Another character sketch done in a similar way to „The Mercenary“. Again, a certain grittiness is what I was striving for. He’s supposed to look like he’s seen a lot in his days; not book-learned but rather world-wise.

Har, Har, First comment! I'm always delighted to find warriors in Elfwood that are realistically equipped and look like they had seen what "war" really means. And though your colour pictures are great, I like your b&w drawings best! Oddly enough there are few images in this gallery that I'm more happy with than this one (Vanitas and Passion maybe). This one really worked out so quickly and spontaneously; in fact I simply awakened at 2 o'clock in the night, drew it, inked it and it was finished in about half an hour...

You have captured the look that men of war acquire after years of battle wonderfully. I especially like the weathered and creased face. Brilliant.
