When I saw the painting ‘‘The death of Nelson’’ by Arthur William Devis, my very geeky brain went : what if you did that, but with a crashed Tau suit?
After months of work, I am very happy to finally call this one finished. or as finished as anything might be anyways.
Cheers!!
The compression on the images is a bit intense, so if you want to see the full res. you can find it here : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Xg0m4R
Fantastic twist on the reference! Tau are one of the less represented 40k factions in fanart. This looks awesome and I love the concept 
Thank you 
happy you like it!
Beautiful piece. I like your composition better than the original’s , as you take the viewer closer to the action, which makes the artwork more emotional.
Thank you, it’s a tall task to surpass the original aha
Yeah, I was pondering weather or not to make that comparison, but it’s my honest opinion.
