THE EMPEROR

Amazing!

Great picture!

But I compare an Emperor (Kaiser) more with a noble and wise man leading his fatherland
to the best. There were bad and good ones in history.

You captured the 'self-enlightened despot' quite nicely!

one word, awesome!

this is amazing. he looks so great <3 love it.

kinda reminds me of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV

I regret that I could not give praise while you were alive. May you find next what would most benefit your soul, whatever that may be. The more I think on death the less I am sure what it means, but I hope I will come to find it is not to be feared. Whether you wanted rest or a new life, I hope it is yours. From what I can tell, you were an inspiration to many and a terrible loss at such a young age.

Wow.... he sure 'feels' like an arrogant emperor.

The pencils are wonderfully neat. Are those mechanical pencils? I love the texture-so hard and scratchy, but was that just an effect of the scan?

Nice. Reminds me of a character John Byrne might have drawn. I really like the dog.

I don't think you need a reason for awesome stuff like this.

You're truly impressive!!! The posing, the doberman, the costume reference and your suggested background are awesome!!
Bravo!!!

I like the flow of your lines.. your style reminds me of Chris Sprouse as well

Very cool...

awesome good as always...

Long live the emperor..!!

this is just perfect..!!

Very nice! Makes me think of the Kaiser.

Your imaginations is out of this world Mike...

Extremelly cool

Killer piece. The pose is on point, you definitely nailed the feel of arrogance from him. The dog has that I'll bite your leg off feel of protection. Great work.

"I'm the very model of a modern major general..." That's all I have in my head after seeing this. Nice job on the sketch.

You pro-guys take it so easy, 'it's just a sketch'...
Man, it's full blown art for us normal guys.

Freakin' perfect as always brother! Great work!

Perfect scene! The dog looks great, too!
