Awesome!!! I had too give a 6 for this one. I love knights and to have a true Marine knight for justice is awesome. Now the artwork on this knight is amazing. I love the Crest, well designed. To top it off the USMC on the shield is a nice and awesome touch.

You are far too kind to me my new friend. My husband is a 26 year Marine Veteran and I did this piece for him, and other Marines as well. Since you have looked through my portfolio then you no doubt also noticed my mixed media work titled " Honorable men of prayer' that has little painting other than the painting I did of Jesus, I just used a cut a paste and added that. That was another piece I did for my husband. Of the two, he is like you. He likes knights and he really liked this piece. I am now playing with a morphing program and putting a short video together of him and his military career and morphing the different photo's with my paintings to come up with a video titled, He is always A Marine. It's taking a bit longer than what I thought. I'd love to be able to do the 3D programs that you work with. They would make some really awesome videos.
Thank you again for being so kind and taking the time to review my work.

WAY cool, a marine super hero..very different, and very effective. I am sure that this would make a great poster for the marines, and give them both a smile and a lift..also might make a most unusual tasttoo, if the right ink artist could be found. Donkeyoatey

thank you for the compliment. I have a niece that has been on the cover of a tattoo magazine, she has them all over, personally I think it's a shame because she is such a beautiful girl but she loves her 'art' as she calls it. I guess I ought to send this to her, she'd have it put on her somewhere, if she has any room left LOL.
thanks again

Comment from LorrainePurviance
imaginative way to portray the idea of the marines, the symbolism works and the color choices seem to work, though I might prefer a little more contrast in the knight to highlight the logos

thank you Lorraine for the very kind review.. I added a bit more contrast at first but it seemed to throw the piece off, thanks for the input, always welcomed and appreciated

This is really cool...and I bet your hubby loved it. Love the strength of the piece..only wish our Marines were really this impenetrable.

Love the colors and the textures in it...and the vibrancy.

thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece.

thank you click for the nice review, Have to agree with you, if all of our military were this impenetrable, they'd all be home safe

Wow. Super Fi! :) How did you come up with this idea? Really like the simple color scheme and, of course, marine as superhero/knight-in-shining-armor. Everything is well-rendered and clear. Nice! :)
