9 years of work on and off, with a frustrating/disappointing 5 year shelving in the middle due to some pain/muscle problems, is finally complete and I am so happy

    This is great, thanks for posting! Hope those pain/muscle problems stay gone for good.

      I’ve loved Hokusai’s work since I fell in love with the calming and yet terrifying beauty and detail of the great wave of Kanagawa at a university poster sale. This idea came to me after finally having to throw that print out from the wear and tear of the years;some time after I first made the ultros perler, but before I finished the rest.

      I have a similar hokusai (edit: looking it up the painting I’m thinking of is a Hiroshige) meets legend of Zelda idea I’ve prototyped but it’s still missing something I’ve yet to figure out. Hopefully I’ll figure out out now that I can stop thinking about this one being incomplete 😅

      thanks! I’m quite happy to hear that other people enjoyed my idea and how it came out now that I’ve actually gotten it finished
