I understand what you are saying about getting the sense of imprisonment working off of others' work, but I also love the variation option because it gives you the ability to do anything you want with it, regardless of the artist's initial vision. I notice my favorite works are ones that I had absolutely no plan for what I was making, and lots of people tend to think I've intentionally implanted motifs to be interpreted.

I don't want to see other people trying to finish something I started, rather I'd like to give anyone interested free templates to create their own visions out of. I love the digital tools specifically because you can edit anything you want without ruining it, thanks to the layer functions. I really hope this takes off and spawns a couple variations.

Oh, and thanks for the support! It was kind of tricky getting the pacing to work between layers, and I hope my commentary throughout wasn't confusing or too childish. And thanks also for complimenting my linework... I made a point to only use the pencil tool on 1pt, and I wasn't sure I liked all the shading.

I really hope other people pick up on this... The selection of variable submissions available could definitely be more expansive. Please do take a crack at it if/when you get time! (and hey, maybe try a variation or two some time?)

Thank you, I tried to make it entertaining if nothing else, I'm glad that I succeeded in your case!
