Jack

This the main human character for a story im working on called 'The Legend of the Firebirds', which is a story of a boy and his pet growing up together in a heavily fantasy/sci-fi world. My idea is that the story will be split into around 3-4 parts, I have written a first draft out for the first part. Its called 'Jack and Russell'. The image above is is of Jack, but as a slightly older boy/teenager than he is in the first part of the story!

The image is still a work in progress at the moment, but i want to go for a kind of nostalgic 1940s-1950's illustration style, like the way the americans used to paint pictures of woman on their bombers during the second world war. feedback would be great ;)
