painting: "Here Comes the War"

[helenic]

This is a painting I did as a gift for romauld last summer, based on his werewolf character of the same name (C also very kindly modelled for it). I've only just got round to getting it framed. My digital camera doesn't have great focus, so it was struggling to capture all of the detail, the texture and the colours. The lighter areas are somewhat lighter in real life, and the blue/red colour contrast is more pronounced, but these shots give a fair impression of it.
