Really, really happy with how this turned out. I've incorporated a lot of symbolism into this specific piece, and I was curious if any of you can figure out what I've changed in my new draft just from what I've foreshadowed here

[watch timelapse of this piece here ]

flower meanings:

Camellia [pink/white] - graciousness
Larkspur [blue] - beautiful spirit
Lavender - purity, devotion

(Kind of a redraw of these)

Thank you! "The Little Prince" was actually a big influence on this character~

Haven't been on DeviantArt for a long time.  Still think of this story a lot, though, and the art too.  Goodness, well I believe after looking through the comments that he most definitely gets shot.  But as for the flowers...I now believe it is someone close to him that does it.  Like perhaps Sarah.

Yes and no: second part of the guess is wrong, but the first half is right

Lovely! I really adore how you draw wrists and hands, you make them look so graceful and ethereal. His nose is very cute too

Agree with the other suggestions...I'm thinking his death comes about a different way. Also, something with the flowers? Eeee. Can't guess!

Woooow his expression is amazing :3 
(does...does he get shot? Because that was my first thought with the hole, and then the flowers seem so innocent and kind of remind me of a crown of thorns kind of thing albeit more innocent looking, like what you'd place on a grave)

As usual, I am left in awe of the beauty and elegance (and sometimes sadness) of your pieces. Truly amazing work.
The white circular pattern and blood spatter on/behind his chest leaves me very interested! You've got me really wondering if he's shot or something! D: 
But anyways, great composition and a rather haunting color palette! Great work.
