Blas de Lezo - Book Cover

Book Cover for "Blas de Lezo: Invicto" by Ricardo Rico.
The reason I chose this composition was to try to show the main character as a leader, appreciated and supported by his followers. But add an oppresive feel to it, as the character seemed to always have to struggle. Also, this composition tried to move away from the more cliché/action oriented options.
Hope you like it!
