He looks blind. I thought Homer was merely colour blind? I could be wrong about that. I think the evidence comes from his incongruous descriptions of things, like the "wine dark sea".

I keep falling in love with your work! It never ceases to amaze me! Great job! Once again, you brought life into Homer and this is a great visual to any reader. I think I will have to "watch" you now. Lol. Keep up the good work!

Incredible work as usual. Reference wise it reminds me a little of Robert Powell's portrait in the film Jesus of Nazereth - probably the eyes, nose and upward gaze.

It's a really great and very realistic drawing^^ Though there's no proof that Homer looked like this because all his portraits were made long after his death. I, however, still like the idea of having a "face" of the person who probably was the one who told the stories of Troy and Odysseus.

Haha, you're right. I have no proof that the man looked like that and that was the whole idea of doing this one.

And it was a good idea 
I'm sorry I had to say that. It's just something I've learned from my teachers. I study classical and ancient studies and they can't get tired of telling us that noone knows if Homer existed for real and what he looks like.
They also can't say that about other "historical" persons. Anyway, I still like it to have a face to them and not just a name.

No one knows what Jesus looked like either, but that doesn't stop people from doing paintings of him. I've always liked how artists in this country make him look like a white-boy surfer. Based on where and when he lived, he was probably a short swarthy man with black hair and a big nose, but you never see him portrayed that way. LOL!

... In fact, Bar Refaeli fits the description perfectly!

Wow!! It's really great to see someone paint such a famous, and yet commonly non-credited, person. It's breathtaking, the work that you do

You're right. Homer is thought be a blind poet and it was both tough and interesting to making him look convincingly blind and yet in possession of the deeper 'sight'.
Thanks for the comment!
