Art Notes

Jane and Marcel are in matching outfits, a nod to their equal partnership.

She has a whip at her side, which she was known to carry around mostly to prevent people from running off with her archaeological finds.

In the background, as comic relief, are three helper guys, all virtually identical with different color schemes, much like Huey, Dewey, and Louie. One isĀ refusing to work, andĀ another is threatening him with a trowel.

The camel is helping excavate the Lion Frieze of Susa – that’s actually what it looked like.

In the background you can see a tent city for all the people helping them.

If you were a Patreon backer,
you'd be seeing some cool stuff right here.

There's alternate versions, reference imagery, and timelapse videos for everything on here. But it's not too late - you can still become a backer! If you already are one, you can log in here!
