I'm Hungarian, so this character is really funny for me

And does he look like a real Hungarian to you?

The saber, the boots, the motifs on his dress (the yellow ones, sorry, I don't know their name), the hat and the mustache looks good. The checked cloak and the skirt-looking dress look more Scottish to me. And his skin tone and the earring make him a gipsy. But I'm a Hungarian, I see ourselves in a different way - maybe we are (or we were) look like this guy
Benito, it's not a critiqu or something. Please don't misunderstand me. This piece looks really great! I just meant it's funny to see how other people see us Hungarians

I agree the cloak and skirt may look celtic or Scottish. I thought of drawing another pattern for the cloak but wanted to finish the piece soon.
However I'm really happy I nailed so many things. I was inspired by the awesome sculptures at the impressive Heroes' Square in Budapest. That is something you can be really proud of!

I travelled to Budapest with my wife some years back. We were inside a bus in a guided tour coming form Prague and Vienna. And the first thing we see when se get off the bus in Budapest is that amazing Heroe's square. I just couldn't believe it! I didn't know such a place existed and then there we were, enjoying those magnificient sculptures!
