Da Vinci

Much to Amanda's displeasure, I have been playing a bunch of Assassins Creed 2 as of late. I am enjoying the game, but the setting is really what is doing a lot for me. It is set in 15 century Italy and one of the characters you interact with is none other than Leonardo Da Vinci. You also can buy different works of Renaissance art from dealers in different cities. All of the work that you collect is assembled in your own villa. Of all the stuff you do in a video game, this could very well be my favorite. I love buying all this art. Too bad that there is only about 40 or so works you can buy...

Anyway, all of this is giving me a hankering for so good ol' renaissance art from that period. I did a sketch of Da Vinci's and put it on flickr, but I think this looks better and all thats been done to alter it is add sepia tint:
