Yes, I love it. Wonderful shading. Very realistic. Charcoal pencil or sticks? Compressed or vine? Are the clouds actual shading? They look so real- it almost looks like you photoshopped them in.

I like the escalator because the escalator can never break- it can only become stairs.

charcoal pencils.
yes, the clouds are done in PS, but actually would be easy to do with charcoal. I liked the way they darken the atmosphere of the scene. they could also be clouds of churning water. again, I was going for subtle, to influence the dark "mood".
