Inktober day 17 - Contraption (Hex from Discworld)
a day ago by Nighed to c/inktober
why do I try complicated things.......
I don't know how to do things in the background, should have planned it out more (or kept it simpler?)
Hex is the Unseen Universities thinking engine, it runs on ants, is powered by a waterwheel covered in male sheep skulls, and stops working if you don't feed the mouse cheese.
GNU Terry Pratchett
I haven't read a whole lot of the Discworld series as of yet so I haven't actually come across Hex but you get an upvote for doing it anyway <3 Discworld is great.
