On an art historical note, this cover is one of the first examples of my “megascribble” technique being done in color. (Okay, it’s a terrible name, but it involves endless scribbly bits, so I didn’t know what else to call it.)
Cover for Chapter 5

It looks a lot like the rocks in that lost baby elephant painting. Which is one of my favourites, btw.
Nice chapter title; is the Redwall reference intentional?
I realy do like that drawing technique, scribble or not its genius
The time has come, the statue said, to talk of many facts, of holes and gods and flying rats, of warriors and wombats.
Okay so the rhythm is off and so is the rhyme, but I’m not Lewis Carroll.
I see traces of Van Gogh in the megascribble style XD
…it goes mad, cuts off its own earlobe, and gives it to a prostitute?
It was a good effort, Lemming. 🙂
>”The time has come, the statue said, to talk of many facts, of holes and gods and flying rats, of warriors and wombats.”
I don’t know the original, but it would probably sound better like this:
The time has come, the statue said, to talk of many facts,
of holes and gods and flying rats, of warriors and of wombats.
ALL HAIL THE MEGASCRIBBLE
@ Lemming: It’s alright: neither was he.
Seriously. In the UK we have a thing: if a famous historical figure lived somewhere, we put up a little blue plaque on the house saying so.
I was born in Guildford. There is a very nice old Victorian house, with a little blue plaque saying “here lived Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, writer”
If i had a penny for every time one said “Who?” I’d …very nearly have enough for a -half-pint of shandy. Provided we were in wetherspoons. You’d think the bronze statue in the park near by of a little girl walking though a looking glass would be a clue…
Oh, but people keep forgetting the precious looking glass, and they mix up the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen and they don’t know that the Unicorn and the Lion are even there, and they think the flowers are somewhere in the middle of the Adventures and not at the beginning of Looking Glass at all…
Saying that Carroll wasn’t Carroll, though, I’m not sure I agree with. “Just because you made it up, doesn’t mean it isn’t real.” (Or my favourite; “There is no dreaming without waking. The Nightmares aren’t real until you make them up.”) But he was Dodgson as well, and Dodgson was Carroll, and they both were themselves as individuals as well… I dunno. It’s like saying Shakespeare doesn’t exist, just because he probably was more than one person. I think it errs with something in my mentality.
But my mentality is scewed on a little strangely, so I might not be the best person to talk about it with…
