Well, no one can compete the original work and Remie is a wonderful artist, but yours is great just as well, and I am more then proud to share the same thought with you on this pic.

Hey Peter: this will always remain an impressive image. A very good rendering.

Very neat with textures and colors that sing from the heavens. Bumping up.

the pencils aren't sharp enough. Also they are not aligned well...they dont' seem to be in a straight line

Another excellent chance for a side-by-side comparison. This is an excellent tribute to Remie's original. I get the sense that your lights were not quite as powerful as his (maybe trying to avoid blowing out the whites?). The result is that your reds are not quite as vibrant either, but it's still an excellent photo, and one you should be proud of. 7.

I know this sounds silly, but the pointed end of your pencils is too short/steep. the shadow in front is a distraction as well.

This has a simplicity that works.

Love the graininess in this. Gives it a real "canvas / arty" look. Focus on the pencil tips seems a little too soft though? 8.

I like the way this differs from the original. Nicely done.

In amny senses this is a wild improvement on the original, which actually suffers from big technical problems. What you don't have, for me, is the big bright punchy over-exposed feeling (good thing? bad thing? don't know), and this to my eye suffers a bit for that - in a way it's too realistic this, rather than having the disgned edge of the original. As a variation - well, the set-up itself is so very designed, that I'm not certain of the benefits of this approach.
