Artist's Comments

Sometimes I majorly suck at giving my artwork a proper title.
But he seems really to be satisfied with day work. I bet he goes back to his family, sits down on the dinner table and moans:
"Gods what a day at work... I killed almost 50 enemies on my own, but lost my damn horse. What´s on my calendar tomorrow? Ah, battle with the Saxons at 10 am...."
:XD:
anyway, have fun and enjoy!

Parts of the armor on his shoulders / chest and the face referenced from two stock photos (but i made the face waay older) from [link] , as i saw it i loved the armor immediately and had to do something with it. :)

:XD: on the preview, I thought he only had one arm!

Ah, I bet he does as well - the life of a warlord, huh? *sigh*

I love how you paint people that aren't just the typical 'young and beautiful' type.

very nice work!

the angle of the face/helmet looks ever so slightly askew

and the shield with the lion isnt incredibly accurate

but great artwork. the older more chiselled look is very good, and as the previous poster said much better than the typical young and pretty type.

and i love the axe. and the hair looks great

look forward to more! :D

Oh - and he has to ask his boss for a rise! :giggle: Great stuff!

Never knock on Death's door; ring the doorbell and run (he hates that)
:iconimrryr:
All that slaughter and then he has to go home and clean all the blood off everything... I hope his children aren't foolish enough to ask him for a raise in their weekly allowances tonight :)

Anyway, this is another excellent piece. And I agree with the other commentators that it's great to see some older looking characters.
