This is another piece that  acidapluvia was kind enough to do inbetween working on the other, larger bodyshot of Stalbon. It is, without a doubt, the absolute best image of the red that there is, and should be the default close-up reference for his upper body and head. ( torenth's lovely full-body profile pic remains a great side-shot reference, too. :) )

As always, all the praise and comments should be given to AcidaPluvia for her tremendous skill. By all means, give her your admiration and enjoy her art! <3
