"A Viking Berserker" - A Portrait Portrayal Commission

It always pleases me to do these portraits every now and then, where my clients don't simply request for a "copy" of their faces, but a metamorphosis into a character based on their likeness.

I have done transformations from jet fighter pilots, to battle warrior princesses, to more gothic-inspired religious figures, and so on and so forth.

It's a one-of-a-kind experience, capturing someone's visage and studying it in order to attach it in the best way possible to a new form, and make it as though they fit altogether perfectly.

But something else pleases me further, it makes me smile greatly to be greeted with satisfaction from everyone I have had the fantastic opportunity to work with. That feeling is just, well, it brings me joy. Great joy.
