Gorgeous tones Rob. Quite a wistful look I find. A bit too much above his head for me though.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. I thought you or someone else would mention the space above his head. I even question it myself. But the more I took away, the less wistful (good word) he looked. And when against a black background, the space fades more gently into the background. So for those reasons I kept it as is. But I might well change it!

 

[Pete Askew]

Good reason Rob. How about actually graduating to black?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, I'll experiment with that. Cheers!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

It's the space where his thoughts sit I think

Love the almost metallic tonality

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Chris, and good observation....got to leave room for a speech bubble

While looking at the statue in 'The Kiss and the Blush', "Sigh, I can't wait to get my arm out of plaster!".

Good one! But how do you think he got it there?!
