This is possibly one of your best as far as the facial expression goes. I could stare into his eyes for hours!! Great depiction of the sundance scars, and the fur on the bear!! :+favlove: --AG

That's a great story!!! Three bears at once? Wow, if I had taken on three bears at once, I would wear that skin with pride too... even though right now, the thought of it totally repulses me.

Great colorization, and you're proportions are perfect!
