wow i must say i love this. there is a bit of disconnect between the foreground of the castle and the background style-wise, but that could be because it's unfinished [i have not looked at the final version yet]. either way, i really like the castle, the style, the shading it's gently macabre. very nice. backgrounds a bit too wistful IMO, but i really like it as a separate image. nice job here.
