I really like this picture. The textures are amazing--I can't believe how much variety you can create with just a ballpoint pen! And I also really like how it looks like the creature was made from parts of your version of the Pequod--planks and spikes and strangely organic yet metallic-looking pieces. Fantastic.
Awesome! This is one of my favourites. I read about your project via Spreeblick http://www.spreeblick.com/. It's great!
Rudy, thank you very much. I had not made that Pequod connection, at least not on a conscious level, but I think that is an absolutely fascinating observation and I am so grateful you shared it. I think it's actually quite apt.
Hello Frau Schmidt, and thank you very much. That mention on Spreeblick was wonderful (thanks again Tanja!) and I am thrilled to have so many visitors from Germany and Europe. I hope you'll stick around for the next 400 pages.
