The Ramblin' Mushroom here does not factor into the story, so he has not been brought to full attention. This technique also lets me populate the Forest with other creatures without stuffing them down someone's throat. It shows that other stories are unfolding all around this one, and a kid can extrapolate the stories themselves. I think this benefits a story that otherwise directs you from beginning to end.

Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 25	SunshineForest - #26 Oh no! Elobo has jumped the Kangashark!!! I never thought I would draw a panel like this, but I like how it turned out. This is of course the humbling revelation that is such a hallmark of stories like this.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 26	SunshineForest - #27 Lost again, with a lot of dire foreshadowing! I want the situation to have some oomph and tension. Like DQVIII in that respect I guess, ha ha.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 27	SunshineForest - #28 Besides the “Devil Drago” earlier, I was kind of questioning this page. But I decided to keep it dark because I wanted some serious tension. I wanted the Titany to look absolutely vile and threatening. So I went for it over a more cartoony look in this particular page. I want it to be a life-threatening situation for Bushie. I don't have anything against him though, I swear!	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 28	SunshineForest - #29 But in Drago's shadow Titany feels quite small, so the art reflects this. I didn't give Drago the same treatment as Titany on the previous page because I wanted him to retain a degree of purity. Notice that the sun is breaking through the clouds in the background.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 29	SunshineForest - #30 The clouds are dissipating now, and I actually call attention to it in the text. This is Bushie's apology.	7/16/09
