This monster, coming at nearly the vanishing point, is very large indeed
Some other small Seth insider things he put into this picture include:
The billboard on the upper right is a picture of a baby, with the kanji for Seth's own son's name, and a little heart.
There is a sign on the top of a building in the left middle of this picture that says セス. That is SeSu, which is how they write Seth in Japanese.
On the lower left there is another billboard; this one says Mister Banana (Seth's favorite fruit).
This drawing does not exist in this form anymore. Seth scanned the pencil drawing and sent it to me in an e-mail, and then inked it. Looking at the corresponding page in the comic book, it seems exactly the same. His pencils were precise and complete.

Brilliant. I love to see the process of how the artist goes about getting the specific image down; ruler lines, rough pencils behind the tighter rendering, etc.
I would have bet that Seth’s pencil were very, very tight, because the final image is so, so (so, soooooo) clean, and then his inks are essentially just tracing over his pencils with the occasional decision of line weight. A master at work.
Thanks for the insider tips to the Japanese and banana secrets.
I’ve got a new ‘desktop background’ now.
