Okay, this looked like a fantastic idea in my head, very cool and stuff. Unfortunately, reality has a way of slapping me in the face when I try to take to paper what I have in my mind. I've been trying to convince myself to go and vectorize it because it will look better if I make the lines less wonky and add some effects, but the thing is that I don't want to work with the computer on this. I'm fed up with working with the computer, I want to get my hands dirty, dammit. So here's a negative line Hua Cheng. The background is actually a wet cyanotype that I messed up with sodium carbonate, because why not (I love the color and I had some old cyanotype solution mixed that I had to throw away anyway), the black is Chinese ink and the lines are actually silver gel pen that looks white because it's really hard to take pics of silver ink, especially of flat objetcs.
And here's a closeup because, again, why not. I might try to colour it (God knows how), I'll keep you posted.
