Why this piece is awesome: It's a little odd to be reccing the first step in a work-in-progress, and the finished piece, Michael Shanks as Daniel, is a really nice portrait, emphasizing the planes and angles of the face, the sun wrinkles and frowny-thoughtful brow creases; it shows the character's indomitable sense of wonder, and the artist has captured the shape and expression of his eyes really well, which is not an easy thing. But I love Step1. The partial coloring/shading of the sketched-in outline gives the one finished eye an extra intensity, and makes the rest of him seem ethereal, as if he's not entirely in the physical world -- which seems to me a more interesting and accurate portrayal, whether it's because he's so much a creature of intellect, or because of his stints as an incorporeal being.
