Since I was a kid I've always loved good, Swashbuckling, Romantic Adventures...particularly those starring Errol Flyn. Here the hero has pinned his adversary to the tavern wall.

As with other works, this is a sketch still in progress...

Wonderful! I would love to see this finished and CC! It reminds me of one of the Three Musketeers. lol, "You wanna mess with this?" Heh heh

Very nice piece. I love their expressions, the winner seems rather amused at his adversary's annoyance. I like the boots and the rest of their attire, but I've noticed a tendency for your figures to have very narrow knees...

:-) Mike 'LoboLoco' Garcia replies: "hmmm...yeah, I wonder why that is? -I'll have to work on that."

I love the care you've taken in the details.

:-) Mike 'LoboLoco' Garcia replies: "Thanks, I don't usually take very long on any one piece, but I wanted to with this one...though it seems I got bored half-way through."

Wow! Great pic! I love it! (Reminds me of Will Turner from POTC.)

Very nice. I think it actually works quite well as it is. Maybe just a little darker on the adversary.

I think the Adventures of Robin Hood (1939) is Errol's best film. Either that or The Master of Ballentray.

Oh yeah, I love the casual confidence he shows at having bested his opponant (Who looks a bit like Bazil Rathbone).

Did you ever see " The Court Jester " staring Danny Kaye?
It's an old flic but it's absolutely hilarious and he too did a scene of swordfighting as well.
Anyway, this is a very good picture.
Keep up the good work.

:-) Mike 'LoboLoco' Garcia replies: "Oh, yes, "The Court Jester" is one of my all-time favorite films.Thanks for the comment."
