"the king in repose" is that even a word?
"Moon Rider" a little bright and happy-but hey! PNG inspired work can be mysterious and Happy....i guess....
"Outside the Village"
this one mixes and matches a bunch of styles and locales...
sort of a Polynesian Rainbow coalition or sumthin!

A little too bright for my tastes,but someone may smile at it...
I may tint over it with a sepia.....

Decided to draw a scenario where ALL of them arrive at the island before the Polynesians...
or Peruvians....or Lemurians......or.......

so much weird anthropomormism (is that a word?)and mystery!
