    Wow, this is amazing. I had to do a small ink image of an object for school, also using dots; it made me go crazy. But this image is so much bigger and more detailed, so it’s amazing you’re still sane. :P
    Really great work! So detailed! Love the high contrast between the dark and light parts.
