Just a sketch of decaying ruins surrounded by lava, I wanted to play with mood and shape language.

I think the one weak point for me is that the ruins appear to be sitting in the middle of a super volcano, which makes the smaller, elevated peak in the background kind of strange and unnatural. Of course, I'm a lover of volcanoes, so do take the criticism with a grain of salt. I still love this piece.
how many hours you it took you start to finish?
So, wanted you to know, from one writer to one artist, that you inspired me.
Thank you for this dramatic and painstaking image, you have quite a talent, and if you are playing with 'moods' you certainly created one here. Brava!

Anyway, beautiful piece nevertheless!
