NOTES
original dandelion city sketch.I imagine it's a lot like a Girl's Last Tour situation where the city is layered over itself many times.

huge huge fan of the color work on this one. i'm always very impressed by painterly styles and the shading is really well done. i really love how the feeling of bark comes through so strongly, especially in the splintered wood around the mouth.
explanation of the layers and the pillars between them, plus dendelion aging. i think instead of genders the age of the dandelion denotes a gender-like role. an individual has two stages of adulthood, and only gets full "recognition" after the second (seed head developing fully)
I always imagined that there were/would be some kind of 'monster' to explain the ruin of the cities - or at least to make it less boring. whenever i see a downed conifer in the woods i always think they look like big spiky monster-snakes, so i figured it would fit pretty well in the dandelion world. i like how the branches turned out on this one :]
