Painted this version of Balian de Ibelin from one of my fave movies Kingdom of Heaven for Darrell Hindley as part of the Steve Dean Forum Figure exchange. Im happy with it but I need to look at improving on painting hair and beards though.
Balian of Ibelin: [to the people of Jerusalem] It has fallen
to us, to defend Jerusalem, and we have made our preparations as well as they
can be made. None of us took this city from Muslims. No Muslim of the great
army now coming against us was born when this city was lost. We fight over an
offence we did not give, against those who were not alive to be offended. What
is Jerusalem? Your holy places lie over the Jewish temple that the Romans pulled
down. The Muslim places of worship lie over yours. Which is more holy?
The wall? The Mosque? The Sepulchre? Who has claim? No one
has claim.
All have claim!
