Description

"In Bravil lies the home of the Lucky Old Lady and a "lucky" Bosmer, and today fortune shines on both... but only one shines back."

"...Ungolim, the leader of the Black Hand, the Listener. He routinely visits the Lucky Old Lady statue each night, which is where he receives the list of people to visit that have performed the Night Mother Ritual..."

The first thing that strikes me about this work is how everything is centered and balanced. The chapel steeple lined up against the moon with the goddess at the center; the other moon off to the left while the statue and the protagonist are leaning towards the right. I am reminded a of Stanley Kubric's work. Though despite technical superiority of this piece, the work does not leave me cold. The the protagonist who has just been struck is obviously in a state of shock as he has just dropped his sword. The pool of blood at his feet also has a humanizing effect. The only fault I would find with this work--and this is just a personal preference--is lack of some bluer tints, but again that's just my personal preference. You work is excellent. Best of luck in the contest.
