I keep thinking about the my aye-dunno world/story and so am starting a second part to add on to it, but also want to go back and redo all the pictures to a new style - maybe this one. I did the first part when trying out digital stuff and just wanted something quick to draw. This style I find more pleasant but I fumble on clarity of composition when I try to do it as fast as I did the more simplistic thing as below.

If unclear the main image is a christmas beetle using a ghostgum club to attempt to clobber an octopus hiding in the eucalyptus flowers. not sure how easily it reads as that, I could probably have posed the beetle better (still trying to not sacrifice too much time)

I find my eye wandering too much to make sense if the drawing without your writing to guide me. Maybe if the beetle and octopus had a different pallette vs the flowers. Otherwise I get the same feeling I get when looking at purely abstract art.
