Warhammer 40k: Ultramarine Fan Art
This is my first attempt at making a Warhammer 40k fan art ever since I was introduced to the universe through the video game Dawn of War about 20 years ago. I wanted to go with something iconic that instantly screams Warhammer 40k, and as the Space Marines are one of my favourite faction with the Ultramarine chapter being the poster boy of the Warhammer 40k, I decided to go with them.
As I wanted this to be a quick project, I dd not really go ham on the details so I did all the modelling in Maya and did the texturing in Substance 3D Painter. The whole project took me a couple of days, in which modelling of the Space Marine and the Bolter took me 2 days and the texturing 1 day and another 1 day to pose and did the rendering in Marmoset Toolbag.
