Hey everyone,
More Warhammer 40,000 commissions, hurray! But seriously, I should have some non 40k stuff coming up soon.
This image features a terminator of the Emperor's Shields space marine chapter as he stands before a demon-infested plinth to the Chaos god Slaanesh.

Absolutely awesome artwork man! Love the way You've painted it, and it's so wonderful that actually someone used the Tartaros Terminator amor for an awesome picture!

I think this is your best one, though all your pieces are excellent.

I do, but I can't do pieces featuring GW IP.

Damn, that's right...They're clever about concealing loopholes, too...Well, that's a pity; I really like your work!

The Terminator armor looks like the Heresy era, which either makes this piece before w40k, or the wearer a mighty hero of the Emperor's Shields.
What's up with the highly decorated aircraft?

Space Marine: You believe in god?
Tau: No.
Space Marine: *shoots* Yes!

Space Marine: You believe in god?
C. Space Marine: Yes.
Space Marine: You believe in my god?
C. Space Marine: No.
Space Marine: *shoots* Yes! My god has a bigger dick than your god.

It's funny since Space Marines do not believe in Gods...

Now that you mention it, I actually hardly recall them saying, "God-Emperor of Mankind"
But it makes good humor.

Beautiful job, I like the hammer and helmet especially.

A formidable warrior indeed! Something about the helmet makes him look mournful, which I find altogether appropriate.
Especially nice detailing in the shield and hammer.

That's incredible. The tentacles-ground is a stunning concept, and the way the terminator is streading through it in all his contemptful glory makes it even more awesome.

HEeey

He is ******* gorgeous! He a little looks like contemptor pattern dreadnought...But it makes he much cooler than standard terminator armor. Well done!
P.S. Also nice perspective, proportions and coloring. Very good sense of WH40k.

Tartaros armor is effin' badass, but to date I haven't seen any artwork of it beyond the GW models.
Thank you!

Very comprehensive and i like the color and detail and design all over.

You mentioned your colors being too "brown" in a previous video you did. This piece succeeds in overcoming that. You've got some strong, distinct colors here that don't stray into the muddy and murky realms where they all start to look the same. The whole piece looks really amazing and is wonderfully detailed as usual.
I am curious about some of the lighting though. It feels a bit more arbitrary than your usual work. Were you imagining a strong light source behind and to the right of the viewer? Because that's the only way I can explain the lighting on the face of the shield (which appears to be turned away from your primary light source in the sky), the lighting on the front of the terminator's legs, and the lighting on the lower face of the building.

Good points- the light on the skull centered on the shield is a bit extraneous, but that could be hashed up to whatever. Also, it's an important detail and what the client wants, the client gets.
As far the light on the leg and building, a lot of that is bounce, representing the reflected light from the ground.

Beautiful angles on this one
the tentacles, the purity seals, the everything is good here
I was thinking that if we got a closer look at those bodies left to hang, I bet they would some creepy smiles on them.

Jesus the details on this are sick! Nick, why you so awesome?

Man this is awesome. I loves me some Mk. IV marine helmets

Really, non 40k. Do you do that?
Just kidding, great work again mate.

I'm somewhat more interested in what that huge thing in the background is.
But still a stunning peace nonetheless.
