Description
old drawing of a character for a story I might as well admit I've abandoned any hope of doing.

It actually reminded me a bit of the background in the Mona Lisa or stuff by Bruegel. It's been awhile since my art history classes but I remember the medieval period vaguely.
In essence I feel that the skewed perspective contrasts with the realism of the character. If one looks carefully, it might break the suspension of disbelief you get when looking at him. It's like in between styles a bit.
If you were looking to emulate the saintly appearance of those old paintings, I would suggest going all out and making it look like a Giotto (had to do some research there). It would be a powerful statement on the status of the character... or it would simply look cool.
Still, I really like this drawing. I hope you have more.
