This is a portrait of Daryl, my Creative Director at work! I'll be showing this to him tomorrow! Hope he likes it. I think it turned out really Tolkein-y.

-- Nothing is too hard or too easy. Everything takes up an effort to do. Visit my club :iconbatic: An perfect place if you like roleplaying with awesome concept and settings.  Very nice, especially the glowing sword.
Thanks Carthegian! You're right about the shadows.
 Thank you very much!

We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

I don't know your co-worker so hard to say on the reference but his face definitely looks like someone that I could recognize if I saw them. Nice expression as well. As always, I love your little details...your costumes are always great, all those little touches that make the image really special! I think you've done great on the fabric textures, metal textures, etc.. The light on the top of the cape is especially well done and I like how you have the red glow of the sword touching and defining the folds inside it. I only have two suggestions. First, I think the cape would be a little more shadowed directly behind his legs and calves, secondly, although I love the textured background, I think he would stand out more if you put the area where the back wall meets the ground, and around behind his feet in shadow. I think it would make for a bit more drama. I love the Tolkien-esque writing around the archway as well, so I would have that still visible....I just think it would help if there was more darkness towards the ground.
Lovely work as always...I can't say enough good things about it really. I bet your co-worker loves it!!
