Waaaah! This is gorgeous! :D Apart from the beautiful motive.. you're a really good painter. Are you doing this for a living? Because the vast majority of modern portraits look kind of lifeless and while this one is positively Frans Hals-ish. ^_^

That is REALLY, REALLY good!

You got how soft his hair looked....

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. :-) I don't paint for a living, just for fun. I'm not disciplined enough to be a fine artist--it's a tough way to make a living.

You can see more of my paintings on my LJ if you're interested but if you want to see slash stuff you'll need to friend me and I'll friend you back.

Thanks for looking! I do plan to do one of Ahmed next. :-)

This is fabulous! It's wonderfully modern while still retaining historical appeal, and the contrast is just lovely. Color me very impressed. ;)
