great work John and great color choice.
My only comment would be that I find him a little pale into the face.

Pose, face with nose on air gives this guy a real attitude you've captured mate.

Colouring also sets him apart as a wealthy, dandy mercenary

Good on ya mate!

Look forward to seeing him based up & done

Thanks Mike, you got it in one mate, just what I was trying to achieve a wealthy dandy mercenary showing off his wealth and position.

Nice one, John. You never disappoint

Stunning John, the colours are superb. The blue/ purple colour of the tunic and trousers contrast nicely with the port wine colour of the sash.

I really like the colors you have chosen, especially the purple that is very difficult to paint, for me at least.

 

[Chris Mortimer]

Wow! Stunning work mate. I love the way you manage to get such rich colors and vivid highlights. Cant wait to see him finished. Take care mate
