Thanks, everyone, really appreciate the comments. ^^ (And on all my other works, too.) I'm not sure there's a particular knack for realism. This is the advantage of working from a photo reference. ^_~ Actually, using a reference for a portrait like this can be both a blessing and a curse. You can always see what it's supposed to look like, but at the same time, if you're having trouble getting the likeness right, well, it can be a pain.

My mom got really into Merlin for a while ^^.
Looks just like him, wonderful job.
