Photo composition for the second Prince Valiant Illustration.

New thumbnail with head studies for Prince Valiant. I'm considering making him older (the character himself has been in the Sunday strips for nearly 75 years).

This is the original picture I took for reference. Since my dining room looks more or less like it is in a medieval castle, I'll illustrate it in such a way in order to add interest to the scene.

Spent about five days messing with this illustration in oils, but since I tried to simplify it, all I did is ruin the painting to the point that I need to do a new one, this time with more detail on it.
