I saw you working on this
Awesome perspective, I also like how a lot of their heads are broken off, makes it look very realistic!

Beautiful! Great colors and textures, and I think the shading is amazing. I also like all the details of the holes and cracks in the stone statues. You're quite skilled with watercolors : )
My only critique is that the background wall seems to be a bit dark, especially since there's no visible structure that is casting the shadow upon it. However, I think it serves to balance the light and dark in the picture.
Anyway, good job overall.

Nice! The textures and details are really well done and I love the perspective and composition, although it is not *exactly* perfect [the second and third pillars from the left seem too similar in width, especially since the distance between them is significantly decreased. It's also possible that it's a mere illusion, since the third pillar is also incredibly bright--yeah, focal point, I know, but it doesn't match the rest nearly enough.]

I didn't really have a tool for the pillars, besides a ruler... >.> I was more concerned with the tops of the pillars, since I had to wing it on the rounded part!
thanks!

Well the top of the pillars turned out great. I love how it's the only truly straight line in the picture, and still somehow manages to go with the rest of it.
