 I have had a bit of struggle trying to fill in my tracing with gradient so I still have to work on that.  So far, I have traced the main piece. I used the top of the lantern and handle from the pepper crusher into one. I plan on adding shadows of people in the small gaps towards the top.  My inspiration as soon as I put these two together was the book called "Tender is the flesh". To those who have read it, you know it definitely is a choice. The main point of the story is food scarcity and the desperate measures was cannibalism. The disconnection or empathy in the beginning was very impactful for me. So I want to make a piece inspired by that disconnection.  This image of the factory will probably be in some part of the image, towards the bottom. I also have in mind to add conveyer belts using the arms of the lanterns and manipulating them to the right angles. I will try to figure out the issue I am having with gradient and will post an updated image soon.
