A Soldiers Story (Wip)

I have been given the honor of creating a piece for my local veterans organization. They asked me to create a piece using all the branches. So my story is a young man looking up at a recruiting sign(to the viewer) and having the ghosts of each branch in various poses from saluting him to starting his story, to having their hands on his/his moms shoulders in the back. I am debating on keeping him as a sketch because his story hasnt been written yet and coloring the ghosts so let me know what you think!
