King Cotys I of the Odrysiae

Description

I chose not to name it "Thracian King". Because I believe the ruthlessness in his face reflects Cotys I.

I wanted to try out some techniques I think I saw somewhere but can't remember where. 

Cotys I was the King of the Thracian Odrysian Kingdom (Also by their tribal name of Odrysiae) after killing the previous king Hebryzelmis. The helmet is bronze with gold embellishments attached, it is one of the most impressive if not the most impressive of Thracian helmets. And it is still in phenomenal (ready for action one might say) shape. The helmet is 4th C. BC and Cotys is 3rd C. BC.

Kotys on the other hand is a god from the Thracian pantheon very closely related to the Hellenic.
