Beth's penultimate expression of "you die now," fabled but seldom seen.

A sketch for the next installment of Bristled, which is coming some time this week. It just keeps growing larger and more complicated, sort of like the Blob. I thought I'd have it finished yesterday, then today, but nope. Still in the sketch and layout phase. Tomorrow will be inking and hopefully shading.

You can tell that I spent a long time just trying to get the hand position right, what with all the erasing that is clearly evident. It's still not quite what I want here, but the hand on the lower right is what I'm going with in the final. Sort of that Darth Vader, "I find your lack of faith disturbing" position.

But stay tuned, this is proving to be one of the more insightful and poignant episodes of Bristled that I have attempted.

Poignant is a strange word.
