Description
Very rough and off-model doodle of the SG gang engaging in one very European Earth custom. We in England love Eurovision as much as the continent, though it doesn’t love us.

This picture originally did include Stereo, but I was so unhappy with his lineart that I had to crop him out. That turned out to be a good-ish thing, though: season 1 takes place in America, while season 2 takes place in France (as can be seen in the openings), so the continuity here is more concise.

Thanks to the good people at Miss Dream , I’ve been reading a lot a certain manga lately, and I love the way Naoko Takeuchi (and manga in general I guess) uses double-page spreads. I was inspired to experiment with them myself, even though it was hard to actually draw onto the seam, I knew from the get-go it wouldn’t scan well, and the overall effect isn’t right with the Stereo fail at the top cropped out. So why do I want to try it again at least once?

And remember: only using two colours plus the white of the paper to represent a country’s flag is totally ARTSY, not lazy at all.

As a bonus that’s too bad and too old to put in my scraps, here’s a little sketch from two years ago, when Norway won. (Granville, for those who don't know "that other alien show", is known as "the Norwegian boy.")
