I drew some lil Warhammer 40k Youtube badges for @/BehindtheGrindTV! First time for everything!

All badges can be seen on my Ko-Fi:

Its a helmet of the Chapter Master from Warhammer 40k. Ultramarine blue helm with red eyes, golden laurels, a small golden skull on the forehead, and a red cybernetic eye on the right.

Spent the weekend painting chunky boys. I hate the regular hammers and small square shields. They don't feel very "vampire-coded" to me, so I took some liberties with my kitbashing.

Commission for AutumnPumpkin8068 on Reddit
Was an absolute blast drawing their #ForHonor OC!

Full illustration with details on my Ko-Fi
ko-fi.com/i/IB0S1262NOW
A For Honor original character, so she is 11th century/iron age flavored. She wears fully plated armor from head to toe - her helmet has a long horizontal slit for her eyes, with holes around her nose and mouth in a floral cross shape. Floral designs don her armor in gold. She has a gauntlet with the same design. She holds a rapier that she is wiping blood from on her poofy red sleeve. She also wears a red fabric around her waist.

Busy waiting for my Alpha readers to finish reading my third book and give feedback.

So, I stole an Iron Hands character and turned him into a Blood Angel
