something about his look I don't trust, like he's scheming something diabolical.
awesome work...again!

You are so funny, I bet you enjoy naming these paintings as much as creating them

And the awesome continues to happen. I'd imagine he'd be some kind of nobleman, like a baron or something. A baron who rules his own land with absolute discipline.

thanks!

acrylic's pretty forgiving- you can paint right over any portion you need to and it dries quickly. I'd suggest using an extender gel/medium to thin it and mix it down...you can keep it moist on your palate by using a wet newspaper with a wet magazine page on top ( mine is on top of a plastic storage container, I just put the box over it to keep it moist when not in use).

so many thanks for your reply.

i had to settle with oils for the time being due to a shortage in the market and my own budget at the moment.
but i saved your advice and will be following it in due time. thanks.

but when he is hungry he will devour you starting with your guts till you bleed out. he is very proper about it though.
