Damn, I wish I hadn't started this

Here's another page (unfinished) from this cavegirl epic I hope to complete.

But I may spend the rest of my life just getting this one page done, and as you can see, it's not central to the plot, i.e, there are no cavegirls fighting in it.

I would like to post this full-size, but it apparently exceeds the maximum dimensions Picasa will allow. Below is a full-size detail from the art. Of course, 'full-size' is always kind of a foggy concept with digital art, but you get the general idea.

This document currently has 33 layers, and will certainly have at least a dozen more before it's done. I'm currently doing some things with between 50 and a hundred layers.

Sometimes it's better to just suggest the details in the background, instead of committing to hours and hours of detailed drawing. On the other hand, I often like the 'turn off your brain' work of drawing rocks, trees and shrubs better than drawing the fights themselves.

The perspective looks a little off, which is a problem I often have because I tend to inadequately draft my drawings before I start doing details. But I think once the shading and shadows of the figures are in, the perspective will look right.

You'll notice all the girls are young, hot and cavegirlicious, while some of the dudes are kind of old and gnarly. Like me.

I'm just claiming personal privilege here. I don't want to draw old, gnarly women. There actually is an older woman – late forties/early fifties – later in the story, but she's still pretty hot.
