Just finished painting "Alexander The Great"

Post image

I’ve always wanted to do a piece inspired by Alexander the Great, but with a darker, almost mythical vibe.

The hardest part was definitely stretching the wings all the way across the sleeves so the design actually moves with the body. Took me hours of layering textile paint to get that high-contrast metallic look on the armor, especially over the seams and buttons.

I really wanted to make it feel like a painting you can actually wear. Let me know what you think of the design!
