This thing's finally done! I've mostly been doing quick artistic pieces lately and wanted to push myself with something intensive and challenging again. So here's a Rennaissance style wall painting of my character Peregrine that exists in a closet under a cloth on his family's estate somewhere of him after graduating from a naval education program ready to join the military when he was younger. Influenced by Dutch Masters and those classic noble and Revolutionary War era portraits. Much less colorful than my normal style, and I stayed fairly precise instead of wild. Lots of rendering. Rare that I paint indoor scenes atmospherically. There's a few things I see room for improvement on- the hand doesn't look like it's really resting on the globe properly, the attachment of his goatee to his chin and lower lip, the anatomy of his hand on the fancy schmancy cane...but overall I'm very pleased with the composition and colors. Probably open for comissions in this style if anyone wants, DM me for details if you're interested.

Alt: A somewhat short and stocky blond man with a goatee, one hand on a cane, the other on a globe, staring intesely to the right into the distance in a moodily lit brown room. In the background are a small flame chandalier, a passage to a hallways with a flower bouquet on a table in a blue vase by a painting, and a large bookcase with many tomes, an animal skull, a glass, a ship in a bottle, and a model ship with orange fan sails. The table with the globe is covered in a white draping cloth and also carries a pot of ink, a velu or parchment weighted down by a stone, a sextant, a pocket telescope, a stamp for wax seals, and a compass. The nobleman is dressed in fine brown clothes with white gray ruffles and a blue sash. He wears a gold medallion on a red ribbon around his neck, and his brows are furrowed.
