When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
Been working on this one for a little while, and I wanted it to show. I love the Victorian age, classical music, steam engines – that era and ethos, and I am an admitted romantic, so this is my little ode to that. Whether or not this is Victorian London, the Old West, or whereever, I shall leave to the viewer. Is the serenade between acquaintances, is she intrigued by the music he plays, or by the man…?
I plan to do some more like this or in other mediums down the road, but this is the big project for the moment. More practice and experience using good inking techniques. I’m pleased with how it turned out. I have to find or make the perfect reference photos, and this one took some time to track down and then incorporate into a good composition, but I am, in the end, SO pleased and must extend a hearty thanks to the dA community for making such great images and inspiration available, especially (obviously) the below stock accounts. In Any case, this was also partially a bet to myself - My dad saw my latest works this past winter and said, "Don't you like Victoriana?" "Of course - you know I do," I replied. At which point he rightly pointed out that none of my art reflected that, so I started composing ideas for this, and here it is... 15-20 hours, pen & ink (micron) on 81/2 x 11ish paper (my dimensions are never perfect).

maybe Sci-fi westerns.
it's good work
I worked at a Steam Train Museam and their is nothing romantic about scraping grease and sandblasting old metal.
But once they are in motion they are something else.
I love pullman carriages,

Well, my actual experience with locomotives is limited to a couple rides and lots of staring - they just look cool. Take me back to a time I never lived
THANKS
