Lovely washes, Michael. Very effective images. Like it.

Like how the colours are mixing Michael. Like how the heads are bowed.. 👍🏻

I like the simplified way you've painted these people, but they are still very real because you have the poses exactly right.

I like how you connected the figures and the looseness of it all. Great work Michael.

The figures do actually suit the title Michael. Well painted and I like the addition of black pen line ..just enough!
