“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost."
---J.R.R. Tolkien---

A companion piece to my self-portrait of sorts, this is Decanian Atresius, an Imperial writer and journalist, Branca's husband and, obvoiusly, my own husband's alter-ego, both in his novel and in all our Elder Scrolls-related endeavours.
Just as in the case of "my" portrait, I wasn't focusing on depicting my husband's exact likeness, rather a stylized version, inspired by the aesthetics of both the Elder Scrolls world and historical periods I drew inspiration from for this project. Even so, I find he is still pretty recognizable, the portrait nearly equal to my husband's own countenance.
