Neohaidouks / Romanian RLSH - Flacau' & Zimbrul

The haidouks (hajduks, haiduci) were sort of like Robin Hood in Romania (and in the Balkans). Sometimes thieves or outlaws, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, but other times they just rebelled against the corrupt government and done good deeds their own way. So it's only fitting for a band of RLSH (real-life super heroes) of romanian descent to name themselves Neohaidouks.

Flacau' can roughly translate to something like "Lad" or "Young Guy" and Zimbrul is "The Bison". Well, technically, a zimbru is an european bison, also know as a wisent.

30 - A Congrats Banner for Finishing the Challenge

I got to the end of this and learned quite a few things, as intended. Just need to clear up some stuff since I was asked. I worked for each challenge no more than one day, between my other daily work activities and even if I was unhappy with the results or thought they weren't polished enough I didn't revisit it (since it was about ability as much as it was about time management).  I used no photo textures, just brushes and usually regular round and chalk brush. For the photo studies I did no tracing of course and no color picking. For the real life studies I used no photos, just what I saw on my desk. How to learn otherwise?
