Do I see a lot of DC Comics influence or is it just my eyes? (Going by the face types and general composition)

Ha, I'm actually more of a Marvel guy. I tend to absorb a certain amount of style from art I'm looking at, not even intentionally most of the time, it just seeps into my own drawing, so yeah, definitely a lot of Marvel superhero comics influence in there, I think I was influenced a fair bit by Joe Madureira at the time, but also heavily by my time spent in the animation industry as well. I always make sure that I'm not 'copying' a style, just incorporating things I like into my own style

I love how he's reaching towards us but looking up, as if he's seeing things that we can't.

Interesting fact: The Bible plus ancient lit refers a lot to Jesus being hung on a tree, and at first glance, most think that it's simply referrng to the wooden cross. However,a look at historical background shows that criminals were often actually crucified ON A TREE. The Romans would get a sturdy tree, uprot it, cut off the branches and roots, and then nail on the crossbeam (along with the criminal) before sliding the tree trunk into a hole in the groud to prop it up.

Hey, glad you like my art. I'm sorry I don't have time to enter your competition, I'm already losing sleep as it is
Your book sounds intriguing and also very weird. I hope you're not out to mock Jesus in any way, there's already too much of that going on.
Thanks again for checking out my illustration!

Looks, like they only ship the comic within Australia. I'm in the U.S. Too bad.

Actually, if you go to the order page on the site,

down the bottom it lets you know where to send an order for overseas requests.
I'm working on the full-sized colour version, which I will request they make available overseas. I'll post some previews of it soon.
