Thank you; I'm happy you think the quote fits him and that you liked the splash of color!  (It was originally going to be a gem on a crown, but then I finished drawing the hair and didn't want to try drawing metal against that, so it became collar embroidery XD  Which ultimately works better, I think as it helps balance the image a little.)

This is so expressive! And that's a lovely hand! I really like your linework, and the colour emphasis. Great use of the prompt.
