This is fantastic, the mood, tone, lighting, shading, text, and an overall powerful image, and fantastic word with 'scrimshaw':

It's odd that humans want to make themselves extinct alongside other more sentient lifeforms on the planet.

Great artwork!

warm regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan. We are a weird lot aren't we. It seems there is an innate desire for self-destruction in humanity but balanced against that a wonder at the marvels of nature. I really struggle to understand it. When such beauty presents itself to us, there still seems to be this impetus to destroy or consume. As sad as scrimshaw on a lost soul.
