Thanks for the support, @artzone! This is very valuable for me

Привет! Это вы сами нарисовали такую красоту ?

Привет! Насчёт красоты неуверен, но таки да, там внизу чтото около десяка уже таких.

Excellent work! Both in the technical aspect, with an amazing style and clear black & white details in glorious cross-hatch -- and in the conceptual aspect: the map of the earth is amazing, it reminds me of ancient maps and looks like an astrolabe; the zodiac signs are a fine touch, they also contain wisdom, and can be used as paradigm to explain situations and again information, just like the tarot; and the hebrew letters are a nice reference to the tree of life, another paradigm for divination and explanation of situations.

You combined three major occult paradigms (tarot, astrology and kabalah) in one picture, very fitting for The World card. Not to mention the symbols in the background, that are similar to the angelic writing, Dr Dee's Enochian. So many occult references, I am totally satisfied with this card, it's great! :)

PS: Oykumena is coming from "Οικουμένη," a greek word meaning "The Whole Known World."

I'm very glad that you liked it. Honestly did not even think niochem like
(I try to keep my head free when drawing), the picture turns out itself,
like automatic writing.

Wooah, these miniatures are sublime. Great use of the tone and the symbols.

Thank you for your mark! Come still soon will be the continuation of the series

You're welcome. Shame this post doesn't get more attention! ;)

Remotely resembling the Azimuthal map, but dude you and your skills... I am speechless every time I visit.
I really want you to get big, you are SO due for major success on this platform. We will get you there, just keep doing your magic <3

Thank you for your support, very glad that you like my work.
I am embarrassed. I promise to try, I really want to make the whole project.

hehe you feel uncomfortable getting compliments for your work huh? that's ok.
I really mean it though. Take your time, and keep doing your thing. It's more than enough!

Not so that it is uncomfortable, unusual.
To throw it is already late third of the first series is done.

Ye I see.
We are actually in need of some artwork right now for a curation group. Would you at all be interested in drawing something on request? The curation thing will be called "the deadpost initiative" and we would need some artwork pertaining to "Steemit Zombies" - meaning resurrecting old posts that have not gotten much attention, so that more people see them.
Ideally the artwork would show some kind of zombie that is being resurrected, the zombie being the old undervalued post.
I am asking Steemit artists right now, but you are the first that came to mind. Is that something you would at all be interested in?

Much love dude!

If you are not scared of my very little knowledge of the language (I'll try to find an assistant),
and do not draw very quickly, then I think this can be a very interesting experience.

There is no special need or pressure my friend. The project is in the planning stages now and if you decide to try something we can include it whenever you feel you want to share your result.
I will get you all the information you need and help you understand the idea, and the art is really all up to you.

We would naturally mention you in the posts as the artists of the drawing, so you will get a lot of eyes for your work. Which seems like win-win situation.

I will get back to you in a little bit with a good text that tells you exactly what this all means.
For now: thank you for your reply and considering this experiment.

Great! Then I'm slowly waiting.
