Thanks. <3 Portraits are hard, I can tell you that. I mostly only do realistic ones when the image really speaks to me...or it's an assignment for class. If anyone's interested, here's the larger image from my dA: httpmooneko.deviantart.com/art/WIP-The-King-337930622
That's a great portrait :) Surprising that you did it yourself. I'm a bit jealous because I can draw anime and landscapes fine, but give me a picture or person to go off of and I fail...
