The making of DoH - Time lapse 02

[@seancompton8889]

Music took me back to 80s action hero movie times ,love the art salamanders forever

[@marklouisspark]

Was asked to record me drawing awhile back. Wasn't sure if people would find it entertaining since the process of doing it can be tedious after a certain amount of time, but it seems some do so was worth it :). Also... No ones mentioned it yet but @ the end I spelled Better as "Beter"... Not again! Fuck XD That's when you know I screwed up when distributing talent points to the talent tree haha.

[@s2korpionic]

Your sketches are damn good. Also I wanna say I really appreciate you drawing the RT version of 40k (well... 30k). The current 40k art styles have a definite slant of hero-power fantasy to it. This darker version is definitely what we needed.

[@catnium]

new wh40k is rated all ages, old skool wh40k was rated 18+ thats why it looks the way it does now...so they could sell to a bigger audience and branch out with war hammer for kids story books..

I’ve gotten so many people who had no idea about warhammer absolutely infected by the emperors love and nurgles rot because of you life giving art !!! You are a true master of this craft . I wish you all the success in life ! Please consider more , I would gladly play a go fund me to get a movie - even if you were a lead art director, as I know how much work you must have spent. Again, thank you.

[@Dontlicktheballoons]

Holy shit man. Thank you for this! And thank you for giving me the feeling of 40k I had when I first fell in love with the horrid nightmare of the 41st millennium. Your work gave me an emotional hit I haven't cought in years. Thank you!

[@marklouisspark]

I'm a 90s kid myself. Thanks to my father, some of that magic of art and music spilled over to me and when introduced to warhammer after some years it's how it reflected. Reading sci fi comics in the living room with mac n cheese and jub jubes and a hint of smoke due to father smoking indoors with him blasing rock music while folding laundry and playing star trek in the background was just another day XD. Glad I can throw you back for just a moment!

[@Oblivius33]

After all the tacti-cool designs where even the Orks have learned how to bolt a jet engine to a car and make it look professional, a look back at the 80s metal design that inspired the original Warhammer 40k is sorely needed.

I know most fans these days don't connect with this but for us it's refreshing indeed :) and its nice to see this spark interest in new fans and explore ages of old

Your pencil work is astounding.

[@bigmoe9856]

My question: How many times did you have to redraw this as the scene progressed?

[@marklouisspark]

I don't normally redraw anything unless I spilled coffee on it or folded the paper a bit. Most of the time it's a one time shot! I have a 2 hr time span to create the general look before the vivid imagery starts changing so making outlines quickly helps ground it. Overall the drawing took 3 days :)

[@bigmoe9856]

[@LurkMoar101]

I need to ask, is all the structure and detail out of your imagination, or do you have some inspiration from somewhere? Like I understand the whole gothic cathedral aesthetic is a given in 30/40K but you really go deep with the detail. Either way, absolutely badass. Also, I fucking love that drawing of the Doredeo class Dreadnaught. The Doredeo was the very first metal 40K miniature I ever bought back in the 90s.

[@marklouisspark]

I use reference where I can, such as certain designs of vehicles and ships i'd say about 20% of it is reference, the rest is just me free styling. Some easter eggs sometimes of older designs for things like guns etc. I'm used to seeing details based off older drawings and artworks from days when fantasy artists filled their worlds when drawing or painting so it helps bridge those gaps as it's what i'm more used to :)

[@LurkMoar101]

This is amazing work my guy! I want to get into 3D animation and was wondering what software you use for the different steps such as modelling, animating etc. I saw you use unreal in another video, I'm assuming that was for just animating?

[@Akillon1]

Before the release of GW Angels of Death and some other animations your work is unique and amazing. I do hope that you get some help with animations, storytelling and other stuff, that cannot be done good by one person. And I hope you'll not lose enthusiasm in next few years. I wish you good fortune.

[@marklouisspark]

It is only unique because I forge what was lost :) I give more credit to the artists who inspired me when it comes down to that. Fear not! I come from a line of stubborn blood. Once we are fixated on something the mission will be done, no matter if we like it or not, and for however long. This project is my mark on the world, even if it is for a small community, that is how I treat this. Adding any other artists will water down the goal of showing an example of will power individuals can possess. Any hollywood artist can come and tell me what's wrong with my work, but I guarantee none of them will ever pick up the torch to achieve such a feat. They know what it takes to make a 60 minute plus film at this level of detail as a studio, they could not fathom doing it on their own, which is what makes this special for me. It's also good for showing the new generations that people are more than capable if they put their mind and heart into it and that it takes hard work to get what you want.

[@dominicbrady1539]

Why do the Ultramarines have such puffy blonde 80s hair? Is that canon? If so, how come?

[@kennethbedwell5188]

Dominic Brady it was an 80’s thing. If you look at the original Rogue Trader, there is a ton of Mad Max/ Heavy Metal influences there. The Vylka Fenrika hair styles are all Mad Maxian it’s insane. Not Viking at all.

[@dominicbrady1539]

@@kennethbedwell5188 Thanks Bro.

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

Yeah, it’s pretty funny when you look at some of the early art where the Marines have things like “Born to Kill!” and “Die!” scrawled on their power armour, punk style- while they’re sitting in a bar having drinks! They hadn’t quite “evolved” into their current form yet 😉

so what I am getting from this is that the next part will be 2 years from now? also that is some good drawing no wonder why the animation is so detailed if this is your reference. man should just make a 40k manga.

That way he gets some cash for all his hard work and a badass pigeon that survived a stapling and a journey of hundreds of miles. Damn that's some funny shit man, still cracking up.

[@kennethcastillo9667]

I'm sorry but I'm a lil bit bugged with what is written below that each episode has 2 years buffer. Does it mean we need to wait 'til 2022 for it to be finished or it is already good to go with few tweaks needed before being launched?

[@marklouisspark]

This isn't something that can be done overnight. People were down it was gonna take 6 years for me to create the full movie, so instead I've cut it into parts of 3. Think about it, 20 minutes took me a year and a half. By the time i'm done, I will have created a run time of 60+ mins after 6 years (4 years left). Astartes takes an average 5-7 months per episode and that's with more polish than I. Lord Inquisitor 7 years 8 minute video BUT with maximum visual quality. Ending of Part 1 has had a time lapse video already stating the time it will take for each episode and how long ill be doing this for. No matter how many times I seem to say or write it out, people always miss the information. CGI isn't created out of thin air as most people believe :P Takes a lot of work to do. And the reason I don't get help from other artists is because this is what i'm gonna leave behind so when i'm 90 I can show my great grand kids what I was able to create on my own back in the day.

[@kennethcastillo9667]

@@marklouisspark no worries for me. I've been always down with waiting for a great WH content. I have not read about the timeframe needed to create the part 2 but considering how long it took Astartes which is one i'm also waiting for the release of part 5, it is something that doesn't even bother me anymore. Don't be offended of what i said, i myself do a bit of animation in games as i do modding. A simple custom reload for animations will took you quite a while to finish it especially plus the fixes. It took me quite a good amount time to be able to integrate it in the games as I'm not an IT graduate or anything related whatsoever.

[@krakca]

@@marklouisspark You could still model the stuff you enjoy modeling, but for the boring and repetitive stuff you could draw the lines on the canvas and let somebody else fill it in or make it move. Da Vinci did that too, but still took all the credit. Its your vision after all. Maybe just an animator, animated facial expression would already have a huge impact on the project and with the time you save on that part 2 might just come a bit faster.
