sorry for the bad photo – i haven’t been able to find a place with a big enough scanner for my work in Sydney – the damn place is so big you can’t find anything you’re looking for.
Reference picture was by the wonderful mehmet turgut on deviantART – http://mehmeturgut.deviantart.com/ – who very kindly allowed me to draw this, though it was so long ago that i asked it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s forgotten. Thank you anyway!
