Cazador Melancholy

A long time ago I saw this painting of this man in this pond, looking sad and confused. I wanted to recreate it but give him confidence and power, despite the sadness he must feel. Even though its a little grim with the blood on the body, i did want it to be colorful and kinda magical? The nature of killing can inflect a lot of a person, often dark themes, so i wanted to do the complete opposite.
