Agreed with @innocent third for the win : D
Although the first could be interesting too to mix with.
Thank you so much for the responses @innocent, @mr_dessin, @edenriquebq and @PeterH Seems the consensus is 3, as I spoke to some friends and they also like 3
@PeterH I will be putting the filigree and shiny cords in, although I was debating on making the design on the chest be more of an engraving in leather, so we shall see how that goes with the final rendering. Need to design the pattern fully now that I have some colour options
24 days later
So I'm finally back from my holiday, very pleased to find that there was an extension to the competition as I was a bit stuck with technology as I was very far away from it...as well as internet.
Anyway, here is an update on the final illustration The pose changed completely thanks to the help of some talented and knowledgeable people
Feedback would be greatly appreciated and I will continue to post progress throughout the week!
Thank you so much @rgdraw your support throughout this competition has been so awesome
