This is such an interesting piece. I really like how the little sailor and the old man have the same posture and that hazy halo-like element around his head.

Yeah, he was in multiple wars but never speaks of them... there's a certain nobility in Navy men

It looks like some sort of ancient photo, and has an atmosphere of nostalgia about it. Which seems to fit with getting older (haha not that I know anything about that)
Sadness is poured into the expression and grungy nature.
Anyway good work, I'm liking all of these drawings done in the same style.
:iconsporadictouchofennui:
thank you, yes, the ancient photo look is a favorite of mine
:heart:

This is totally awesome, and he makes me feel very sad, seeing the things he has seen and doing the things he has done and yet all we do is look at him as an old man and i belive in our time-n-age we kinda look down on people like that. and well thats all i have to say about that. love the image and thats what it made me think of not of what i thought of your work.

it is kind of a sad piece but it is also kind of an exploration as well. exploring the new world!

indeed but you know he is probibly thinking about all the pills he needs to take with him over the journey i mean wouldnt you if you were that old and you know the sad face is over his medicare plan being all super bad and stuff with our current powers that be always messing it up over their quest for oil and not being helpful to older people who need a lot of medication
