Description
Finishing up my trade pics from earlier this year, this is a trade for who wanted to see a Rolls Royce WWI tank. Yes, Rolls made tanks in their earlier years. Sadly doesn't look like they're quite as posh as they are today, but at least Sergeant Artimus enjoys it! Let's hope Lieutenant Livingston can take the heat!The tank belongs to Rolls Royce and the respective owners. Artimus and the Livingston belong to me. So does the artwork.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

You have outdone yourself sir! And the best part is, I know you'll probably eventually top this!

Wow, that was actually a real tank? Haha, well what a bland, never would have guessed it were real had you not said it was. Fascinating blend of car and... well, tank.
Also it looks like the drivers are having fun!

It was a part of the early era or tanks, like any vehicle type there were a lot of bizarre designs in the early stages. Thanks a lot for the comment, pal!

Not the sort of Rolls I'm used to, that's for sure. A very solid rendition of this beefed up machine indeed, it suits A'n'L very well.

Hahaha, this was back when Rolls really wasn't restricted by its own stodgy image! Nonetheless, it was fun to do!
Thanks!

If you want to blast your enemies, why not to do it with style!

As much style as you can fit in a tank, that's for sure! This Rolls was a challenge, but it was worth it! Thanks a lot!

Awesome! Thank you so much for this! my only gripe would be the missing vickers machine gun sticking out of the turret, other than that its awesome to see your take on a unique WWI Military Vehicle.

Aw, shoot, the one reference pic I use that doesn't have a gun turns out to be the main one I use (12th pic in b&w from the google image search you provided) Sorry about that, lesson learned! Glad you can still enjoy the rest of it! Thanks and looking forward to the TR6!

I say, Liv's a higher ranking officer than Arty? By jove, it's an honour to serve. Love the thick outlining on this and the WW1 plane in the air. TANKS a lot!

Nah, Livinston's a private, but the alliteration was too good to resist! Thanks a lot for the comment and support, AM! Good show!

I don't know why, but this made me laugh. I guess it's because of how Artimus enjoys it XD
Anyway, that's one cool looking tank, can't deny that.

didn't know RR made tanks,but, like everything during a war, they had to switch, I'm sure.

excellent job on this!

I only learned the same thing when I was asked to do this commission, though I do recall them using their engines for planes in WWII. Either way, this was a fun pic to try and toon up!
Thanks a lot for the comment!
And who would dare make fun of a stash that sweet?

Pretty swanky for a tank. It's actually a perfect vehicle for these posh, archaic, rowdy gents.

It really does capture their personalities well, which is why I went and added them to this pic! Thanks a lot, Derek!

Hahah, fantastic! I had to check that this was a real tank and not a hybrid designed by you!
I wonder if Artimus is on his way to the Wacky Races?
I also wonder if that fellow in the background is an ancestor of Goof, his chin is unmistakable!

AgentC-24 In reply to professorfandango [2013-03-19 12:26:24 +0000 UTC]
Well, that is quite the compliment! I give credit to for finding this beastly machine!
As for their race entry, that's being worked on! And that could very well be Goof's great grandpa Kaiser VonGoof!
Thanks for the input, pal!

Niiiiice WWII I feel is often far overrated in terms of technological and stylistic advance. The armored car is more than proof of that.

I think WWII gets the popularity since it's more recent (the last of the WWI vets have just passed on), and there was much more footage of it and the media behind it. Either way, glad I was able to entertain with this WWI tribute!
