This. Is. Beautiful.
From a purely aesthetic and formal elements point of view, your piece is brilliant. (Not to mention the feelings that this piece conjures within the viewer.) The composition creates so much depth and the detail is incredible. I can believe this took so many hours! It's apparent that you love doing this as you've put such great care an effort into this. It has really paid off!
So I may have only skimmed your back story, I apologise for this!
This has such a fantastical and eerie quality to it, I am awestruck.
Two thumbs up to you, human. You've created some beautiful, haunting, ominous and powerful art.
