I was digging through an old scrapbook and came across this bristol board with an old sketch of Dalton on it:

old Dalton sketch

Judging from the dates of the last stuff thrown into the scrapbook and the style of the drawing, I’m guessing it’s from 2005 or maybe even 2004, early in Dalton’s development as a character. Since I drew it on bristol board, I clearly intended to finish, ink, and probably watercolor it like a Victorian children’s book illustration. In fact, I think within the character’s “canon,” that’s what this was intended to be: a scene from a picture book he appeared in.
