The detail in the distortion the glass causes around the edges is peak! Everything else looked so good I immediately checked the edges and was delighted to see the distortion!

No notes, 10/10!

Thank you so much! This is from a reference photo I took back in 2022. I tried drawing it then but couldn't make it work. It looks like I've got better!

I'm no authority on art at all. Just an older man who likes they he sees here.

How do you get the black background? That doesn't look drawn. If it is, insanely even result.

The background was teeeechnically painted, rather than drawn. Ink applied directly with a brush. Also, a high contrast filter does a lot of lifting when it comes to hiding brush strokes.

I recognize that bulb!

In any case, super crisp, especially with the refraction in the glass bulb. A lovely change up to a classic.
