Nathan Appleby in Palette 37

@LaTishaMorganLC (RedsFieryDreams) approached me on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, and asked if I'd consider doing a portrait of one of Colin Morgan's recent characters in a style similar to the Outlander portrait series I've been working on.  It just so happened that I'd started watching "The Living and the Dead" and had my eye on a promo of Nathan Appleby that I wanted to take a stab at rendering.  

I decided against my usual super realistic style; I need to stretch myself a little more. To push the boat out even further I opted to limit my palette to 6 colors.  So, off I went to find a copy of the Tumblr Palette challenge, armed with my reference and my digital drawing tablet. Here is what I ended up with. I hope you all enjoy it!
