Moses for my Birthday?

I did this drawing today, which so happens to be my birthday. It seems the older you get, the less exciting the prospect of getting older declines. This drawing is to depict Moses. When the Bible was translated from the original Greek to Latin some details were lost. In Greek, it described Moses as having rays of light radiating from his head. The closest word to rays in Latin was horns. Thus, in the Latin translation Moses had horns! Michelangelo sculpted several pieces with a horned Moses and I thought it would be fun to do my own... he looks quite intimidating!
