The Sea Rat, from "The Wind in the Willows."

"And you, you will come too, young brother; for the days pass, and never return, and the South still waits for you. Take the Adventure, heed the call, now ere the irrevocable moment passes! "Tis but a banging of the door behind you, a blithesome step forward, and you are out of the old life and into the new! Then some day, some day long hence, jog home here if you will, when the cup has been drained and the play has been played, and sit down by your quiet river with a store of goodly memories for company. You can easily overtake me on the road, for you are young, and I am ageing and go softly. I will linger, and look back; and at last I will surely see you coming, eager and light-hearted, with all the South in your face!"

I'm really taken by all your work, I've been oohing & ahhing for the last 10mins over your gallery - but just had to comment on this one. There's something about it that reminds me a little of Aubrey Beardsley's work, the way it's composed & the balance between the lighter & darker areas. It's a beautiful piece, I love how you depicted the sea rat. It's very inspiring for someone like myself
