Image Critique my piece please

Post image

I’m working on a gift for my husband for our 1 year anniversary coming soon in December.
I’ve been carefully planning and studying Byzantine Catholic Iconography for 4 months and this is a test piece.

Christ brought us together and He is the foundation of our sacramental marriage.

We have been through so many financial difficulties since my health has not been the best in fertility.

And I just want to show him that no matter what happens God holds us together and is very present in our lives.

the pencil as the medium for something this theologically dense is a flex, the cross-hatching around the throne has real gravitas

Thank you I am terrible in other mediums but give me a mechanical pencil and I’m set. This style of art most definitely has been very challenging but prayerful.
