I need a portrait done, but not a completely accurate portrait.  It will be of me, but it will be of me in an absurdly epic situation, i.e. slaying a giant whale with a harpoon/tridant like in Moby Dick, fighting a Troy-like battle in full armor, or sitting atop a neighing horse with a saber drawn reminiscent of Napolean, cutting through the jungle brush with a machete followed by tribals like Allan Quartermain, or just standing regally in uniform.  We can discuss which if any of these you're more comfortable doing, or something different entirely.  What's important is that you can get my face in detail, at least to the point that it's undeniably me given the nature of the situation I'd be in in the portrait.  Guess it's really just more of a painting than a portrait.  I'd email you several pictures of me and an idea of what I want, etc.
