Much appreciated Glenn. As always when I paint anything I do a lot of reading on the subject.
The origin of the slashes on the sleeves etc is interesting. I'd always assumed that it was exclusively decorative but originally it was because they had no uniform and simply looted clothing.
Much of this was small and tight so to free their movement they simply slashed the arms.

I've got a suit that's been in my wardrobe for some years.Since then i've put on a tad too much weight.Do you reckon this could work for me ?

I also really like the muted colours that you've used.
The bust is full of character, and your painting has done it full justice.

Cheers,
Andrew

Cheers Joe.
I was pleased the way the jewel worked out, the trick is to put the catchlight on the bottom / underside of the jewel.
Can't remember where I came across this, pretty sure it was either on one of the fantasy blogs or over a pint at a show.
Anyway it works

Excellent rendition. I like the flesh tones and the muted colors of the tunic.
