Went home for lunch to finish another cover rough for my new friends in Illinois. Also laid in another couple characters in the campfire sequence. Before I show it to you, here's an opinion on the earlier version I posted here:
Campfire Critique
"The figures are nicely spaced in the scene but the fire is far too big and too bright. No cowboy in his right mind would build a fire that large, takes too much fuel to keep it going and you can't sit near it. As for bright, it's more like a railroad track fuse burning in the ties, to warn oncoming freights to slow down. I love your females, when you do them so well why bother with males?"

Okay, good points, but they are soldiers, not cowboys. Ha. Well, at lunch today I tried to tone down both the fire and diminish the railroad track fuse effect (funny description and somewhat accurate to boot). Still not enough Apaches around the campfire, but I really like the guy, to the left, cleaning his rifle:
Meanwhile, here's a sneak peek at the ad that will run in the May issue, teasing the Mickey Free Top Secret Project:
Robert Ray and I built it. Pretty sweet if I do say so myself.
