Love Persevering

I have outlasted all desire,
My dreams and I have grown apart;
My grief alone is left entire,
The gleamings of an empty heart.
― Alexander Pushkin

Fiddled with adjustment levels to deepen the blacks a bid and added some soft underlays to make Viego POP

it all starts with this: dumb sketch on a texture. The darker, neater areas are because I drew OVER the position sketch to get some characters right before proceeding to pencil.
