Bragg.... Man, I teared up when he died X(
But I really appreciate the fanart! It's really close to how I pictured him myself. It's hard to find good stuff and you essentially nailed it! Ah, I'll never forget the pat where he fastens two auto-cannons together because one just wasn't enough...

Always nice to hear that what I've drawn resembles others idea of what a character looks like, as well as my own!

I hate Cuu, i really friggin do, why? not just he killed Bragg, not just for what he did to Corbec either, no its not quite that simple, the thing is he killed THE ONLY TWO GHOSTS I COULD RELATE WITH -_-

I'm quite glad Larkin put one in him, he deserved it after what he did to Bragg and after what he did to Corbec, and after being fethin brainwashed.

RIP Bragg, may the pipes of Tanith forever play for you at the emperors side.

First and last and fething only forever

I miss him, his heavy weapon and THE Sacra

poor bragg. another GG favorite, until hi untimely death. i can vaguely remember how i used to imagine him, but unfortunately, due to sustained periods of watching tv,
i cant help imagining him as Mr T, from the a team, much to my embarassment. great work, as always,

erik

I want to say that, as much as I love this pic, that the heavy autocannon he lugs around in the series always seems...bigger...than what you've shown. Still awesome, mind you, but I imagined it being nearly as big as him in height and looking a bit like an old timey gatlin gun.

dukeleto In reply to SengokuTenno [2008-06-03 08:39:23 +0000 UTC]

See my reply to Ganzthul, above.
I'm not so keen on the exaggerated style of some 40k art & fiction, I prefer a more muted, realistic depiction of size & power.
The cannon is closely based on an MG42/MG3 which is a devastating full calibre weapon that it takes a VERY large man to fire from the hip.

Ganzthul [2008-04-22 17:58:57 +0000 UTC]

I always imagined Bragg beeing more like an Ogryn-Style Human. More muscles. Anyway, nice work .

dukeleto In reply to Ganzthul [2008-04-23 06:31:57 +0000 UTC]

what I love about Abnetts writing is the much more realistic, human, believable take on the 41st millennium. So I view Bragg as a big man, but not unnaturally so. Also don't forget the friendly, sensitive side to him. I feel I conveyed that contradiction in him, so I'm happy!
Cheers for the comment.
