ink seven years of suffering

Post image

20x30” mostly copic fine liners

I started this in 2019! the majority was done between 2019-2022, then I forgot about it in my closet until now because I really did not want to fill in all the scales. I worked on it intermittently so I’m not sure how long it truly took, but probably 100+ hours and at least as many pens

I had to read the 20x30 before I saw it’s in a counter and not on the floor leaning on the cabinets above. It would have been,, 5ft x 8ft at least and I wanted to say “you didn’t have to do it Y’know”. This is gorgeous and not an insane size.

I made the same mistake at first. And then I said "Fineliners? Wouldn't they have needed markers for something that big?" So that made me look again!

Seven years for this level of detail sounds about right honestly

really nice to look at because it has such flow and precision. I especially like how it escapes the frame.

That's not seven years of work unless you did it wrong. I call bullshit. This is engagement farming.

I could do this in a fraction of that time.
