I know I had gone over the WIP and preview and so on ad nauseum, but I cannot give enough credit to your effort in this despite my comment getting to the nitty gritty. I think where it lies in strength is the facial aesthetic, something that has the highest margin of failure. Yet, ultimately, you pulled it off. While I think the facial pic of Torturer was something that was certainly not out of the ordinary which might be my only real criticism upon retrospect, your close-up was what made it different from many others. It's the technique that steals the show here. The slobbering tongue mixed with pale skin, bloodshot eyes, drug vials in the back ready for injection, and above all else the mechanics of the armor and daemonic mask. That mask gets more justice than anything else of this pic save for the face/hair. It shows the same skill you've displayed with the Primarch pieces.

The coloring and armor perspective works as a whole. The back might be a bit off kilter since his armor has been more than once open to shaping interpretation, but to each his/her own. Overall, an excellent tribute to our soon-to-be-purged Noise Raptor.
