I don't usually do portrait faces. I'm just not good at them but I found the perfect reference photo so I did one. This was aimed at a "specialty" audience who love this sort of thing. I was inspired by my friend and blogbuddy Tristan Alexander who does so well with figures and faces. A "Bacchant" is a devotee of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and drunkenness. They were famous for their keg parties and excessive behavior. Nowadays we just have genteel wineries where no Dionysian action takes place.
