Deus Vult! Militi Christi Bust by Glitterwolf

[Glitterwolf]

This is a bust from El Greco: Deus Vult / Militi Christi.

 

I painted him as a Knight Hospitaller.

Learned a lot on the way.

There are a few white specks in the pics, I was taking them outside and this is actually not there.

Also there is more depth than the pics show, some shadows are washed out by the camera.

This one is going to be shipped off as a present to a certain person.

It will be a surprise and I wonder how it will be received.

 

Here he is.

Many Thanks!

I'm learning more with each one!

Very Nice! The blending on his hair and beard especially. In the 4th pic down, he somewhat resembles Keenu Reeves. 

I imagine that the Countess is happy to hear he's being shipped off, his presence being likely to make her nervous.

Thank you!

 

In fact the devout Knight noticed the Countess from a distance and immediately suggested to go on a journey.

I wonder why...

I think he defeated infidels just by looking them in the eye.
