I like making portraits. Here are Vasily, Alexei and Vsevolod who are members of the crack 69th Imperial Infantry Regiment of the Line. I gave this unit a particularly Russian flavor, hence rendering these fellows as Russians.

I can definitely see the Russian-ness of the 2 guys on top, but the larger, closer guy looks like he should be a Musketeer!
All for one, and one for me! ^_^ hehehe, I changed it on purpose

Wow so much expression on the faces! I wish I could do that. Is this a sketch for practising faces or will you make a full scene of it? I don't know why, but the man in the middle looks familiar. lol

They really look like real life people! But I am sorry to say that the guy at the bottom is comrade Lenin...

:-) Karl Ronas replies: "Really? I was trying to go for the strong leader type though I did not have Lenin in mind when I was drawing him. Caporal Vsevolod is the squad leader."

comrad Lenin is bold you know and his face also looks a bit diffrent

:-) Karl Ronas replies: "So he does. I guess he changed a bit after joining the 69th Infantry."

I really like this - It's very good.....
....but....
The man in the middle reminds me of my old history/RE teacher Mr Calver. Lol
Still - Very good work!

:-) Karl Ronas replies: "I take it that Mr Calver wasn't very nice. Haha. Thanks for stopping by, mum."

I don't know why you didn't earn a "mod's choice" for this....It's fantastic!!!!!!!!!The "mods" don't know true talent when they see it apparently!I've looked over your other work and think it's just as great as well.
