Myst 3: some more preliminary towers

Here are two more towers that didn't make the cut. He is getting more finished with these; the drawings are polished and signed (though he rarely signed his comic book work). There are a lot of the same elements in the two I am showing here, and you can see that the tusks that dominate the landscape are visible in his drawings. When he finally decided that the tower itself should be built into a giant tusk, then the bells must have started ringing in his brain.

At the bottom is another view of the completed landscape.
