I have him as my desktop.. A male friend came over to see me, admired the artwork and started talking about beards...! I think he was wondering what his lady would think if he grew one.... blame me probably :lol:
He really is supurb...!
How about a life size painting of a Spartan Ephor :wink: hint, hint, nudge-nudge... :wink:

That's a good illustration lad!
My ONLY small "note" of this image, is that you could make the edges of the plume more lower & pointed...
Also, perhaps the long hair could be show in many braids.
Rest of image, it's fine indeed.

Maybe he'll braid his hair just before the battle. Wink

Very good picture though, great colours and proportian especially with the helmet. I think the cloak could have had a slightly less flourescent colour though, but that doesn't really make any difference to the overall art product.
