I like it. Wasn't expecting the pope idea, but if you can pull it off then i'm sure it could look geat.

In terms of the WIP, maybe get the guy looking like, either completely emotionless, straight face, or more angry (So head tilted forward slightly, eyes angling in etc)


Overall loving the amount of people jumping on this, looking forward to seeing all your wips, and I will wait till everyone has submitted, so don't worry about that.

As long as you keep that in mind, and sharpen it all up so it looks more crisp, then yeah feel free to! Keep in mind the reference images in the OP for further style though
