I just love how you painted his eyes. When I zoom in I see so many different colors blended together in the iris. It makes his gaze even more realistic.steve kearney 29 Apr 2013

This is very well done John from your selection of color palet to your brush strokes. One can almost feel that this was done in the presence of fire or candle light. The eyes are fantastic and your palet carries right into them.Tim Linville 28 Apr 2013
