An unusual traveller, carrying among other trinkets a portable faerie house (no that is not a lantern, it is a faerie house :) ), startled by dome noises in the bushes. I'm geting mixed opinions about his horns. How is better with or without ?

Isnt it funny that not a single person knows the horn gods name in Celtic mythology? Maybe Im just a dork, but considering the element of fantasy I would think it be mentioned. His name is Cernunnos, god of virility.

It truly is a great picture, but my suggestion would be to keep the horns but make them a little more realistic. As they are now they look almost like a mix between Moose and Deer horns. If you seperated them into paddles & true horns/antlers I think it would give it a very natural balanced look.

Yay, keep the horns. In fact make them bigger!

I agree with keeping the horn. I think you should add more detail to the meeting point of hair and horn though, because the hair does not seem to flow "around" the horn, but instead just lie under it.

You are undoubtedly one of the most talented artist in the woods.

I like the horns, thoug perhaps of a more slender form. They are wonderful either way, and truly bring out the character, I do very much like this picture, and you caught the movement excellently, it makes me feel like he has discovered that he is being followed (by I or any other person looking at the scene) absolutely fantastic.

There is a SFF series by Sarah Douglas that includes a type of people that have horns known as the Acar. As their wiseones progress down the paths of wisdom, their horns grow larger. This reminds me of those stories and this man might be one of their shamans. Very interesting and well done!

I like the horns, myself. Maybe if you based them on a deer instead of an elk, they might look a bit better. But it’s a cool idea.

The horns are fine, in my opinion. His expression is very good, as if you surprised him.
