A Renaissance inspired vanity portrait of the not-so-good Commander. You can read a little more about over at my site.

He was, if nothing else, a lot of fun to dream up and make.

He leans a little too far to the left and I don't mean politically. :D

I've had the parts for a CC Bust for a few years now. I really need to sit down and complete it.

He was actually going to originally just be a bust, and I decided "Why stop there?"

This angle really exaggerates his pose, but yes, he's leaning pretty far back. I wanted it to be a pretty over the top, dynamic stance, but it does look a little unnatural. :)

Lol, first I thought "fig leaf," then "maybe a cobra symbol," then realized it HAD to be a giant snake coiling up his leg. I mean, it's really not even like I had a choice.

Hilariously cool. The cobra up the leg is priceless.

*THIS* is why we need a :slowclap: emote.

When there is a custom that is just so awesome it defies descriptive words and :bow: doesn't cover it...
