This piece was part of the portfolio that eventually got me accepted into preliminary art school earlier this year. It was one of the required pieces, the guidelines being that it had to be about inventing plants, be done in pens and on a scale of a whooping DIN A2 (which is why I was forced to eventually fold it and piece multiple scans togehter for this now).
This piece is also the origin of a new cryptoglyphical writing style in my vocabulary - I wanted to go for something smooth and rounded, without being too similar to Tengwar.
I like it, and it rolls off my pen so nicely and quick.

This reminds me of this one medieval cryptozoological manual that was written in some secret code language. Some historians claimed it a fake, but I thought that it was inspiring no matter whether it was authentic or not.
Hey, one of those plants looks like mandrake. *points*

I've been fascinated with writing and symbols for years now - this special writing style simply evolved out of my own handwriting (with all those heavy descenders) and some of my random scribbling that still seem to echo tamil writing, with which I was especially taken almost a decade ago. ;)
