Description
I've had this image in my mind for more than ten years now, ever since I first read "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." I always had a vivid image in my mind of Huck's father, after he appears in Huck's room and tries to extort money out of him. It hasn't been until the last year that I felt skilled enough to attempt it, and it hasn't been until the last week that I've had the time to start working on it. (Spent all summer on a large commission. Unfortunately, I am not permitted to share until the final product is unveiled.)Many thanks to this fellow [link] for the use of his stock photo, and many apologies for the incredibly unflattering use of his likeness. You can thank Dick Cheney for that sneering expression.
That's right. Dick Cheney.

Beautiful work on that face! You could push the folds and lighting on the clothes a bit, but overall this is really well done. Great stuff, good luck this year!

A very striking image
I'm not familiar with the episode you're illustrating, but I can see how much care you've taken, and your attention to detail is amazing, all the way down to his toes.
The crucifix on the wall is a nice touch.
