took me ages to get the others to come and dance with the fireflies; you could not see them from a distance

I started out with the idea that I wanted to do a kabuki-style mask. However, with most of my ideas, they begin in one direction then end up thirty galaxies away. The red markings went through many different design changes, including color changes from red to yellow to dark green/blue. Keeping with the kabuki theme, I went back to the red.

Idea for a winter set. The antlers are those of a reindeer (caribou) and the pelt was inspired by a ptarmigan, but it turns out deer will sometimes have piebald coloration like that anyway.

I drew this back when the TEF forums were brainstorming for Halloween. I've always been drawn to the idea of skulls with their jaws held on with string.

Also, exposed windpipes give me the heebie-jeebies, so I drew that in, too. I'm excited to see that the skull mask that was eventually used in the game now has a dangly windpipe. XB
