Here's the Rex portrait I did on request by . It took a very long time and I am very grateful was so patient. It also took a very long time because I haven't really every drawn Rex before in this great of detail, nor do I draw him very often. I actually had to find some pictures of his helmet online just to get all the details right (Cody's helmet is like second nature to me ). And his hair took FOREVER!!! Out of like the 6-7 some odd hours I spent on this (like 4 of that today, tee hee! ) his hair took like 2. I really wanted to make it seem like we see his hair in the show: with a bit of skin showing through because hair is translucent. Not that I don't like a good challenge, but this was actually a really tough picture, and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I also am pleased with the way his skin is shaded as I was trying a whole ton of different techniques and approaches here (use black to shade? use white to shade? use a lighter flesh color on 100% opacity? use a lighter flesh color on 'pressure opacity'?....), and finally think I found the one I like the best!

This scene isn't from any of my books or anything that I've seen on the show. It just kinda popped out of my head when I thought of a portrait of him. Comments, questions, and thoughts are much appreciated as always.
