End of the Way

"At the end of our way we all must walk to the other side.
Look for the Waiting Man, the Hill and the Lantern for they will lead your journey, my child."

Something that worked way better in the thumbnail   Sadly it only became clear when I was already halfway through, so I finished it anyway.
As usual, using ink is wonderful, but I'm still not good enough to bring out all the shades of dark grey I had pictured in my mind, so the result is... just a lot of black and composition failure.
But! I still like the concept very much, so I guess it's something I'll re-draw in the future to see if I can do something better.

Tools: dip pen and ink + gimp for the texture (and toying around with contrast to at least making it understandable)
