Well, here it is, finally. I started it back in June, got distacted by a computer game, then by a holiday, then by another computer game, then by my girlfriend, then by work...but yes, it's finished now. Once again the detail is missing in the picture because of constraints in file-size, and the tonage has altered because I had to use a flash on my camera to make the lines clear against the paper.

I'm off to write a novel now, as part of National Novel Writng Month (go to nanowrimo.org for more info), and hopefully I'll be around after I've done that. Stay safe, peeps.

That's great, so intricate, it's almost hypnotic. Any chance of posting a bigger version, or close-ups of the various parts so we can see the detail and the writing?

Good luck with NaNoWriMo by the way, I didn't know you were taking part too! How much have you written so far?

As of this very moment, half way through the second day, I havemanaged to write 1,200 words. Which I've worked out as 2.4%, so I need to get my scates on. What's your name on the site? Mine's the hyper-imaginative 'Gareth Hopkins', which incidentally is my name.

I use Edding Profipens -- basically just fineliners, but with permanent, light-fast ink. Most of it was done using a 0.1mm tips, but I occassionally used a 0.3 or 0.5 to hurry myslef along, and then permanent marker pens to fill in the blackest areas. I used a compass to sketch out the initial 'Balls', and then built up around that, and most of the white areas just came from there. I did get over zealous at one point, and filled in an area that I didn't want to (it's the crescent that's at the furthest left-hand side, at the end of a long white "pendulum".
