His Butler, Bound

So this is a Kuroshitsuji piece that I started on well over a year ago... It actually began as a stick figure sketch in my math notebook, lol.

I've been working on it off and on, trying different techniques and styles as I went.

I had it almost finished up when the FUNimation Black Butler fanart contest came about, so I decided to enter it. I didn't win, but I still got the complementary "Thanks for entering the contest!" package, which was super cool :]

I spent a lot of time messing around with the background, trying to create just the right look and mood and as usual i'm not completely satisfied, but it works well enough.

I also tried utilizing lots of pattern and texture, but you've gotta see it fullsized to really see the details.

Even though this is a fanart, i'd really appreciate any and all (constructive) advice i can get :3
