I think that's probably my favorite piece of yours I've seen so far.

Specifically, I like the 'leaning spire' effect, which I've used on a couple of my own pieces.

Thank you! I doodled it during an online meeting with the team and added the shading later that evening. It's strange how many pieces that you consider successful just happen "by accident." Perhaps precisely because you're not straining to make them good.

Hmm yes, the 'unconscious effect,' one might say. I'm a big fan of kids' art for example, and I think they tend to be way ahead of us in terms of being self-conscious and such.
