Sketchbook thingies - sketches, even.


I'm getting concerned about the lack of posts on here.  Chris from Raven Madness has kindly sent me the script for the travelling clock you will have met on here, but that doesn't really count.

I'm working on another Avebury reconstruction, but although it should be finished tonite, I can't scan it until tomorrow on account of not having an A3 scanner.  (note:  don't try to scan A3 artwork on an A4 scanner in two bits and then try to join them together.  It'll make you cry.)  It's in colour, but just to whet your appetite, here are sketches of some of the characters in my latest pic.

If you're not sure whether the last thing - the one with four legs - is a 
sheep or a goat, this is entirely appropriate because they were very very 
similar in neolithic times.

Anybody know what the builders of Avebury looked like?


Apparently the inhabitants (or rather, the dead people) in a nearby long barrow had long skulls, high cheekbones, almost Amerindian in appearance.  Archaeologists reckon they were more likely to be dark than Nordic, so here's my first go at an Avebury sort of person.

Anyone recognise him?
