The photo was too good to pass, I had to make a char out of it. What I did: first I lightened it then I gave the face and coat a layer of paint and added texture to the coat. I then painted in new hair and added the ponytail while I was at it, also added a little paint and highlights to the beard. Finished off with the dodge/burn tools and added a hint of the paint-dub effect. He could make a good NPC, or a barbarian I think. Maybe a retired one? He looks kindof weary of life doesn't he? To me he looks like a viking so I gave him a good viking name; Magnus Blod�ks (Bloodaxe) ;)

Thanks so much, -all of you. But the sorce pic was already so good that I couldn't do that much wrong. The hair was the toughest job, -it's always the toughest job :p
Lol @ eb52t. Yes, his coat was kindof Santa'ish as it was originally red :p That's why I felt a need to paint it brown and add leather texture :D"Light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak"

Wow, this is excellent work. This looks like Rembrand painted it. :D Great subtle light and colours here Wycked. I am always jealous of your superb style.

At first I thought the base photo was of some Santa Claus.Timmy C.

I gladly agree with Olivia. This is another portrait with character and not the every day adventurer. I think he would do very good as a barbarian (working against the cliche that barbarians have to be brutish heroes with no pause or brain).
