The Archbishop Calls

Another illustration for Caliban Full Text (please check it out the image will make a lot more sense alongside the text). Im particularly pleased with this piece and thanks to everyone on Conceptart.org who have given me feedback as its improved. The piece is cropped A3 bristol board with graphite from HB through to 9B pencils. I used a number of reference photos of ottoman tea sets to construct this composition. I was planning to add elaborate scrollwork to the image but with my graduation exhibition looming and a history of overworking and destroying artwork I thought it best left.
