at this point i'll call it quits if i'm happy with it, or, as in this case, i'll print it out on bristol and paint over it with black and white acrylic to flesh it out more.  then i scan it all back in, hit it with a slight gaussian blur to eliminate any moire pattern from the print, maybe overlay some more texture and play with the contrast.  so, after 13 hours i have half a cartoon, which the mountain x will tell me is too offensive to run because i guess they think their readers are a bunch of sensitive 9 year olds who need to be protected from a cartoon.(i don't think that so i've run the unedited version above, the version that ran should be burned clean).  anyway, i'll arrange the different elements at 8.5"x5", letter it, and collect my 30 bucks.
