SciFi and Fantasy Art Soldiers of Myrmidia by John D P Keane


	A troop of the Goddess Myrmidia’s soldiers marching to war. This picture is too clean for my liking. One of the things I like about Warhammer is the grimy, grim atmosphere it promotes. I drew this in Spring 1997 and feel that I could produce something much closer to the Warhammer feel if I were to try now. 0.5mm mech pencil. (Warpstone Issue 5)

29 Jul 2001	Andrea Nichole Walker	Loading... I like the way each foot-soldier (or wotever you call 'em) has a unique face... and possibly a life before and after the picture's still-frame. reads that over and decides it sounds wierd well, either way I likes it. Looks like the horse is looking you right in the eye maybe HE is the one to tell the story.
16 Nov 2001	Josh	Loading... Very impressive drawing!! The Imperial soldiers and their leader are drawn very realistically!! But, if they're going into a bloody, harsh battle, methinks their morale won't stay that high for very long!
19 Jan 2002	Helen Pye	Loading... Wow! How much detail on the chainmail? Excellent art of excellent Warhammer.
29 Mar 2002	Kevin G Hansen	Loading... I try and try and try and I just can't seem to get this kind of detail in my own stuff. Great use of shadow and the look on the troops face tell of grim battles both in the past and in the future.
5 Apr 2002	Michael W. Burns	Loading... Very cool pic indeed.
24 Dec 2002	Anonymous	Loading... This is darn good! How could you manage to put so many different faces in one drawing? Very nice!
3 Dec 2003	Anonymous	Loading... Its really really good but you shouldnt make the armor show the muscles in his chest because well its armor and its not soposed to be riped like that but good work you should try to flaten the armor and may put like a bird with its wings open on it or somthin like that but good job
17 Jul 2004	Carson	Loading... Great picture! All of your work reminds me of my own (I also work with .5 mm mechanical pencils) I love the way you did the chainmail. I usually use THOUSANDS of circles to create the effect. This seems much more effecient and realistic.
28 May 2009	Zach Polar Bexar Rath	Loading... dude, i’d love to see what you can draw for warhammer now! 8D
