seem a very good drawing, i think adding a bit more sky to it, would have created a pronounced effect , not that this is not attractive, and a sort of raod to it, would have added more tension,

Comment from Richard


Neat piece. Seems to have a lot of symbolism in it. It just needs a bit more work on the shading to get it to punch out. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Wow! This is what the world might look like for someone on LSD!
The cross appears to be levitating...
The blurred background really adds to the dreamlike effect. Your
drawing is actually scary...well done!

Comment from Papa


SE-Rious, did we see another version of this? In any case, it appears to me to be an excellent drawing with great detail and a strong and appealing impact. There is great detail, and the cross is an added element of interest and perhaps mystery for me.
Peace, Papa

Comment from Holly M.


this piece reminds me a great deal of Echer. and he just so happens to be one of my favorite artists. There is nothing bad that i can say about this piece other than I would have liked to see it on a bigger scale. Thanx for sharing. Holly M.

Comment from Kibitzz


I think it's great, if you look at it it could be standing in a underwater world or in a fairyland , it could be any where depends in what kind of mood you the watcher is. Well done. Kibitzz.

Comment from hanginon


I personally like it. I think it looks like you had a great time thinking about it and applying it to the paper. I work a lot in graphite and you did a beautiful job of blending your shades and tones. As far as the cross goes it must carry some value in you mind so you had fun, its there, so what the hey. nice job

Comment from artfroggy


this picture to me is unsettling............technique is good but I would not like to own it as I find the story behind it not so good.

    i agree the history is terrible but what it means to me is twisted up in it.It was apart of my childhood and I cant remember much about when I lived there.But this was one thing,and oddly enough it gives me a feeling of home.thank you for your comments and for looking.-mike
Comment from rebeld


very nice drawing. the cross on the ground draws your attention to the tower then the twisting tower keeps your eyes looking. good job.
