This page incorporates many experiments that I believe come together to create a satisfying final image that tells a fun piece of the ongoing story. Of course, I’ll look at it again in the morning and most likely completely change my mind.
I’d love to go into more detail, and hopefully I will have the chance, but I’ve gotta work the graveyard shift this week just to get the next page posted before taking off for Christmas, so pray with me for some downtime at work. 🙂
Also, check this point of the Rice Boy story for a better look at The Prince and his Grand Vizier.
