やべぇ!秘密がばれてしまった! 

Cheers, Kenmei. I dunno, there is something about that kanji that makes me want to write it all over again.

方真之人 an honest man

I based this calligraphy on a standard script style developed by the Tang dynasty calligrapher Yan Zenquing (顏真卿), whose writing was greatly admired not for the flawlessness of form, but the fact that it mirrored his upright nature.

Do you take requests Ryuurui? If so would you mind uploading the word 孤独 in cursive style?

It depends. This is not a very uplifting phrase. To be quite honest with you, I am not too keen on writing sad things. Calligraphy ought to sooth mind and recharge your spirit, not to put you down.
It's better to write phrases like 日日是好日

Why would solitude be a negative word? I mean look at the monks, they are alone most of the time, yet have you ever heard of a monk suffering?
Solitude is a source of self-improvement, a state within the one you can think clearer and better.

How is the word 孤独 negative then?

I see, so you mean not loneliness but solitude. In other words, more towards 仙人 than 自殺? Well, I guess that is different then. I will see what I can do.

Here you are, Nameless, 孤独 in cursive script. I used the traditional form of 独, which is 獨.

Saved. Printed. I might even put it in a frame.
Thank you Ryuurui, it's awesome.
