      Aww, thank you! :D I’m really a terrible ‘ditherer’ when I work, but it’s far less apparent when all that fastidious deliberation is edited and squished into a few minutes. ;)
      The fate of this pic is (at the moment) as mysterious as his own stories ~ but now I’d like to do more like this (including Nikola Tesla and HP Lovecraft), so we shall see! :)
