The figure in the picture was taken by me. The buildings were not from any particular source. I browsed some pictures from the ruins to get a general feel for the architecture & made my own using good old 1-point perspective. I also asked a few questions of ChaCha(424424) on the cell phone regarding things like doors & general architecture questions. (5 years and 3200 days ago)

Could use some heavier shading and contrast here and there, but overall this is pretty impressing work. A lot of nice details. Very good job, author.

Wow!erspectives are welldrawn and despite the person is faced from us, you can feel his fear as he drops the vase... High votes from me! It´s very very amazing. PGL

author says:

Thanks for the comments! The original has a better value range than what was posted. I just now went into Photoshop to bring back some of the value range & lose some of the gray feeling that I get when I photograph drawings. Its hard to do without losing the finer pen strokes.

Super work and a very nice style. Composition and proportions are good, would agree that it is lacking contrast. I would also be very interested in how do you achieve your very uniform shading most Visible on the floor tiles.

author says:

Warlock, as far as the contrast goes, I have trouble duplicating the whiteness of the paper without losing the fine lines. I used 1 fine pen at various angles to achieve all marks.The uniform shading emerges gradually over many many marks. I migrate back & forth until I am satisfied with the distribution. You may notice that the wall bricks are not as consistent. That was by design, as even modern bricks have shade variation based on firing temperature, oxygen, and chemical composition of the clay. Thanks for the observations ; )

Really good drawing here, author. I used to use soft graphite pencil, then a q-tip to smudge and shade, maybe try that. Great job on the explosion!
