Help me Dr Zaius - Ten Ton Sketch Challenge - Planet of the apes

Because I'm lazy ... and know my limitations I thought it would much easier to draw the Simpsons "Planet of the apes " musical version of PotA for this weeks ten ton sketch challenge.
However it's not quite as simple as it appears. In fact a bit of a struggle to try and get the look right, and the inks flat enough. I emerge from this exercise with a renewed appreciation of the Simpsons animation team.
Anyway...
To recap the Ten ton rules mean NO DIGITAL manipulation.

So sketched with 0.5mm pentel P205 2B retractable pencil on A4 Deleter comic book paper (which is rubbish at holding watercolour ink)


Inked with 0.3mm and 0.5mm Micron pigment markers and COPIC CIAO brush tip pens...



Coloured with Dr Martens watercolour inks, highlights and lowlights with TRIA pantone markers and PITT pastel white pencil ...



and the real thing:

Ten Ton Saga Scanned

Scanning still seems to beat photos for most drawn stuff.

Ten Ton Saga

Ten Ton Sketch Challenge this week is Saga. I think I've read one saga comic, and it seemed a little confusing- Lots of people with televisions for heads and rams horns.
One little fellow is quite appealing though: "Ghüs"  and his Walrus…

So ready for Tuesday, here's a quick "RoadWarrior"

Mighty Cthulhu

I think the latest version of Mountain Lion is playing games with my scanner. It takes some "rubber chicken" magic to get it working, plug, unplug, press copy button etc.
I must spend a bit of time to work out what the problem is or I'm sure it'll bite me on the bum at a time of urgency.
Annnnnnyway. Here's the scan of the ten ton sketch challenge entry.
