The Khornepocalypse

It's a shame the panels cover each other so much; the details in those patterns are great! Subtle symbols made up of other shapes, really very Chaosy. Did make me think of Tron a little bit though :P

Reminds me of the Siege Engine in Oblivion.

After you said that I now want to make a World Eaters army or just any Chaos Space Marine army based on the Daedra from Oblivion.

Thanks all - it's not a hard technique at all, just fiddly and time consuming to get right. The actual inspiration is DooM 3:





As for the hows, I started with a vague idea in my head of what I wanted it to look like (eg a skull) and sketched out with a thin white coat on one side the layout for the skull, then drew a bunch of the cardinal lines around it followed by the finer detail and embelishment lines. I then mirror the skull and cardinal lines, adding unique embellishments as I go. This gives it an almost but not quite symmetrical look, which I feel adds to the impact.
The white lines are cleaned up and any errors corrected, then given a drybrush in Blazing orange. This is the source of the glow effect as well as a base colour. After that I use Golden Yellow. On the larger panels I did some spot drybrushing on the larger intersections of several lines, but they all had areas overpainted with yellow. I then overpaint with white as the final highlight.
Last step is to get the orange again and go over any non white or yellow lines, blend in the highlights if needed (they can be too stark if not careful), and then add in a few more embellishment lines in straight orange. For this I used various thicknesses of paint so some are quite visible but others are fairly faint and ghostly. My first test panel had and orange ink wash, but I felt it muted the highlights too much, and adding the gloss coat deepens the shadows so it was unnecessary.

I see that. Following the hell out of your blog now. Only wasn't before because I was unaware of it

I just "followed" too, as for Tron. Loved it for the Daft Punk soundtrack especially.

Beautiful, love the speech bubbles too.

Thanks ^_^

Other idea was:
"Wait 'til the ambassador hears about this!"
"I am the ambassador!"
