Great digital piece. I like the shadows on the face and how you were able to give texture to the background with some subtle strokes of varying tone.

The figure is interesting. We see in his face that he is not only a hunter, but a hunter of potentially deadly game. He is also an old hunter. Time has left its mark on his visage. His eyes also suggest he is growing weary of the hunt altogether.However, this could be misleading. The face we are presented with looks like it might be a facade, a mask. There appears to be another face underneath.

Consequently, the expressions we see could themselves be a deception. I also find the resemblance of the face to that of a goat like creature to be ironic given the figure is meant to be a hunter. However, maybe this explains the facade. Perhaps what we see here is the hunter disguised as prey?
