This was an attempt to draw a icon portrait of a royal advisor for a goblin liege, its based on the goblins of the game Wyrmsun; which I have taken a great liking too. Its fun its sorta like a homage to old school fantasy rts games, it has elements of warcraft orcs and humans mixed with age of empires. But the entire theme of the game is based on germanic mythology, which works well for the game. It features two playable races at the moment, The Germanic Tribes and the Dwarves; The Germanic Tribes play somewhat differently as they evolved from a proto-german tribe to a medieval polity faction as they progress in their tech tree, which the Dwarves play more like a typical fantasy faction but all races progress to a polity faction; which have their own unique names, team colour, and bonuses.

As for the purpose of this portrait, its for the Grand Strategy mode of the game; which looks really well made but it has problems walking a new player through that game mode. The pop up messages really doesn't give any useful information and I suggested to the developer, Andrettin. That maybe a tutorial that can be activated at the Grand Strategy mode's setup menu. From here you could check to turn on the tutorial and when in-game you would receive dialogue boxes of your faction's royal advisor and they would break down the different aspects of the mode and walk a player through it. So this is the goblin's royal advisor, for his pose I looked at pics of Piter de Vries from Dune; its a type of pose I wanted for the advisor to have a sinister, calculating feel to the goblin. From there I looked up ideas I could do for his attire, I had to keep it somewhat primitive looking BUT make it appeal regal in some sense. So I mixed elements of tribal clothing mixed with roman senator robes which worked quite well. After this month's commissions, I may do more of them for all of the factions in Wyrmsun; The other factions are Germanic Tribes, Teutons, Dwarves, and Gnomes.
