I was going to name this work as (Before the Battle) because my first inspiration made me draw the face stressed out, but i wanted to use the source image in more than just texturing, so i decided to make that evil character which imposed upon me changing the name, there were few options those related to wars and can match my entry, so i picked this one because this evil character represents war makers.

I spent hours and hours painting this to get the original concept i was thinking about, some flaws must be made during the painting process, therefore feed back is appreciated.

Many thanks to silegl69 from sxc.hu for his permission on the statue photo.

Edit: Further modifications have been done.

I wanted to make something that is a little differant. Hope you guys like it.
