Ego; the last

Hello beautiful people of this amazing community, how do you fare on this day? I hope this post finds you well.
I have a something special to share, this is the piece that concludes my ongoing series monochrome, it's been quite a journey of discovery and enlightenment for me and i really appreciate the support of this community in making this series receive the support it deserves, its is very encouraging.

I call this piece Ego the colour purple is a royal colour and royalty is a thing of elegance and pride but in between these lies ego, borne of pride and self esteem.
This character is the embodiment of Ego, hence his menacing facial expression and posture, unfaltering self confidence and self esteem.
Ego is a beast that gets bigger the more you feed it pride, appraisal, compliments ans so on. It all it's ramifications; it is destructive.
