Skeletons never rest, never die.
The one drawing them, unfortunately, has to do both.

Meanwhile, I have started illustrating my next poem.
A little over eight hours invested so far.

The skeleton count has increased by one. The end is not yet in sight.

The number of skeletons is ever-growing.

More skeleton warriors for ISSVERD.
