The cosmic comparison of E. Velinska is now over a decade old, and was well-received by many at the time, starting with Nick Pelling. Although her information has been taken down, the comparison is still worthy of examination.
The VMs artist's use of visual trickery is provable in White Aries because the evidence is contained within the illustration. In the cosmic comparison the evidence of trickery is external. The evidence is in the degree of visual dissimilarity when contrasted with the numerous points of structural similarity.
The VMs cosmos is centered on an inverted T-O Earth, surrounded by stars and enclosed in a cosmic boundary. This is a very uncommon structure when compared to the standard structure of the time with its rings of elements, planets and heavens.
In BNF Fr. 565, the three parts of the Earth are represented pictorially. In the VMs the pictures are absent and words have been used instead. Ostensibly, this is a code shift - providing the same information but using a different method of communication. This is the height of visual trickery, because there is no way for appearance to retain any similarity, while the object represented is still the same object whatever its path of derivation.
In addition, the 43 undulations of the BNF Fr. 565 cosmic boundary compare with the 43 ambiguous (tricky) undulations of the nebuly line that forms the cosmic boundary of the VMs. Again the VMs cosmos (interior) presents the same structural information, but with a maximum amount of visual diversity. That seems highy suggestive of visual trickery - not provable here, but previously demonstrated elsewhere.
