the glowing dark

I was just messing around with textures and contrast (and wanted to see how dark I can get ).
This was really a challenge to scan! I had to change the contrast of the digitalized picture partly and make the black areas darker without loosing the darker details. But now I´m pretty happy with the result.

Acrylics with brushes on cardboard, ca. 30cm x 40cm (in about 15 hours)
