Description
This is my next ASoIaF deviation - Ser Jorah Mormont, a knight exiled from his homeland because, in a desperate need of money, he sold a few poachers to a slaver.Ser Mormont is character of George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire'.
Black pen, colored in PSP 9, added parchment background and heraldy.
With this deviation I want mostly to try out the new background parchment, which I intend to use for my next ASoIaF pictures (maybe I'll re-do the already done ones as well). So, I need opinions - what do y'all think bout it, does it fits better with the PC coloring, or should I go back to the old background? I myself like how it turned out, but any opinions about it will be helpful.

Simple and rough, but that is precisely what Jorah Mormont is, so it's not bad at all.
Thank you for sharing.

I wonder if this was truly the bear that Tormund referred to...

It's excellent, and it does work better than the parchment wit hthe computer coloring, and I know I'm being a bit... blah, but I honestly like the older ones better, with the hand-done (or non computer whatever) coloring and the crappy parchment look. Also Jorah should look a bit older. I know he was at least beginning to have male-pattern baldness, maybe it was total, I don't remember. But this is very good from what I can remember, I just perfer the old stuff.

Well, I respect and appreciate your opinion and thank you about it. However, I seriously doubt that I will go back to hand-coloring. I mean, for me, to start doing my stuff with PC-coloring, was like a big step forward, you know, a progress. So, as much I esteem your honest opinion, it ain't gonna happen.
As for Jorah, he's in his 40s and is starting to lose bits of his hair, he's not completely bald. So, I think I did it fine...
Man, that was kinda boasting... Oh, well...

I think the old background made the PC-colored ones pop out more, whereas with this it blends in more. So I guess it depends what effect you want, 'cause with the new one I guess it seems more cohesive and unified but the old one on the flipside had that visual contrast.
I think I would go with the new background but it's your choice.
Great job as always, hope you'll keep churning out these pieces for more characters.

Thank you.
I appreciate your opinion, and honestly, I intend to go with this background from now on, but just wanted to know if I'm on the right track. You know, by somebody else's judgement, a unprejudiced opinion etc.
