My goal with the facial expression was to match Eli's overall emotional state at the start of the novel: lonely and indifferent. He might not know what Halloween is, at least not in 1981, since it only became popular in Sweden in the '90s. Of course, it's plausible or even likely that he's seen it being celebrated in other countries he's been in over the centuries.cmfireflies wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 11:13 pmWell, I like this one Siggdalos.

Larry and Lacke turned out good, I think. The others, not particularly.LTROI, Friday 23 October wrote:Larry’s lined, hollowed-out face and a pair of enormous ears that stick straight out from his head make him look like a friendly but starving elephant.

Because of his style, Morgan has been given features of the young Elvis. Big sideburns and a ‘Hunka-hunka-burnin-looooove, baby’ expression. The head is perched on a small body holding a guitar, in Elvis pose. Morgan is more pleased with this picture than he wants to admit.
Lacke mostly looks worried. Here the eyes have been enlarged and given an intensified expression of suffering. He has a cigarette in his mouth and its smoke has gathered into a rain cloud above his head.
Virginia is the only one who appears in full body. In an evening gown, shining like a star in her sparkling sequins, posed with outstretched arms surrounded by a flock of pigs gazing at her in bewilderment.
