I don't think the various parts of the VMS are all from the same source. Bits from here and there.
And I think drawing skill (or lack of it) has a lot to do with how it has been drawn. Obfuscation might be another reason. It doesn't have to be just one reason.
You could be right, especially if Agnus dei is indeed referenced. If more than one reference is made within the diagram, then the lines blur all the more.
I agree that different parts of the vms likely came from different sources, or i guess it could be possible that they were copies of various origins of things already gathered together in a single source.
You are right there doesn't have to be a single reason for how it has been drawn. I was just trying to make the point that it could have turned out exactly as they wanted, that it is possible it wasn't a bad drawing of what they were going after. it really depends on what that was, kind of hard to judge if it is a good drawing of something without knowing for sure what it represents. If they were trying to be ambiguous in its representation, then great job. If it is supposed to be unambiguously an armadillo, then not so good, unless it is a copy of a bad drawing of an armadillo, then it might be a great job again, if it looks just like the original drawing that we just haven't seen. It is hard for me to agree to there being a lack of skill without knowing more about what it truly represents, and from what perspective it is being portrayed, ie copy of something drawn before that they had in front of them, a reference to a collection of similar imagery seen over time, an impression of a true object, or a visualization of an idea about something that may not have been represented exactly in that way before.
