Fabulous work and a stunning composition! I admire artists who work so well in graphite - it's seriously one of the most underrated media of all and classical subjects combined with mesmerizing surrealism made this an instant favorite for me!

It really is reminiscent of the Ouroboros myth, how the serpent represents, symbolizes even the cycle of life. Nicely done, I am impressed by your art.

Hieronymus Bosch - yeah, a early favorite of mine. I visit him from time to time on my time travels (this drawing is just part of the time machine).

The final version is fantastic!!!!! And Ouroboros is a Greek word, meaning "the one who is eating his tail"!!! And I can not imagine a version better from this one... but then again you know better...
