my foot has just gone to sleep, so i may be about to make less sense then usual. (there is a connection, i swear..)
i love that ball thing..it's so cool.. and the light is the awesome, because you are mr. awesome light man, clearly. The blackness is very cool as well.. is like he's in nothingness. is like in the neverending story when the whole of fantasia dissapears, and bastian needs to start making it all again from one little spark of imagination...max is telling his first story and the bit of world to grow from it is beginning to shine...
and that would make sense if you've read the book

Excellent work! I love the fact that there's so much texture in his skin, and I especially adore the fact that his eyes are so light. It always amazes me when dark skinned people have light eyes. 
Excellent work Kev. Truly outstanding.
