Diamond Contrast

Practice! Trying out a more realistic style courtesy of [link] and all its other parts. I will say it's nice getting Diamond to actually look kind-of old! What do you think? How old would you guess he is from this pic, and how much of his appearance from other drawings I've done of him has been lost - aka is he still recognizable? (Discounting the scar, of course. )

The lighting was a bit less dramatic while I was working: here's the image without the level adjustment: [link]. This was a pencil rough which I then painted over in Photoshop.... 50 min or so I'd say. Hard to tell, I get side-tracked by other things and my subtraction of that time is probably off. Doesn't really matter other than 'something that went quickly for once oh my'.
