Roughly 85% the size of the original document, this MOC illustrates the 13 stripes of the nation’s flag being etched into the parchment and leaving a trail of dripping red blood. The process of methodical destruction is led by an orange separator, which represents an orange separator, and it is aided by a number of red crooks (AKA crowbars), which represent red crooks. To the left are some shrugging blue crooks, which represent shrugging blue crooks to the left. The scale and placement of text and lack of text is as accurate as possible to the actual handwriting on the document.

    Wow, this is incredible work

    I don’t even have words for the amount of thought, vision, creativity and skill this must have taken.

    It is excellent art if this is yours OP it could/should take its rightful place in any gallery.

      Thank you! I’m incredibly flattered. It is indeed mine. I was thinking just today of how to go about finding a proper gallery for this.

      Side note: Does anybody know why the additional photos are in lower resolution or how to upload them in a way that retains their original resolution?

        The best way to do that would probably be hosting the images externally and then embedding them (put the image’s direct web adress in the link field for the post). I know a lot of people here use catbox.moe, or imgchest.com. imgur is also an option

        Your instance may compress images to make hosting everything more affordable, since instances are run on donations

        To embed an image in the body of the post use this formatting: ![](ImageAddressGoesHere.jpg)

        Hopefully that shows corectly. If further info would be helpful feel free to ask :) I’m not an expert on anything but I’m happy to try and help

          I was able to post the images on a new community on my host instance. It looks like there is ultimately always going to be some degradation of image quality if I use my instance as the host, but this workaround is a improvement over the images being posted onto the main post directly. Thanks for the help!

    This is beautiful. I like your strange little crowbar man in the last pic, what’s his deal?

      Thank you! He’s shrugging apathetically because he thinks that’s the most effective thing he can do in response to what’s going on next to him.
