The Waiting Room

Man, I've been working on this piece forever. Or more accurately, I've been working on it in short bursts separated by forever. The paper is about 17" by 20", and crammed with detail. I'm sure there are many errors in perspective, and some areas aren't very well defined, but overall I'm fairly pleased with the piece. I do have a later version in which I've added inkwash, so I'll probably post that sucker in the next few days. This began way back in November as an assignment in AP Studio Art Class to do an interior or an exterior. Everyone expected me to do something wierd and horrifying, so I couldn't let them down. While I do have a fairly clear idea of what is going on in this picture, I'd rather leave its meaning up to your interpretation than beat you over the head with an explanation. It's not terribly subtle anyhow. Oh, and yes, the naked guy is me.
