Exceptional work! It has that rich old masters feel to it: reminded me of drawings by Peter Paul Rubens. You captured not only the image, but the mood itself.

Artist Reply: thank you! That's high praise. Erik was a rock of a man, a brutal and skillful combatant with a charming demeanor and a philosopher's soul. There was a lot to capture.
