Xir'ag -realistic- part2

as I've told before... I loooove drawing/painting portraits ^^
once again, I had the urge to paint Xir'ag.
This was actually for a "hair art contest" for Elftown, but I got carried away with his face and forgot the hair, teehee ^^

I am very happy about the way this turned out... he looks so... alive.
... I'm a little jealous of Sajore...

I actually like the close-up to his face a lot more than this whole portrait... and that can be seen here: [link]
