@ Joe Smith - It was VERY challenging.  The most difficult part was the positioning of the characters.  In hindsight, I could have included additional characters to fill in the gaps in between the characters that are presently on the piece.  In not doing that, I had to fill the gaps with lots of rocks and lines depicting the terrain.  That was terribly time-consuming.

I had not originally planned to make it this big.  I was going to do my typical 22 x 17, double-sized, drawing but, as I was informed of the number of characters I had to draw, I sort of freaked out - I'm no John Byrne! after all - and I started wondering how I was going to make it all fit within the 22 x 17 "frame".  So I chickened out and added another board, making the whole piece bigger, but, at the same time, I had more room to insert all the requested characters.  That soon became a nightmare when I realized how much background I had to draw.

And now, I just found out that it needs to be colored!!  :-(

Hey, guys... is this thread considered work that's in one's sketch book right now, or is acceptable to post older work?

My daughter is an aspiring cartoonist (farther along at 8 years old than I ever was at that age!), and to further inspire her, I pulled out a bunch of work I used to do almost 20+ years ago.  Haven't looked at my own cartooning in probably 10 years or more (the stack of drawings was buried in the bottom of my dresser), but I found some fun genre stuff I might post.

That is, if no one minds that it's art that I drew back in the early- to mid-'90s!
