Description
Ok, here you go!! The start of me trying to challenge myself with my art! yaaaaayyy. It didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but it's a start...
This is a scene from my mind... There's an ancient temple which is rarely visited, since few know where it is... If you can make your way past the overgrown vegetation you might find the Pool of Reckoning. This is a dangerous place to be for most people... For those who are completely clear of conscience, they may look into the pool and all they will see is their own reflection. However for those with a burden of guilt, they will be able to see past the surface into the depths of the pool. The more guilt a person carries, the further they can see in, and the pool is truly fathoms deep... Those unlucky enough to see all the way to the bottom will find themselves staring through the water for hours and hours, trapped there and enthralled by what they see. After staring into the depths for what seems like an age, their body will become one of the drops of water that fills the pool, and there they will remain forever...
Yeah.
This was done with watercolours. Time taken: approx 6 hours (more if you include waiting for layers of paint to dry...)

Overall Vision Originality
Technique ImpactFirst of all, thank you for putting this up. Critic powers, ACTIVATE!!!
The overall vision of a hidden pool serving an unknown purpose is perfectly portrayed in both the picture and the description. That is a rare but very important combination; you have pulled it off perfectly.
The only, and i mean ONLY reason you didn't get a five star rating for originality is because this is so similar to works i've seen before. Of course, I don't like to rate Originality in the first place.
Your technique is pretty fair. It's a little rough, but that can be expected from new experiences and challanges. I think that your stone wall and collum could be better drawn, but your lighting and the reflectivity of the water are gotten down perfectly.
The impact of this was fairly great. You could stare at this for quite some time while wondering where you have seen this place before. When i first saw it, I recognized what i was seeing, even though I had never seen it before. The familiarity of this is what truely gets my full aproval of this astouning devonation.
