wrapped in grave penetration, She keeps Her Vigil just outside the Gate.

So be this.

Comments and thoughts would be welcomed.

I think it's very cool. Only thing I could do without are the purple strokes.

I love the Han Purple.

This ancient pigment has remarkable properties;
even today expanding ideas in quantum mechanics and altered dimensions.

Great motion you've created with this linework, Jordan.

Thank you both.

That purple was actually used to slightly outline the left facial profile of the foreground model's sister...nose and forehead actually.

The drawing is not pretty and was not intended to be...still it caught a touch of power, I think.

Power and graphic originality- when combined with your words, it packs quite a punch.

It's so good to see "not pretty" at this forum. Thanks, Jordan.

Pretty abounds, but powerful art reaches far beyond.

Historically, I think the most powerful works of art are not pretty,
but wrought with emotion, woven with the darker colors of life.
I'd like to see more art like this at FM.
