CREATURE FEATURE 11

Latest  black and white Creature Portrait...this time using some interesting photo ref I got from the local zoo of Turkey head detailing ( I believe the fleshy area in question is called the Wattle or Major Caruncle) and then combined it with a photo of a friend to create a human in the process of mutation.

WARHAMMER 40000 : KILLTEAM - sketchbook

Sometimes artwork needed to be turned around very quickly, in which case I'd put together sketches for the 3D Artist's to work from (a few years ago I'd use paper and pen but now it's quicker to use my Wacom Cintiq).
