It surely took a long time to be done, but the result is quite powerful and impressing. I love it ! I love the idea of the letters, even if you'll surely find people for telling you that the black space between the f and the l "support" the character and get his falling slower. But it's a point of view, and I think it's scary enough. The details and the perspective are great ! when I see this kind of work, I say to myself I should stop drawing little bullshits and really should start a real comic with real pages, and pictures like this. It's motivating ! It's a great work, a big one !

Aw, thank you, sir! And thank you for the commentary. The notion that the lettering is impeding the falling of the character psychologically is a really interesting note, and I think you may be on to something, but I think it's a more than acceptable tradeoff for the other effects that are achieved.
My original intent was for the lettering to almost represent a shout, or exultation, to the falling character, and I think that comes across.
Anyway, thanks again for the comment and the insight, Manu.
