this started out as a doodle while the computer was being a bitch, but since the computer kept being a bitch i kept adding stuff onto this and started getting really into it so this came out

for some reason while doing traditional art i have more patience for small repetitive details, and even enjoy doing them for some reason. it's never as tedious as doing them digitally

anyway i'll probably be doing more of these sorts of things in the near future, because i think i'm relatively good at them and i'm not exploring this side of my artistic skills nearly enough

i know it's slightly wonky, but i made a point of using no rulers or anything in this; completely free-handed it. also anyone that decides to steal this for whatever purposes will end up with a slightly off design so yeah joke's on them
