The Warrior

To childhood, the dreams of youth and the tenacity and boldness to make them come true!

The inspiration behind this one is a photo from bailey--elizabeth . She has lovely creations and when i stumbled upon this one I couldn't resist the urge to draw it. If you happen to come across her picture, please don't compare our works. Even back then I didn't feel like exactly copying a reference, it was just a feeling I got from it and it's my own interpretation of the photo. There is a kind of reflection and nostalgia in his gaze in the original and I hope I succeeded in conveying that sentiment. 

Fun fact:  This piece is about 4 years old. I started to draw it in 2011 (I don't exactly recall when) and I had finished more than half of it, before I left it for years until The Muses paid me a visit this last December and I decided it was time to finish it. And I'm very happy I did! 
 
Anyhow thank you for looking, criticism is encouraged.
