From a sketch that took an hour or two to a color pic, now Leana poses in her Mud Scout uniform for a 'clean shot' before she gets down to the business of 'venturing forth onto grounds of questionable solidity" with the rest of her troop--once I finish their 'class pictures', that is. Here, she's holding her Mud Scout Handbook, which appears to be turned to a page describing a sticky situation. Her situation might become sticky as well if she tries to put her weight on that mound that she's starting to sink into. Which she probably will--that's what Mud Scouts do. But that will have to wait awhile, as I still have four more recruits as of this writing to draw up, and holding this level of quality is taking more time than I thought. Unless y'all have no problem with me superimposing them on this particular backdrop and/ or the 'CBobcattie' one, since the way these two are composed I can easily place another character in the same spot and make a new pic of it.

Technical:
Mimicking the style of previous pics in this series, I tried a slightly different tactic with the backdrop. I only inked the character herself. The rest of the background that you can see in the pencils was digitally traced from the scan, into various objects that I could layer and reposition at will. Thus this pic in it's native Picture Publisher format weighs in at 141 megaybtes, with 45 layers of objects. Original concept by  preppymarshmousee
