Thanks Ascenderriseabove. Somehow, I have not seen Fantasia. I should do so some day.

Love your interpretation of the theme ... strangely, Dante come into my mind when I see the drawing!! Nicely done!

Hi!
I agree with Alina Chau... even though I couldn't put my finger on the right thought at first, Dante's Inferno was there. It is dramatic and boldly graphic!(Can't you tell I went to college?) (I went)

Not to be totally unoriginal in my comment, but I did kind of see Dante's "Inferno" myself. Beautiful pen work and nice contrast!

Very nice pen and ink. Looks a bit like an old woodcut. It looks as though the devils have the upper hand in this conflict! - Very atmospheric.

Looking forward to more.

This makes me think of Paradise Lost! It has an epic look to it. I love your penwork, and I always enjoy the technical details you share. Very cool!
