Warhammer Space Marines by Chris Trefz

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. 

"They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them and in the furnace of war I shall forge them. They shall be of iron will and steely sinew. In great armor I shall clad them and with the mightiest weapons shall they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight them. They shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines...and they shall know no fear."

They are foremost among the defenders of Humanity, the greatest of the Emperor of Mankind's warriors. They are barely Human at all, but superhuman; having been made superior in all respects to a normal man by a harsh regime of genetic modification, psycho-conditioning, and rigorous training.

Drawing inspiration from the 1998 American movie, I captured the iconic monster in the midst of a gripping struggle with a gigantic octopus. This illustration combines the modern design of Godzilla with the charm and spirit of classic Japanese films, bringing to life an exciting clash of titans in the depths of the ocean. The Artwork Description In this pencil drawing, which I later scanned and digitally colored, Godzilla takes center stage as he grapples with a colossal octopus lurking beneath the ocean's surface. The majority of the octopus remains hidden, allowing only its tentacles to emerge, entangling around Godzilla's powerful arms. The tension is palpable as Godzilla twists and strains, roaring in ...
