Distractions lead to frustrations

While working, SJ asked me "Can you help me draw a gothic spaceship?"
My respond was "WHY GOTHIC?"
Apparently, they had to choose.
(Note: Gothic as in the gothic period in art not your modern day Victorian vampires)
[Would've been easier if it was the latter.. I'll just splatter some blood and carve crosses]
Anyway, I attempted at it today.
It kinda started out as a moving city...
And then it slowly became a stagnant ruined city...
And then I drew an angel... (as a statue, initially)
And then I drew a demon... (to counter the angel)
A flame sword here, some wings there...
And all of a sudden! it's a battle scene!
By the time I got out of my excitement (which is usually how I am when I'm engrossed in drawing) I realised I got SO sidetracked, the original point of the picture was ruined.
Gah! I am proud of my ruined gothic chapel, though.
I'm staring at it with mixed feelings now.
Hmm, why is the angel hiding between the towers?
