Description
Snakes!!For the heck of it, I actually timed myself, and the pic took about 25-26 hours (not counting scanning and pasting everything - 4 panels - together). Does not include the pre-drawing tinkering either (specialy thanks goes to my hamster, who didn't protest at all when I used marker to ink a suspiciously familiar pentagon/hexagonal pattern on her rolling-ball).
I have a WIP of this in scraps (and a couple other WIPs of this too, which I will upload to scraps later).
I just know I'm forgetting something that I wanted to say - sorry in advance to the edt...

Nice icosidodecahedral (I mean "soccer ball") framework. I don't get all relations between the various symbols (as I don't always on M.C. Escher's engravings) but I like the global picture.

Wow. Cool picture. Are you a MC Escher Fan? I'm sure you know him. If you don't check him out. Great work and very similar to yours.
Superb job!

It's about 14 inches in diameter (usually I work on paper that's either 36*48 or 30*40 cm, unless I do something digital - then I do what my computer lets me do

Beautiful - your technique is perfect as usual - the detail in this piece is superb and the almost symmetrical design works really well

This looks so cool! It's like a chain-link fence!

Amazing. This was started in pencil, right? It's a buckyball formation indeed but there are overtones of Escher in the piece. Fantastic piece, truly. Wish I was good as you, kayne.

The picture is pencil except for the eyes - the color in those was just done by changing the mode to RGB and airbrushing over them in color mode. I also always crop the background out of the images when they are finished. I have WIPs of this in scraps that don't have the backgrounds removed (complete with some guidelines and eraser flecks that I was just too lazy to brush off before scanning an unfinished picture).
Thank you for your comment

Very impressive details. esp Love that "rolling ball" concept. I wonder what inspired you to draw it. Haha, Great stuff! I can stare at it forever.
BTW, Snakes are awesome!

OMG DETAIL!!! VERY NICE!!! no crit, amazing work as usual!
actually, come to think of it...there seems to be a slight lack of depth of field...maybe blur some of the back snakes a little? or am I just seeing it wrong?
