Description
Done for a Memento Mori theme.(Aaand I ripped the title off one of my favorite Lisa Gerrard albums! Schweet!)
But I added something of a lovers/valentine theme to it.
Something along the lines of a knight carved in stone on a cathedral's interior pillar, and a radiant angelic woman on a stained glass window.
We may never know whom they were, if they ever were living,but know they are there forever.
When I get the chance, I'll upload the untouched scan.
Colored pencils, watercolor pencils, watercolor paints, charcoal, ink, and Corel. Phew.
And check out that real authentic looking paper curl in the corner.

The stained glass is drawn really well. From the thumb it looks like a photo!

Good job! The stained glass window is very well done and the stone figures are very well drawn.
The link between the angelic woman and knight is also very well done.

Oh thank you!
That distance between figures is a relief, I was worries senseless I'd make it too vast or try and fill it up too much...
I enjoyed doing it, and got such a great feedback on it.

Yes! I actually had it mostly done by Valentine's day, but worked it more and more, and am happy I did.
And thanks for adding it to your Howers collection!

I JUST got to look at these gorgeous pictures! 
I love cathedrals and stained glass, and cannot wait to see one in person one day!
And thank you about the piece, it was a pleasure to do.

I agree with the first comment, the contrast is great. I can definitely see distance between the stained glass and the column, good job. Everything has definite shape as well; the curves curve and the bricks have their own boundaries. You could have pushed some of the values a little more, like around the column portion that is facing us, as it is opposite a light source, but it's fine.
I'm sorry, but I have a little issue inside my head over the left-most knight and his scale. His face seems to be really stretched out compared to the other knights' heads. 
Really

Thank you for that fantastic write up-critique! 
I agree with what you are saying, and some of those facts were niggling me as I finished the piece.

You are very welcome.
Glad I could be of any assistance.

Beautiful work, Inki... the contrast between colour and greyscale works beautifully here. My, how your work is coming along in leaps and bounds!

But work and work and work all paid off, and I admit I am tickled, it so much better that stuff I was doing a few years ago!
