Prayers and HerbsThis life was Aedan's, had been his for as long as he could remember. As soon as he could walk, Maira had taken him on her travels with her. When spring came, they'd set out across Tangnafedd, to all the places where the best herbs grew – wormwood in the hills in the North, basil in Gwylan Bay, lavender on the high fields near Silvermere, St. John's wort in the thickets of pine forests. Aedan helped his mother gather herbs, and prepare the ointments, poultices and infusions following her careful instructions. He knew how most of them were used, though he still often got the amounts wrong. Neither of them could read; the herbs, their name

"Little Jenny is out of her comfort zone. She wishes to be picked up by the service point at the Bay of Balar, preferably by a few good-looking Noldor." :giggle:

This commission for :iconshanxara: really pushed me, lol ;) And I seem to have been so busy making sure I got the armour design right that the powerpack is way off centre. >_< It's her character Rienzi, a Warhammer 40k space marine.

Liquid watercolour on Canson paper.

Gave me the opportunity to play around with some gritty textures. The one on the background was done with - clingfilm (applied to the wet paint and let dry).


Oh - for any in-game questions, please read the comments (by others) or ask his creator; I really have *no* clue about Warhammer. :giggle:

Impressive. It actually looks like there's a body inside that armor. ;}

[Don't mind me, I'm just annoyed with so-called "epic" proportions on Space Marines, which have the effect of making them look like their arms and legs have been displaced about a foot off their body. ;p]

Really like the color pallette and textures.

I sketched his body first and then put the armour on him to avoid just that :)

Don't space marines have two noticeable protrusions on their heads, as part of the black carapace? really well done however.
