I particularly liked the border... I adore doing those dreamy/surreal story-telling panels. There was a final illustration about the same configuration as the one above, but it gave away too much of the story, as I recall, and they decided not to run it. Reminder to anyone looking into freelance illustrating - don't give away endings! Editors hate that, and you can end up wasting a lot of time on the cool moment in the tale, just to find out that - doh! - you were spending time on the wrong thing entirely. Cardinal rule! Don't give away the ending! Even if that is the coolest, most awesomely visual moment of the story...
