Well ...its very good of you to paint him for your friend...not a bad job at all.
I think you have given him a good skin colour and the hair looks good. Nice choice of colours on his tunic and shirt....but there are a few drawbacks..I dont think the blue cloak really suits him (too garish), and the gold work on the weapon pommels is not working well. He is a bit shiny ...but...a bit of work on the cloak, blades and base would definately improve him ...and the score.
OVERALL ----- Not Bad At All! BRAVO!
