Description
Hell's vengeance boils in my heart,
Death and despair flame about me!
If Sarastro does not, through you, feel the pain of death,
Then you will be my daughter nevermore.
Disowned be forever,
Forsaken be forever,
Destroyed be forever
All the bonds of nature
If you do not make Sarastro turn pale!
Hear, Gods of Vengeance, hear a mother's oath!
— Emanuel Schikaneder, second aria of the Queen of the Night in W.A. Mozart's The Enchanted Flute —
The Queen of the Night ordering her daughter Pamina to kill Sarastro. Yes, that's a Zauberflöte 'fanart'. However, I'm not sure if it really fits in the Fanart category, since it's my own take on it, and not a rendition from an actual version of this opera piece.
Actually, this scene has a double meaning: while the idea behind it was clearly inspired by my listening to the famous aria quoted above, I also decided to use something very similar in Shadow Nexus, where a NPC used ink to draw such a scene. As for what it represents in the Chronicle, my players will have to find out later.
Critique welcome. I can't touch up a lot of things in this drawing, unless I want to ruin the paper, but I'm contemplating turning it into a print, so if there's some blatant mistake worth editing, I might as well try to do it.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactThis work reminds me strongly of some medieval illustrations.
Your work is full of details, especially on the outfits of the characters. I really like the patterns on the borders of the sleeves.
the mask of the girl in black is nice, though the feathers could have been a little more thick.
The positions are good, they are expressive and give movement to you work.
You chose to work in black and white. It's a nice idea, original. but in my opinion, your characters don't stand out enough. they don't clearly stand out from the back ground.
The coloring of the black character is good, you managed to give volume to her dress and her hair. in comparison with her, the character in white seems a bit plain. her hair are quite stiff, compared to the black waves of the second character's hair.
That's the only things that really bothers me in that drawing, but I understand that giving volume in black and white is not easy. maybe for another drawing in that style, you should try to add a little grey for the shading.
