Realistic portrait of a Major General in Nigeria Army

Greetings to everyone,
Wishing you all a prosperous new year
As the year begins, I've decided to remain consistent with sharing my arts here.
Today, i want to share with you all my last art in 2023. It is portrait of a Major General in Nigeria army. We all know that it's a position that many every soldiers dream of reaching but unfortunately, many don't till their retirement.
This position is full of respects in country's army. One have to undergo lot of training but physical and educational. In my country, i think that it's not a must for people that have not gone to war as many of them have never due to some personal researched facts i gathered but i think that the American soldiers do serve in battlefield before the reach it.
