Page 19 Again, with Tupa

Time ran out today before I could finish painting Tupa Moai. I’ll get to him tomorrow. Painting waterfalls is hard. I’ll give that another go. And the water isn’t quite the right color. Details, details, details!
Picture #26, Introducing Bernie the Buddhist Dachsund
/Bernie the Buddhist Dachsund owns the house with the deadly chimney. In this picture, he’s startled when Jimmy and Buddy start yelling for help inside the old stove. I spent lots of time on Bernie’s ears, but I’m not happy with them. He looks like a rabbit. Tomorrow I’ll make it obvious he’s a dog. I’ll redo the ears, work on the mouth, and shift his head to a 3/4 view. I’ll give him some canine teeth, too. I think I’ll decorate Bernie’s house a little, perhaps with a nice Persian carpet and some bookshelves to hold his many books.
Bernie the Buddhist Dachsund is my favorite Deadbeat Club character. I thought it would be fun to bring him into the world of the Steller’s Jays, perhaps as a regular character in future stories.
Bernie is getting a makeover tomorrow!
