InktoberDay12 WIP

"Shattered" depicts the aftermath of the first kinslaying from the Silmarillion. I don't usually post works in progress, but this one is going to take a while to finish properly. I actually broke out my Strathmore Bristol pad for this idea, so I want to do it right. I'm using the reference from SenshiStock (though turned slightly for a different perspective). The ships in the distance are an homage to a beautiful painting by Ted Nasmith, "The Burning of the Ships". I'm going to have to replace some white in that space between the roiling clouds and the seafoam spray, the transition is too sudden, plus I may use an old toothbrush to flick some white specks back into the black expanses of the star field. This here is a whole lotta hatchwork!

I will post the finished work later. It's now finished!
