A sketch of Sanguinius on Baal. My headcanon is that he wore a lot of light long clothes. Like, Baal is a desert planet, why is he depicted as pale and in a toga? I think wearing a lot of clothes would make more sense. Yes, he is a primarch, such temperatures are probably not a problem for him, but he grew up in a culture of people living in the desert. I don't think he would wear a toga, which is not typical for them, plus he was a leader and was respected. Ornate clothes could well indicate his status.

Kinda wanna do a series of “portraits” of the girls with their respective Chapter Masters, Fig was the first to come to mind just for the very obvious sort of. Holy Infant/Madonna and child symbolism

I have been told Finnish circles call Space Marines guinea pigs (marsu) probably because it's just way shorter and easier to say, which makes sense, and also is just excellent to hear.

I don’t fully know Sanguinius’s story and this likely more my personal interpretation, but I tend to see him as the embodiment of the Emperor’s good side. Sanguinius is beautiful, charismatic, and those who meet him have no doubt that he is the best among the Emperor’s sons. Even in the Imperium Secundus, when the Emperor was feared dead (before the Siege of Terra), there was no doubt that Sanguinius should be the new emperor. Practically all of his brothers liked him and respected him.

So it’s natural that people see him as angelic, a perfect man, as close to godliness as possible even in the era of the Emperor’s Imperial Truth. I imagine he inherited the raw psychic charisma of his father, so that everyone only saw the angel they believed him to be. In that sense, while there’s certainly much that could be explored of the man himself, I think Sanguinius is better used as this seemingly perfect being that everyone inevitably measures themselves against, becoming an unwitting mirror that reflects others.

This would especially be the case for the Blood Angels, who are sons of this angelic man, and yet are subject to terrible curses of the Red Thirst and the Black Rage (or severe misfortune and misery in the case of the Lamenters successor chapter).

To be a son of Sanguinius is to be a razor’s edge away from becoming a monster, either from literal or figurative bloodlust. The former comes from a horrible genetic flaw, the latter from a betrayal so treacherous and a death so horrible it echos throughout the Angels’ memories.

How horrible is this mutation, this ticking time bomb in your geneseed, when you yourself began life as an irradiated wretch doomed to die from radiation poisoning and cancer, to achieve perfection that is fatally flawed, thirsting for blood and haunted by your father’s death?

This is the legacy of Sanguinius, one he would not have chosen for his beloved sons, and one that torments them to this day even through horrendous events and the near loss of their homeworld. Tragedy and madness, held off only by their father’s example and artistic pursuits.

Sketch of Dante and Sanguinius heavily inspired by a painting “A Scout is Loyal” done by Norman Rockwell. I’ll finish it at some point between my shifts :’)

I’m going to try to make it look more like a painting versus my chalk brush stuff. Hardest part (figuring out what the hell their armor looks like and what Dante’s halo looks like from the side) is done so the rest rolls easy.
