This is great! I love especially how the texture and pattern on the jawbone is done...

Thank you so much! The texture on the jawbone was actually unplanned. It was done out of rage that it didn't look quite right. I guess rage is sometimes good for me.

Gorgeous and moving. I really like this the composition and the expression on his face. Lovely colors and texture on his skin as well.

It's funny how everyone responds so differently to art, because I never seem to see the things people tell me they see.
I love that.
Thank you so much for seeing lyricism and poetry in this. As a lover of words, I can't imagine a better compliment.

It's a really neat concept and I love the colours. Though I noticed that in the proccess shot there was paper airplanes but not here...

Nice catch. As you saw, I had planned for the planes to be there all along, but when the painting was finished, I realised that there was just too much going on and as much as I wanted the paper planes to be there, ultimately they detracted from the figure which I wanted as the main focus. So I painted over them. You can still actually see a bit of an aeroplane on his back in the final shot, since I couldn't use acrylic over his body.
