Description
I decided I'd have a go at this.Alright, so this is a work in progress, and its far from finished. The text around the inside of the outer circle is a bunch of Latin proverbs.
Di immortales virtutem approbare, non adhibere debent
We may expect the gods to approve virtue, but not to endow us with it
Di pia facta vident
The gods see virtuous deeds
Deo favente (peccavi)
(I have sinned) with God's favour (The parts in brackets were added from another proverb)
Gaudeamus igitur
So let us rejoice
Each proverb is separated by a hyphen (-), and they are symbolic text going under the assumption that the Human Transmutation is successful, and a living human was created.

I can see how it would work in the way of creating a human. Its a very nice design, to say the least. However, I do see you mentioned it isn't done. Once again, I am glad you point things like that out because if this was the final product, there would be a small problem. I do not know if it is specific enough to create a human. You will need some good symbols, and some more guiding text. Remember, humans are complex beings. While our creation starts off as simple conception, I don't think an array can be that simple. Maybe I'm not seeing something, and I understand that happens, but the way I see it, its almost to simple. But if your a genius alchemist who knows all about the human body, I can see this working... maybe...

Good to see you think the same way I do.
The plan I have for the final version of this array, is to have what you see now, as an inner-array within the much larger array, with this array symbolizing the final steps.

And I mean this one as it is. Im sure as you add more, it will all come together to make much more sense.

i like how you made it look like chalk!
So what inspired you to do this? It makes me think of Full metal alchemist or Alistir Crowley (forgive me if I butchered the spelling)...

I've been doing Alchemy Arrays since the summer time, and I was originally inspired by the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise, but the Alchemy Arrays I make are in the style of traditional Alchemy, which differs on a lot of points from the Alchemy used in FMA.
This is the 19th Circle I've done, when I said "I decided I'd have a go at this" I meant Human Transmutation, since everything I'd done up until now was much simpler.

Might take a while, so I suggest a DevWatch Check out my other works as well if you have time.
