Ooo... +|stays hiden behind her newly stolen..Uh..Borrowed guy.|+ they look real mean... I uh... +|steps back.. Slowly.. Draging the guy with her.. Still hideing behind him|+ i gotta go...

Oooh, evil minions! Very intersesting monster designs...especially the beastie with the scythe-like claws. Excellent shading here, but it'd be wonderful to see these creatures in colour .

Schweet SOLliness. THIS is what I'm talkin about.

WOW! A Carnfex, a Genestealer, a Lictor and a Ripper from a ripper swarm. Your realy excellent

Nice piece o work. I luv bugs. hmmmmm u got any other drawings like that or do u know any one who does ? i think ill make that my wallpaper. yeh! itd be excellent if there was some color keep em coming

Hey, cool picture. I used to play 40k but i dont much anymore, although i still love the storyline and all the art... Anyway, try to use more foreshortening in your pictures. Notice that the carnifex's scythes are all going straight to the left or right? The picture would be much more interesting and believeable if some of them were foreshortened, i.E. Coming towards or going away from the viewer. Same thing with hands, like the lictor's- the fingers should be behind each other instead of all in a row, or even better in a claw-type pose. Also, the lictor's stance should be more leaning forward, just keep in mind the center of gravity with those type of legs. Draw more tyranids!

Rocco Anthony Davis replies: "....a doodle cause by mass boredom gets all this eh? well the aim of the scythes going left and right was to show them off. I couldn't be asked with foreshortening as it was a five minute sketch."

nice swarm
