I have painted Harald Hårfagre a couple of years ago for the first time. It was a nice painting to be one of my first in digital technique. A year and a half has passed, and I started to think about a new version for this character/history figure.
Now, half a year later (yeah, been chewing this idea for 6 months!) the new version is done! The palette is more natural and the composition is more emphatic. I also think I could give him a better expression.
Find out about Harald Hårfagre (Fair hair) on Wikipedia:

You can also fins this illustration on the September (2012) issue of the German Metal magazine “Legacy”. It is the background of an advertisement with 5 Norwegian bands: Tomorrow’s Outlook, Antares Predator, Subliritum, Cyclophonia and Harm.

I would love to express my opinion about this but i can't seem to find the correct words to do so. And i'm someone who rather say nothing then you give a few words... Finding this image on the september issue of magazine "Legacy" (didn't know it before but now i do) says it all, don't you think? My respect voor what you share with us. I provide lots of stock images on Deviantart , so if you can use him --> http://m10tje.deviantart.com/gallery/40141132 don't hesitate to do so but please send me the link to view the result. ;-)
