Description
just like I said..AWESOME!
the overall style is nifty, but the artist clearly hasn't observed certain very important but unspoken rules of Warhammer aesthetics:
1. Pauldrons are enormous; deviation from this is heresy.
2. Orks have big heads, always.
in addition, the chainsword would snap in a gentle breeze like a twig and that storm(?)bolter's magazine is absurdly tiny. AND the greenskin's face is more that of the Hulk than a right and proper WAAAGH! boy's.
and no, i wouldn't forgive these points for the sake of them being part of the "artistic interpretation"; they just look wrong in their present context. i wouldn't even recognize that as an Ork if it wasn't green with rally tape here and there.
Who cares? It looks awesome so we don't need to care about asthe..assthe..aesthetics or whatever those are.
A choppa on a choppa.
