DepartureThe door was wide open. It led from the old cellar to a corridor whose one side was all windows, with blue light filtering through. There was a faintly glowing threshold dividing the dirt floor on this side from the carpet on the other.

Nicolas tool a deep breath and stepped through. The door collapsed to a fading point of light immediately after.

Angus didn't like it. He hadn't liked much of anything since Nicolas had found him--well, that was unjust. After the initial worry the human would cause a stir, it was nice being able to talk to him openly. For a while. Until Nicolas had turned more or less to blackmail. His secrecy in exchange fo

Thank you.

I give you props. It's not easy working in ink since you can't undo any mistakes. I like the perspective. It was a good choice to make her seem like a towering demon and made something simple look extravagant. I like the background and the criss-crossing lines. Surprising how something that easy can add so much atmosphere. My only suggestion is that since this is so simple you really could have gone crazy with the detail on the dress.

I encourage you to go after that dress. What I meant by details was keeping them concentrated in that area where the spider web was already formed. That way the uppper body still had a shadowy feel while the lower half kept the eyes interested.
