The alarm on your phone ever slowly wakes you up. The ringtone slipping into your dream, confusing you before you realize where the source is coming from. A groan leaving your lips while you shift in the bed to turn the dastardly thing off.

Yet you may there for a second more. Thinking. Unwilling to leave the warmth of your bed just yet. The feeling reminding you of the days you used to wake up at an ungodly hour just to get on a bus full of other sleep children. Well, until that group of friends take the back seats of the bus, but that won’t make you money just rotting in bed all day long.

You shift again, forcing yourself to lean up in your bed. A few tiny grumbles and huffs surrounding you when you do. The light weight of what feels like jawbreakers rolling into your lap as your eyes look down to find the rather adorable source.

Eldritch don't mind the sheer emptiness of space. They are used to it. What they fear is seeing so many stars and worlds and galaxies and then just...nothing.

Kharn & Argel Tal

I think world eater is the fastest I've ever learned a map, it took me two days to get 13k 😅. I really like the three new songs in wonder tales and have been playing them every day since the pack's release, and world eater in particular is quite addicting.

I had a lot of fun with this piece! Medusa is who i play as in both world eater and black mamba, and i just really got the urge to draw her whilst i was finishing up the TG art. I just really like this new design for her because it was really fun to draw ☺️

The only real tricky bit i had with this piece was the other two gorgons mainly due to lack of space. I kept them simple and i think they look cute here. Otherwise i also really like how the background turned out! These types of pieces are honestly a good way for me to get better with backgrounds 😆

So, I'll present 2 of some ocs I was cooking since few weeks but unable to sketch them until now. They're a part of a larger warband leaded by a dissident Word Bearer called Bahram and his three lieutenants:

- Malefaim, a lonely Death Guard,

- Anghèu, a Night Lord,

- and Werre, a World Eater traitor to his legion.

For the moment I've only designed Werre as a mutated Astartes/Manticore (I hesitated with making him a horse centaur) and Anghèu.

Some presentations now!

Werre:

He was a proud son of Terra' member of the War Hounds before Angron was found. He thought that he'll love his new Father but the deception was huge and he started hating him, especially when Angron forced the Nails on his sons. Werre didn't had another choice than to accept them and serve (he tried to pull out the Nail but it caused him an ineffable pain). He did until the the end of the Siege of Terra when he quit his Legion with few brothers to form a rogue warband.

Werre is difficult to apprehend due to the Butcher's Nails altering his personality and behaviour, always swinging betwen periods of depersonalization, sadness or violence. And being most of the time with powerful psyker don't help him at all to calm the constant pain.

He joined Bahram's warband later in life with his brothers, forming a larger one, stronger and more functional

Anghèu:

Of the warband, he's the youngest. Not a Nostramo born, his parents were descendants of baselines humans from a planet in the Thramas sector, serfs in a Night Lord war band's ship. He was taken from them when the warband started needed more Astartes writhing its ranks and the young Anghèu was at the perfect age to start the process. Little they knew or they didn't care about was that Anghèu was a Blank but it didn't stopped the Night Lord to made an Astartes out of him.

Years later his warband was defeated by another and Anghèu was left to die, his Blankness being intolerable to be near him (he was causing people head aches, lot of pain, sudden collapse and sometime he killed some serfs and slaves by accident). Bahram was the one to find him and didn't reject him: his blankness can be an advantage in combat. To help him a little, he created for the Night Lord an artefact based on the Aeldari soul stone to give him a relative presence in the warp, nullifying temporary the side effect of his blankness when he's wearing the artefact mounted as a collar.

He's a huuuuge picky eater, eating only some very specific thing. He smiles and laugh a lot but his laugh his kinda weird and often he manages to choke himself while laughing.

Werre and Anghèu are extremely close especially when the blankness of Anghèu sometime attenuate the psychics energies emited by the psyker that can trigger the Nails and can also attenuate the pain caused by them.

I'll talk more about them another time when I'll have the time to work a little more on them. For the moment I'm working on another project (not one of mine) and also on the design for Malefaim and Bahram.

For Malefaim, I want to go on a design based on bugs because I love bugs, so maybe a spider type tarentula because in my mind Malefaim have the phsysic of a sumo, so a large spider for a large boy maybe mixed with a moth (maybe a hummingbird moth) or some scarab for the tank aspect.

And for Bahram, since he's a master of possession, I want to include in his design some goat features. I will also look in my books and lessons what I can find to give him a look based on Indian art, maybe early 1st millennial, maybe based on the sculpture from the Bharhut and Sanchi Stūpas and early Gupta art (I'm reserving the Gandhara's art for someone else 🤭).

Little bonus: quick sketch of Anghèu and Werre taking a nap
