The first thing that this picture reminds me: Indiana Jones- probably because of the brown color scheme and leather jacket. Sort of off-focus, but the thing that I like very much is actually the background. It would have been so easy just to use a soft-edge brush to create the gradient, but using rougher/more manual method (as it is here) gives a sense of layers in the background and adds lots of depth.

I love the Indiana look to it. You really show a good sense of shape and texture. I also am really enjoying that leather vest... I wish I had one....

thanks. It's been so long since the time I said that I would draw this out to go along with your Murtagh drawing...but I got it done.

I am very happy for the way it turned out.
