MadDogMike - the Dodge joke hurt my chest from laughing! I think it's gonna be a good-sized ship, it'll have a mast and scurrying sailors. I can't add those now 'cause I'd blur 'em in the process.

hewey - thanks a ton. The idea is that these guys are being blown towards an unknown island by a storm that kicked up while they were exploring - otherwise they'd have to be a bunch of drongos!

LLT - you are in the groove with me, and what a groove it is!

I got back to this Super Deep Jungle pastel and decided it was gonna have a Tiki.

I want the little guy to mostly be suggested. Like hewey says: ATMOSPHERE.

The plants get some attention. The ref pics I took at the outstanding Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati.

The bigass tree in the back really anchors the composition, I think.
