Description
All done at last! And just in time, too.This drawing was a challenge to myself, to see what I could do by taking my time, especially on the scenery, which is where I usually get sloppy.
I am happy with the turnout. Not as happy with the final scan, but I will photograph it later, while I'm in Nanaimo, and see if I can update the image.
This piece is about the feeling you get when you walk into an old place... somewhere people were many many years ago. When you walk through these places, you can feel their memories. I can, anyway, and I love it.

Yeah, it did take a while. I think about a month, overall, but I'd have to look at my WIP postings to know for sure.
I really appreciate the comment!

Aw, thanks! You are very kind indeed for such words.
It's a strange feeling to come home and see so much in my inbox. After all these years drawing for sites like DA, I don't think I've ever had the same.. VOLUME of recognition. It's an amazing, encouraging, uplifting sensation.
So, thanks for the support since the start. It's always been people like you who keep me going.
