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.

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.

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

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."

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.

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.
