Awww... he looks so... old! old and tired.
I love it how you used the shadow!

I like the way you portrayed him as just a normal looking guy. I mean, if you were an entity of unimaginable magical power, the last thing you would want to do is float down the street, wearing brightly colored robes, and reciting incantations in some ancient dialect. All that would do is attract the unwanted attentions of evil and potentially more powerful beings that would want nothing more than to blow you off the face of the earth. So, in my opinion, I think your idea is more practical and realistic (even though this IS fantasy). Excellent job!!

I love the detail you put into this picture. I love all the shading and fabric folds too. I can't shade right or draw believable fabric folds to save my life. Great job! Oh, and one more thing, for some reason, he kinda looks like Theoden to me, you know, from Lord of the Rings.

Very nice. I like the fact that he seems so protective and peaceful at the same time. Could you do me a favor and ask him what he is protecting?
