Here's a titan that I did just a little while ago. I was rather fond of the results.

For credit- my client created the base (all I added was some gravel). It was also his idea to do up this titan as a harlequin. The color scheme matches his harlies, who are each black and white plus one of the bright colors featured on this mini.

I've posted him up on Cool Mini for anyone who cares to vote.

Well, here are the pictures:

That is beautiful.

That whole concept is utterly bizarre, but the execution is stunning!

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill
English economist & philosopher (1806 - 1873)

Excellent painting and composition of the scene. I bet the Space Marine will win...

Holy Carp! That's outstanding!

Nice. Did you airbrush any of this?

For other Wargame and miniature related stuff you can read my blog at http://tacticalrock.blogspot.com

Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?

Wow. Amazing. Crisp work on the lozenge patterns, very nice pastels to contrast with the black and white, fine blending on those large surfaces.
Excellent base, too -- compliments to your client!
Did you do any sculpting, such as the face on the titan's head? I painted a troupe of about 20 Harlequins when GW/Citadel first produced them ('90-'91, I think) and had a Harlequin Jetbike with a grinning-face-shaped front fairing, of which this titan's head reminds me. I also painted one of my Eldar robots and War Walkers (about 3" tall) in Harlequin colors, but they were just flat base coats, nowhere near as good as what you've done.

Hey that's cool. I like the base work and the wounded SM is a nice touch....

That is one of the coolest paint jobs I've ever seen! Definitely something to be extremely proud of! I'm sure your client will love how it stands out on the table too. :)
