And I've got tons of drawings to go through still. As I examine each page I am reminded (in at least a vague way) of what I was going for and why I drew each each bit, whether I was doodling or had an inspiration in mind. For instance, Coelacanth and The Shining Path were both inspired by Shriekback songs. The Secret Door was an early portal fantasy of mine, about a boy finding a way into a magical land; I wrote of poem about it that never came to a satisfactory conclusion and which must be around here somewhere. Mr. Oakshot looks somewhat like me (an unplanned artifact of the program); also maybe like Thornbriar's more successful brother. Another bear, but not Bear. A design for a falcon-headed god and a winged lion and an urban monster arising from the sewer. But who is that dark and sinister figure coming down the stairs? Old visions breathed into new life.
