Eagle Soldier, Final Rendering

My previous post included some process work for my new portrait painting, which I'm conceptualizing as an "Eagle Soldier" - someone who serves the Emperor's elite Eagle Guard.  These soldiers follow the Emperor's orders without question.

This portrait depicts the conflict that comes with being forced to follow orders.  My subject is, hopefully, imparting a sense of sadness and uncertainty over having been forced to burn a local village.  I painted the entire work in Adobe Photoshop CS5 and used some photo textures to make some certain areas pop.
