Oooh, love the golden palette! So it's an fifteenth-century-ish Winchester story? Mary has a suitably Puritan look about her. And Dean is just adorable! ♥ This looks like a story I need to read.

Re line-to-color mishaps, I've been there and done that. Many times. :) Something as simple as too much or too little shading in an eye socket or cheekbone can totally wreck a likeness. Now I keep the photo ref in front of me as I shade the facial contours. (But hey, at least y'all digital artists can hit the back button if it all goes sideways.) :D
