I'm not going to be pedantic about historical accuracy with regards the helmet having horns :hehe

We perpetuate the myth ourselves in our souvenir shops so we can't complain really. You have done an awesome job there. I really like the knotwork and the metallic effect.

Erisian - thanks; when I was in Scandinavia, horns were prominent in the souvenir shops :hehe

Keeping the Viking theme going ...

Issabella - thank you; now to finish off 2020 posting with a couple more sketch portraits, one of a well known Canadian and the other an unknown African lady.

Now to welcome 2021 (already here!!), a couple more sketch portraits, one simple and one embellished.

I like all the work you are producing these days but that Last one knocked me sideways. AnMal and I agree it is beautiful! :hi5

Erisian and AnMal - thank you both very much and happy new year to you. I enjoy doing these 'sketch portraits' as they are relatively quick to create and obviously no where near as intensive and time consuming as real portrait attempts.

Here is another 'embellished' sketch portrait of a modern Thai princess with Aussie bling extras.

OMG, you always surprise me with new artistic outcomes. The sketches are really good, too. Congrats! :clap

Very nice OMG I like the embellished one the most :kpix
