Literally another side to Cortland ^_~
I realised recently that I do rely so heavily on faces to get emotions across in storytelling, and so I wanted to see how much I could say with the back of someone instead.

There's so much going on in this young man's head!
I have trusty istock photo to thank for the pose inspiration :)

I think that reference helped, the pose looks like a boxer might, and i can sense emotion despite the lack of his face.

That's fab to hear, thank you! It's fascinating trying to inject expression into pose and stance, rather than the face. I was pretty chuffed with the result. And yeah, the ref was a big help!
