Hand of glory..?

First, a working sketch for my final layout. If you have any comments, they're very welcome, I've already had some good suggestions today.



HEY so I'm reading The Hundred Days right now and today in life drawing I fandoodled Stephen contemplating his infamous Hand In A Jar - before it went all bad from lack of spirits, of course. If I'm not mistaken, the lesson is do NOT leave spirits lying around in plain sight in a ship, not even in a jar containing a cut-off hand.
I want to make the character construction (what a noggin!) better and clean this up in Photari some day.
