First Critique, so here goes.

I enjoy the look of this artwork very much, including the original version that you did. Most of us all know the dark, sad, history behind the titanic, and I find that the title of this drawing is extremely fitting.

"The hour of death Titanic" encapsulates deeply what I see in this picture, especially towards the end of the boat. In the darkness of the night, the titanic itself still glows brightly with the stars, as though it was representing the fear and hopes of the people on board. Then, as the ship tilts and sinks, I see the light from within filtering through the unnaturally still water, as though it represented the drowning, dying hopes of them men on board. From the point of view, it was almost as though someone was lamenting not the deaths of the people, but the deaths of all remaining hope.

The use of the dark starry night background combined with the bright yellow lights of the ship's interior really stands out, as well as the misty-like colors of the sinking end. The smooth gradient of the ship's hull is also aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

All in all, it's a very detailed digital drawing, and yet at the same time simplistic in its own manner. Together, it represents a somewhat cryptic message of how people felt about the titanic.
