I pulled this one out of my head while waiting in the lobby for my car to be repaired.  (Sketching in public is always a bit odd, and gets you some comments and stares!).

I had in the back of my mind something Bernie Wrightson-ish --- trying to get that hunched-over, knuckle-dragging, pose I mentally associate with him and early EC horror comics.

Also, I had been camping recently sketching trees...so I got into all the twists and turns.

Not sure how to finish it, or even if I will.  I'm flaky with art that way since it's all just for fun. :)

Thank you Joe!  I was trying to get some depth using a darker pencil for the foreground shadows, and leaving the background light.  That's my big artistic insight at the moment: two pencils. :P

I can't even imagine how to ink it.  I totally lack the hatch-density control.  It's almost like some sort of digital quantization process, and I lack the transcoder.
