hahahaha yeah, some zooming was good to go, I made it to be seen at a 2x zoom. And, ouf, that's really a disgusting book, but it's a great one for the same reason!
 

I loved the use of colour!

 haha, yes, I think a bigger canvas can cut out the feeling of that "abstract" that slipped out :D tnx!

 Reaaally, I didn't see that it has a white backgorund; I thought that it was transparent :P I'll fix it soon, thanks to the warning

Number 8  I dunno, the bordeaux palette makes it as sweet as depressing and deep! (Loved all of them, btw!)

Simply. Avant. Garde. 5/5 

 haha, thanks, man! Glad you liked the poem - it's my first time with Pixel art, althought it's not my debut at poetry! :D And, yes, the theme itself, a gemstone color, can easily be related to any mid-aged history!
