Hi Christos
I was lucky enough to actually hold and eyeball Raul's original at Euro which went on to win BOS and i can honestly say that your version is as good .A stunning piece of painting!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record... I too love the tartan! Personally I think the shirt though is the strongest element. I love the shading and highlighting and the subtle blood stains. This really is extremely impressive work. Very inspiring.
 
Seeing this one up close i got to say the precision on the tartan is breathtaking. Like the weathering u added. Excellent painting my friend.
 
Hi Christos,

As others have said, the tartan is awesome. Personally, I find the skintone on the face too dark, particularly for a fair skinned Scotsman. I appreciate its a painting effect to emphasise the contrasts, but it doesn't look very natural to me and distracts from what is otherwise a beautifully painted figure.
 
Thank you all for your kind comments guys, much appreciated and very encouraging,
Brian that Euro back then was my first and I was very lucky to see Latorre's masterpiece live, your comment means a lot for me.
