Do you by any chance sell this as a print anywhere? I've kept coming back to this from time to time since you first posted it, and I would love to have a physical copy of it

It is so beautiful, tender and vaporous that I'm almost ready to cry. I can imagine warm of the sun beams on his shoulders.

He has a really nice face and I like how you rendered the backlight. Well done 
Though he looks a bit fragile/tired to guard other people (don't mind me).

Your pieces always strike me. They're relatively simple with simply a profile, but I think it's your coloring and lines that are usually so dramatic. I can't put words to exactly how I feel, but it's a lovely impression. Sometimes terrifying in a way, rarely soothing, but always, always dramatic. And I love that about your pieces. No matter how many may seem similar in their base composition, I have to always stop to analyze it thoroughly. Thank you so much for continuing to share your artwork.

His expression looks like "I'm lost and alone... But I have to fight, I need to keep hope in future".
Quite amazing !

The lighting and gentle colors are so pretty... I love how there seems to be light coming from the pupil and reflecting on his lower eyelid. Your art is beautiful as always!

Gorgeous work and a really, really beautiful concept. I never knew about this concept of "tutelarius" to begin with, and it's really beautiful. Great execution as always

This is so cool, It reminds in hunters wearing a mask. and they take it off, revealing their own real face.

Your paintings have this beautiful ephemeral quality to them that can't be copied by just looking at it. Do you think there's any chance of you posting a tutorial?
