Description This is a commission for *project-epic of his character. It was fun to do but those trees were surprisingly challenging! I learned a lot when painting this though, about trees mostly. I have a lot more to learn.. :I

If you would like, you can see the work-in-progress shots on my Tumblr!

Have a lovely day!
-Hannah

Well hey, challenges make us grow as artists, and I think you did a great job on the trees! I love the gradients you've used on them, especially the one that fades into that light teal - it really draws the eye!

I love the shading you've done on him, too. I'm scared to try shading a character from trees or leaves, it seems really hard!

Anyway, this is really beautiful, I love his expression, and the fit of his clothing. ANd that neat lion belt!!

:3 thank you so much! I find trees especially challenging because there are so many leaves and things, I should stop complaining about it and paint more trees!

For some reason, when I saw the title/the thumbnail of this, I thought of Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones.

Also, the trees turned out wonderfully!

Thank you for this piece of joy!

I love his expression! It reads, "Come with me."
Plus he's sexy... I want him.
