Okay, this is better, though I can already tell that this one will be a real doozey. I'm going to be using perspective, one of my arch nemesis, in the background. And I need to figure out what the palace hall he's in looks like. Oh boy.
But hey, it's actually started now! The model I'm working from in my reference book is female, but hopefully that didn't carry over into Duke's build too badly? His shoulder/neck area is frustrating already, but that's always been a weak area for me.

The trouble I find, switching from female to male models, is that men have wider shoulders and thicker necks than women.

She has so much good stock, you can usually find something similar to what you're drawing. She even has a swords and weapons gallery. :-)
