Description
"Since it is difficult to join them together, it is safer to be feared than to be loved when one of the two must be lacking. "-niccolo machiavelli
Niccolo Machiavelli was born on May 3, 1469, in Florence, Italy. He eventually became a man who lived his life for politics and patriotism. Right now, however, he is associated with corrupt, totalitarian government. The reason for this is a small pamphlet he wrote called The Prince to gain influence with the ruling Medici family in Florence. The political genius of Niccolo Machiavelli was overshadowed by the reputation that was unfairly given to him because of a misunderstanding of his views on politics.

machavelli is a man i admire and adore, for a list of reasons.
i loved his looks in ac:b, and with this speed painting i took it from there, adding just a few minor changes to the design.
..i wish niccolo had a better taste in fashion. that's up with those fucking frills! x)

But the frills are the best part!
I love Mach's design in ACB. I JUST DO. And he deserves more art and this is beautiful. Looks like another one of those late night ponderings... very warm.
He looks like he's up to something.
