Random Scenery 2

This slightly-adorable-yet-creepy thing was sitting next to the lighthouse sculpture. You can see the top of the light in the last drawing, on the bottom right.

Random Scenery 1

So, I just got back from a 3-day vacation at a beach resort with my family. Not terribly exciting; it was very cloudy most of the time. But for some reason I had an urge to go out, sit down and just draw whatever I saw. The urge didn't last for long, lol, but here's the result. Outside our room, I found this sculpture-- it's a tree stump; the top half of it was carved into a lighthouse but the bottom half was left unchanged. I thought it was pretty damn cool.
(Also, I downsized it a bit because it's harder to tell what's going on if you look at it up close. Drawing nature does not come naturally to me.)

IN 3-D!!!

Are your eyes hurting yet? :P
Long story short, I was hard at work on revising Under Stars, and I accidentally did this. :)

US Ch. 2 Pgs. 15.2 and 15.3

So, here are the replacement panels for page 15... wait a fucking minute, did I just draw Kaleem with the wrong uniform on? Goddammit... this chapter is not going quietly into the night. 
The top panel, by the way is a tracing of the first panel on page 1; having a Light Box really helps! :D I was thinking about copy/pasting that panel here digitally, but the original is about an inch too short. So tracing was the only option, really.

Here's the final final FINAL version. ^_^ I'll try to clean up this (and all the other pages) soon, so expect the finished product in... a week? Maybe.

US Ch. 2 Pg. 15.1

Ugh. This page. I'm so glad I can replace panels digitally, otherwise I'd have to start over. 

The top right panel was originally going to be a tracing of Ch. 1 Pg. 40, but then I realized: I went through hell, drawing all those tiny soldiers, and they still looked like crap. I'm never doing that again. But I wasn't sure what I was going to put in that panel, so I thought "hey, I'll come back to it later." 

The bottom right panel, well... I realized halfway through it that it was getting too smudged to work with, and that I would rather draw Kaleem with his jacket half on rather than slung over his shoulder. Much easier that way. :P 

US Ch. 2 Pg. 14

So... many... smudges...
Digitally cleaning this page is gonna be a bitch.
