Description
Drawn in November last year, these opening panels of “Burning At Baiame Cave” actually took far longer than normal to ‘get right’ despite depicting a straightforward ‘talky’ scene. The main problem was I initially drew the excavation’s moneyman, later revealed to be called Langloh, with a rather large moustache. Having completed these panels I then realised that not only did the character’s facial hair clash with the goatee of Doctor Horton, but that Langloh simply looked plain silly. As a result I redesigned him and then had to replace my earlier drawings of him in the previous seven panels. In addition the first few frames actually use some photographs of the Baiame Cave site in Australia as the background. When the expedition move into the lost cave however, I placed my drawings up against a picture of a crystal cave, in order to try and give the location a more unique appearance and tie-in better with the idea of it being the hidden location of a large gemstone.
