This is Shane's wriiten "concept" prior to sculpting the piece. It sold me and his rendition was bang on. JP is also dead center in his painting of it. I am completely impressed with both of these guys.
"Sliding his helmet up, he takes in the destruction around him. Jerusalem has fallen. The prize of Christendom seems tarnished--certainly not the vision preached by Pope Urban II. In the two years that have passed since he left home, this knight has witnessed the loss of nearly all his possessions. The lives of his horses faded away in stages, leaving him a foot soldier. The exorbitant pricing of opportunistic merchants, many of them Christians, drained his life savings. The Saracens' refusal to engage in close combat--preferring harassment tactics instead--have caused him to rethink the value of his mail armor. Its best self-preservation use was as a sellable commodity. His meager retinue of two men has left him for the brighter prospects offered by a wealthy knight. Much of the army that set out on the adventure has withered away. Disease has claimed the most, it intensifies in the filth associated with siege work.
His experiences have been far from the idealized recruitment sermons of his village priest. Many a broken knight returned home in a much-lowered economic and social standing. From pious fervor to criminal penitence, the reasons for going on the First Crusade were many. This man's broken nose is the vestige of a violent past. A chance at riches or redemption was his motivation. By this point, he'd settle for just being in France."

Pretty nice work with lots of character. Ilike itso much!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to show you what will be the new boxart for this nice bust produced by UEM and painted by this very talented, promising, and inspired young French guy, also known as the fastes brush of the earth, responding to the name of Jean Paul Dana. 
(shame there is no icon for the applause...).
Seriously, I think your improvements are clearly visible with each new piece you do, good job dude.
