Oh, wow! This is awesome! The theme is totally unexpected, but executed well, and the penwork is outright amazing *can barely get a pen to write for her* I have a friends who does pen, so I know secondhand how difficult and time-consuming it can be, and frankly, you're a god in my eye. ^___^

Haha. You flatter too much. It just takes a bit of patience is all. This pic took my fourteen hours if I recall.

I flatter not at all! This is pure skill, patient or otherwise. ^^

Wow! This is in PEN?! I can't stop looking at it. [emoticon]

I really like the theme of this picture, too. And you executed it really well, I agree.

That's some awesome details and still-life drawing right there. It's also very surreal with the skeletion reflection :O!
