This pic is one of those times it shows my love-hate relationship with my current scanner, making me use something like Paint to make a clean background. >.< Makes me wish I could call in Exterimatis on the thing.
Anyway, this is the second of my Warhammer 40K related artwork, this time a loyal sergeant of the Sons of Sanguinius - the Blood Angels. Of all the First Founding Chapters, the Blood Angels have been the most affected by their Primarch - their love of the skies, their fair features and hair, master artisans...and The Flaw - the Red Thirst and Black Rage. The Black Rage is the grim reminder of the mortality of the Sons of Sanguinius wherein a Brother falls to visions of the last hours of their long-lost Primarch and seeks only death, in which the chaplains seperate the affected into the fearsome Death Company - those who survived the battle meet the Mercy of Astrorath namely because those affected the Rage would turn into little more than savage animals (or something fairly close to a Khrone Berserker) if they fell to the other part of the Flaw, The Red Thirst. This thirst is a bloodlust every Blood Angel does their best to hold in check - a desire to plunge headlong into a bloody melee and slake their thirst in the blood of the fallen. Some have been seeking cures for the flaw and do all they can to steel their Battle-Brothers from falling into the Thirst while others (the Sanguinary Priests) encourage their Battle-Brothers to embrace and enmesh themselves in the Thirst. As such, this sergeant is already in the depths of his Thirst and has dropped his bolt pistol and in a angry roar readies his power sword and keeps a krak grenade in hand to charge the enemy and to spill the blood of the enemies of the Emperor.
Perhaps the Thirst is what helps them steady themselves in the Emperor's name and keeps them from falling into Chaos or worse...but regardless it's a genetic flaw that plagues the Blood Angels and its successor chapters.
