Yes to your question.
I have a friend that used to paint charts with visual images, the night sky, the sun illuminating half the chart, landscapes, correspondence colours etc. ... there is a thread here somewhere
but you want grayscale so : Here is another idea. You chart, aligned as described above but show below the horizon as well. That is; a circular glyph with the horizon through it. I am not sure of your birth time, but say you were born at midnight, so top of design is a star chart with your MH at top and there is an horizon line through it, so the top of your chart is black with the stars and planets in white (visible in the night) and the bottom is white (day) with the stars and planets (and sun) in black (invisible in the day). Or if you were born at dawn ; sun at Asc and line running vertical through chart with night sky on the left ... get it? (Its okay folks we are in the southern hemisphere
). Urrgh! Wish I could draw it for you , that might make more sense.
Sort of an asto yin and yang with black white counter-change
I drew up some charts on matt black art paper with a silver pen and appropriate colour coloured sign symbols and aspect lines and stuck little cut-out photographs of the planets in natal positions, the outer ring had the constellation patterns with stars as dots with lines joining to make a basic 'real view' shape in silver pen - looked really cool!
I have inspired myself! I am going to work on a grey scale ying-yang style chart.
