Looks awesome so far! I love the composition

Thank you! I tried to draw inspiration from traditional, narrative oil painters.

That's really cool! Is there any specific pieces or artists that you would list as inspiration for this one?

The most influential pieces were by John George Brown (instagram.com/p/C_BhC_mJFV3), Alma-Tadema (instagram.com/p/C9VHw39InnF/), and Emile Friant (instagram.com/p/C8XEs6Oo4EJ/?img_index=1); each, especially the last one, captured a daydream-like melancholy I personally experience when I paint. Though the creative process can be arduous in the intermittent phases, taking short breaks to imagine/fantasize about the finished piece usually provides enough motivation to continue!

Those are beautiful pieces. I definitely see the atmosphere you were going for in this piece from the last link you posted! I think you captured the vibe well.

Thanks, I'll do my best to carry it to completion!
