Stormlord Superheavy Tank in Praetorian colors.

[odinsgrandson]

Here is a Stormlord that I finished recently for a Praetorian Imperial Guard force (as a commission). This is definitely a centerpiece for the army.

Commentary is always welcome.

[Aldramelech]

Goodbye

[MarshalAdamar]

WOW! Does that count as commentary? That really is an amazing paint job. Well done!

dude, if you didnt live in utah, id be sending my exorcists your way. as a side note, do you live near Bryce canyon? it amuses me as my name is Bryce, i found out about it by an old pen pal from salt lake.

The rivets and weathering are awesome. I love how it almost has a carnival feel, but you know it's going to blow you apart and not have a 1000 clowns pop out. (not criticising in any way, just awed by the colors together). I know the Pret colors tend to be bold with the uniforms, but that is fabulous. I would love to see the army to go with it.

Nicely done. There is a lot going on there and it looks good.

[ColCorbane]

Outstanding sir, I'm very envious of your freehand abilities.

[entendre_entendre]

that is jaw droppingly good. hats off to you sir.

[Col.Gravis]

Lovely job, I went off brightly cloured Praetorian vehicles, but you've pulled it off in a way thats not so garish, I hope we'll be seeing more of this commission painted up!

[Cryl]

Really nice freehand, I can imagine that looks staggeringly pretty surrounded by infantry. Has a very WHFB Empire feel about it, nice work.

[Madness]

I'm not a threadhead but that's extremely sweet.

[crazyredpraetorian]

Very nice work, I love red tanks.:D

[Brass Scorpion]

Really cool!

By the way, most of the commissions I do I get through the mail. Very few are from people I meet in person.


I'm not too far from Bryce Canyon. That is a beautiful place.

I've actually used it as an inspiration for some bases on minis. right now, I'm trying to set a diorama in that sort of terrain, and I think it will do nicely.

You know, when I was painting it up in our local game store, the comment I got loudest was "Awesome Optimus Prime tank."

You know, when I was painting it up in our local game store, the comment I got loudest was "Awesome Optimus Prime tank." I need the coordinates of that game store and a description of the guy. I'll be reading "slapping people in the face real hard for dummies" on the plane.

I grew up with G1, that's probably what does it for me.

The trick to being able to take commissions is to learn to paint to a high standard very quickly. However good you are, strive to get better, and however fast you are strive to get faster.

It isn't as hard a balance as it sounds, but the two elements are both extremely important if you want to make a living as a painter.

[gcsmith]

Oh i dnt wanna make a living from it, just money for armies and stuff. You know like small commisions or a single large one every so often

[Faultie]

Well, I'm trying to think of something nice to say, but just about anything will sound cliche'd and over used.

Instead, I'll just stare silently at that beautiful tank.

Reverence is a pretty high compliment in my book. Thanks.
