Tried to take the best picture I could but the light still reflected a bit in the ink.
I was afraid that simply drawing something related to Arnold Böcklin's paintings would feel too daunting, but drawing felt fun and I didn't have time to worry about my expectations.
I'm happy with the result! :D
This is so cool!
I see the inspiration but you've made something new here too.
The orange paper is really beautiful, and the structures feel solid because of the clear lights and shadows. Good job.
Thank you very much! The light and shadow was very much a trial and error process. Being able to add black and white on surfaces already colored helped a lot. I'm glad you like it! :D
one of my fav stories about the original is that one of my fav pianists, rachimaninoff, saw a black and white version of the piece and made a whole composition about it then saw the color version and said he wouldn't have made the composition if he saw the original.
there's that same kind of energy i think in this piece, the really stark red feels so poignant that it's downright inspirational with how deep those blacks become otherwise. a really great piece!!!
I'm very flattered! Thank you so much, it means a lot! :D
I rarely listen to classical music despite having a sweet tooth for it, thank you for making me discover Rachmaninoff's composition!
I remember when I first heard about the painting in a hour long essay video on youtube years ago. Listening to someone sharing their love for this artwork through extensive research on its history and influence really drew me in. Since then, I've been seeing this island in so many places, it's pretty insane!
It's been a tad too eventful for my taste, but overall pretty good, thanks! I hope your having a good day as well! 
Yeah I know what you mean- things can get too eventful/hectic pretty quickly. But yes things are going good thanks :)
oh WOW this is so sick omg, i love the stark black and white lighting
