Heron Commander Concept Art

This art was made for my Character Concept Art class in college. The prompt was "Fantasy Characters". I imagine this character as very condescending. He has a tendency to look down on people, but tries to not let that effect his judgement. To him, every life has equal value whether and king's or a peasant's. He only got his position because of his social status, but takes his job seriously despite having very little actual experience leading people.
