This is a personal artwork I've created in 2006. Back then it was published on several magazines and book covers as well as cg related online galleries. My intention for this piece was to create a monk, but not the classic stereotype of monk you might have in mind. Instead I wanted him to have a sort of hidden story to his character, which you can imagine by his looks. He could be an agent on a mission or somebody who's trying to hide. Maybe he's just a monk. It's up to your imagination.
