Skaven, Packmasters and Giant Rats (c) Games Workshop

Made for the bottom of a certificate.

I know it has flaws, but I only recently started drawing/using Photoshop again and want to get better, so if you want to critique it, go right ahead.

The texture in the background was made in photoshop from a photo I took of our scratched and battered baking tray.

Yeah, our baking tray is disgusting. But it works for Skaven backgrounds apparently o_o

[EDIT] I've uploaded a proper sized version with better resolution :) My computer only worked in safemode and on the lowest screen resolution when I first uploaded it, so it looked huge on my screen. Now my computer is working again, I can see ... yeah, not so big. Tiniest fullview ever!

That looks.. astoundingly cool. Your shading almost makes the picture look 3D. The only suggestion I could make is to strengthen the light coming from the warpstone - it's kind of too muted to be noticeable.

-Excellent- picture. o.o

Thankyou so much!

The glow was brighter to begin with while I was working on it, but it made the focus point of the picture a rat's butt XD So I dulled it so the whip stood out more. But you're right, I think I went too far in the other direction and it couldn't hurt to have something counteract all that brown!

Thanks again ^_^

It's still a freaking incredible pic. I was almost suspicious of theft from the armybook until I fullviewed it. >.< Do you use a tablet?
:iconshivani11:
LOL, 'suspicious of theft from the armybook' is a hell of a compliment XD Thanks! I don't have a tablet, I'd like one though. I just draw it straight on photoshop.

What about your style, it's really steampunk and graphic novelly and awesome ^_^ What do you use?
:iconmogett:
I use a tablet, Flash MX and OpenCanvas 1.1, plus Photoshop for resizing stuff. >.>
:iconshivani11:
Ok, so I only know what two of those things are but it gets good results =D
:iconlawenta:
I think you are creative genius for using something like that for a background.
And the picture looks really good!

Well I suck at baking so I'm glad I could finally use it for something XD

And thankyou very much! ^_^
