Celtic rat knot that might function as a tattoo someday.

It's still a bit rough because I had to finish it with my laptop's mouse since my rats have effectively destroyed my tablet...
Advanced critique encouraged- I've never done anything remotely knotwork related, and I know it has its flaws.

Please don't use this for anything without my permission :<

Do I look too deeply into things? Maybe it's you that can only see the surface...

A lot of patience =P
I also referenced the Book of Kells for inspiration.

Looks really good. If you want some critique, I would like to see you do some more knotwork in the hindleg instead of that hook-looking thing. Other than that I think it works great.

It looks like a gnu. It smells like a gnu. However it's all to hell!

I thought about that, but I figured it would look too complicated. As it is, I've had a couple of people tell me that the torso knot made the design overly busy.
Thanks for the input, I'll give it a shot :>
