What is your basis for the background?

I have not thought about, but that can be cave.

...and the picture seems to show a torso, arms and legs. Intentional?

The one from 05/06 looks like an optical illusion. One way up it's a close-up view of a skull with a headband, other way up the headband turns into a belt and the picture seems to show a torso, arms and legs. Intentional?

Leaving part of the quote out like that made Simons Mith sound like an idiot who doesn't know what a portrait is. Obviously this is not the case. Maybe you didn't understand what he was talking about:

Also, out of curiosity, what's your purpose in posting here? What do you want? Do you want to learn how to draw mainline quality? Do you just want to learn to draw well?

I would like to contribute open source wesnorth** game. **(Wesnoth)
and what you want?

At your current level of ability, it seems unlikely that you will be able to contribute to the mainline of WesNOTH (not Wesnorth...). However, there are numerous user-made content creators who would be very happy to have an artist with your skills on board. I suggest that you liaise with one of them.

Ahh... there's the confusion. Here's a breakdown of what he said.

1. The one from 05/06 looks like an optical illusion.
2. One way up it's a close-up view of a skull with a headband
3. other way up the headband turns into a belt and the picture seems to show a torso, arms and legs

In other words, "the picture seems to show a torso, arms and legs" is talking about the portrait when it's upside down, not about the portrait in general.
