After having completed the lines for the last iteration of this project.... it struck me how much of a cluster-fuck it is. I know that people have been saying that from the first version, but I suppose that the gravity of that observation, the full reality had not sunk in. I guess I'm thick-skulled, or my pride was overpowering my reason.

In either case... the realization of the inherent truth of these statements lead to me reevaluating the drawing that I've been working on for three years now. Based on that, I tried to remake the work as a single piece, and not a collection of 9 or 18 or however many individual parts that could be subdivided again into 7-10 individual characters put together in a collage format.

I also decided that since it's going to take me some months yet to get this hashed out, I should post a live WIP. Obviously, I've gotten a lot further than than day 1 with the first image, but for the next few months, the featured image will grow every day until it's completion.

The WIP image is 25% the size of the full work, for everyone's sake.
