he's hovering off the ground a bit and some of the shading isn't very defined, other than that though it's a pretty cool captian. I'll keep an eye out for more of your stuff, I haven't seen the name before but I like your work.
