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?

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

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.
