Description This is an image from what was once a flash fiction story but is now being reworked into a short story. I was hoping to release image and story together, but I've decided to try and get the story published so I'm not sure when I'll be able to share it. Here is the excerpt from where the picture originated:

Karl paused for a moment when he looked at the old man's face; the flickering fire light warped it in strange patterns and distorted his grin. In one hand he held a fine goblet, no doubt filled with centuries old liquor. In the other was the massive drumstick of some bird, chunks of flesh had been torn from it and its juices were dripping off the old man's fingers.

Interesting. I like how you drew the face.

What I really like is the painting style of his face hands and shirt. Very picturesque and unique. But I don't think that the style of the fireplace-lightfade fits to that. especially at the edges you can see too much scribbled lines. Other than that it's awsome and a interesting painting.

Thank you very much for the thoughtful comment! I totally agree with your thoughts on the background and can only attribute lack of skill . Hopefully practice and continued learning will remedy that situation for future pieces.

I'm happy if I could help you somehow. Please make some others in this style! It's cool and I really like this [link] for example. I mean the painting style - I've never seen that before.

Cool art style. Kind of scary and surreal. Warped. But in a good way, if you know what I mean. The colours also go really well with the setiing; the orange cast from the fire place really working well.

One thing I have as a suggestion is to put more dark on the rings and cup. It would help create more range and depth. Other than that, really good job!
