After the helmet of bravery was stuck on Cromwell's head he became the most courageous gorilla ever! Charging into danger, this stoic simian gains even greater strength depending on how heroic he's being at the time! #characterdesign #gorilla

@mallorygrigg Here's a historical fiction crowd celebrating the take-off of Cromwell Dixon's Sky-Cycle. Drawing crowds is challenging... have to keep the key figures that carry the story - then sort of hide all the other figures in obscurity and behind other characters. Draw - draw - draw...
