I've done the same thing @edel82 . I was just a few years into my career and teaching at the Illustration Academy while working on an illustration in the faculty lunch room. I spent all week trying to "find" something interesting in the surface and texture. My mentor Mark English complimented me when it was done- "Looks great- what the hell took you so long?" It was said in good humor, but the lesson stuck. Your value and composition look very well thought out. You might benefit from some smaller elements- shapes/marks, etc. particularly in the oil towers, even if it deviates from reality a bit. Excellent finish.

Painterly and ephemeral. Great feel to this one. Is this from Hound of the Baskervilles or another story? Sorry- I missed the reference to the story.
