ness makes wonderful pictures and icons, so I thought I would draw some fanart, but I can't draw, so I wrote this (Although is not writing a very specific and limited form of drawing?).

I thought that per these:

Lara and Ness have swapped bottom halves, so they should also swap surnames. I wrote Ness instead of Nestor because I couldn't fit a t's ascender in there with the flourish on the N swooping down. D:

This is pushing the limits of how big my handwriting can go, and controlling the pen since it needs a lot of pressure to open the nib that wide which really reduces control going into curves. I had to use a very worn pen (the more you use a pen, the more flexible it becomes, presumably from the metal fatigue) for writing this large, which is why the hairlines are a bit juddery at points.

The upper names are written in an ink which has gallic acid, indigo and logwood in it (apparently) and the lower one is just a plain carbon ink.

For reference, I looked at writing by J. H. Jaeger, a teacher of handwriting in Prussia who published abook c. 1857 with lithographic reproductions of his calligraphy (and it was the Bavarian limestone sort of lithography then!).
