Mortimer the garden dormouse often has a very curious effect on timekeeping devices... They seem to mutually influence each other, for better or worse?

One of the things I want to get better at this year is digital painting, so now that I have a day off, I took my chance to work on a very old draft I made somewhere last year or maybe even the year before that. Back then I got stuck and gave up, but now I finally saw how I could make things work out, and after 3,5 hours this was the result. I don't know the total amount I spent on this, much too long probably! So, lots of flaws in this most likely, in terms of lighting, perspective and so on. But I don't really care about them any more. I like the roughness, it reminds me of the old canvasses and paintings. It's a fantasy piece, and the substance inside the hourglass is not quite the regular sand you'd expect to find. But then again, Mortimer is not your regular dormouse either...
