Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

I've made the portrait for my first, heretical playthrough on full release:

Very nice. But why he has Adeptus Mechanicus skull?

For the same reason he has an eagle:

Is that AI-generated and then retouched, a human artist, or pure AI?

Hybrid. I generated the initial portrait from a sketch, then drew the 40k symbology like chaos star and the omnissiah, redrew some parts to fit my vision like the feather pauldron on the right shoulder, the chest, and the mustache, then regenerated it some more to blend in the style.

Longes You do commissions? I got some OSRS gold I'd be willing to trade you.

At present - no.

After a good sleep, I updated to fix some major issues. And added a Drukhari pin because as the posture tells you - this is a very confused man in a world that turned out to be much bigger than he thought

He looks like he's having an identity crisis rather than being stark raving mad and evil, as he would if he was a true chaos follower.

One day you are just a low-ranking clerk of Adeptus Administratum, counting how much space corn will be space taxed this quarter, and the next thing you know you are a Rogue Trader, a giant bird is monologuing at you and the elves are stealing the sun. If only he had a towel for safety.

Looks dope!

It's pretty nice, except the Dark Eldar badge on the collar just looks like one of those various forms of "I'm queer" badges that tumblr kids stick all over their possessions. Ditch that and maybe the mechanicum badge and it'll be solid, even with the heretical staff.

I thought that was the whole point of the pin?

Good, coz I could not repay you anyway.
But if you decide to challenge your creativeness by making an RT-style potrait of a "stern but noble looking space-dwarf, with beard and stuff" who is going to be full pro-imperium orthodox, I'll salute your decision.
I doubt Owlcat will have a proper representaion of the dwarves.
As a bonus:

Dwarf Maul

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you

I just realized that the first dude looks like Sheogorath from Oblivion.

Looks great, thanks.

I now have my RT char portrait.

 

[Longes]

Glad you like it

Btw, I probably misread your post. If you just want yourself a portrait for non-commercial purposes - ask away. No promises on the delivery though.

I want more of them!

Question, Is it hard for a pure newcomer to the Warhammer franchise to understand what's happening in the game?

Probably a good idea to watch one of those Wk40k explained in 20 minutes videos on youtube

Looks a bit like Daniel Vavra.

Anyways, those portraits are pretty dope.

You can also ask for one.

Not any more than with Owlcat's prior Pathfinder titles. And the game has hyperlinks in dialogue for concepts that aren't explained through direct lore dumps, so you can just click on those when the need arises.

Cool didn't know that (avoiding the beta, as per usual on story-heavy games, no spoilers plux). Pretty neat feature for newcomers.

Hopefully not, because I'm in the same boat. And I've had friends that have offered to... erm... indoctrinate me. I refused. I want the game to do the talking.

After I've played the game, I'll look into it. Probably with a lot more zest, if the Rogue Trader's actually good.
