Thanks (or as my dad say; with good tools any fool can do a decent job). Character is from Faber Inc., including the add ons

Beautiful is the alignment.
Beautiful is how detailed the skin appears.
Beautiful is how you angled the character and posed him.
Beautiful is how the eyes with the gentle smile appear.
Beautiful is also the choice of your hair.
And beautiful is how you made the black and white theme look like artwork.
Beautiful is how you chose to align the blur factor in your work.
And sure beautiful is also the character but that was not my focus.

Thanks again for your kind words. All I was offering was the base in case you were interested. And, having said that, without a good base all posing, colouring, postworking or composing is in vain. So, I am happy that you like what I did.

Cheers!
