After a prolonged break from it, getting back into the mode of working on my Voynich has been difficult at best - partly because of other distraction that are creeping into my brain - but mostly because I’m getting beyond the plant section and into the astrology section, which is so very full of so very many tiny clothed and unclothed people.
If I’ve counted them correctly, there are 536 of them, and I’ve drawn only 79 to date; and drawn them smaller as the original figures essentially had no necks, and giving them necks makes every other part proportionally smaller to fit into the same space.
Tiny neckless nude ladies in tubes.
And a few gentleman as well.
I have overall been impressed by the expressions on all of the original faces though. Some look bored, some look shocked, others joyful, pensive, or confused.
What I have remaining: 2 text pages, 19 plant pages, 19 nymph pages, 21 astrological pages, and the 16 “pharma” pages. 77 pages left out of the 228 page text. I have two weeks off of work around the end of the year and I’m tempted to take one of them and just dive in and see how much of this I can knock out - although I know the pharma pages are going to be the hardest of all of them, right after all of these tiny people - one of my weak points in art - because of my desire to actually match the plants in that section to the plants in the rest of the book. But first I have to get through all of these tiny women in tubes and barrels and splashing in pools or green liquid.
