Thank you! I guess I try and keep the realism, but avoid hyper-realism. The texture (hopefully) creates a less formal style as does the addition of the pencil work. Best to you

Absolutely wonderful! Well done! Ever thought about illustrating for the National Geographic magazine?
:iconraats:
Ha ha! thanks that's very kind.. Actually I did approach Nat Geo many years ago, but life sort of got in the way so I did not really follow thru. I prefer now to just keep this art stuff low key now and only do it as a hobby. Thanks for taking the time.. Peace
:iconraats:
Ha ha ha!! Thanks, high praise indeed!!
:iconentanglement:
The depth and clarity, especially in the eyes, is marvellous. Great work!

I try to give credit where credit is due. The whole "who is lord of the land" bit was from the movie, To Walk With Lions. If you ever get a chance, you should definitely watch it.
