Halloween Lantern Panels

This is a closeup of the panels I made for my Halloween lantern. They came out pretty well, I think. I'm especially glad because I was afraid I wasn't going to finish in time- I got really sick last week and didn't feel up to crafting anything- but! I was able to knock out the remaining panels and assemble the lantern in the last three days, so everything worked out.

Check my gallery for pictures of the completed lantern and the tutorials on how to make your own lantern!

Brief descriptions/ fun facts:
1. Owl/Ghost and Tree- The first and last panels I did, respectively, and my favorite of the bunch.

2. Cat, Mouse, and Corn/ Kakashi of the Cornfield- third and seventh panels. I like the bottom one, but the cat face came out a bit wonky. Corn looks pretty good, though!

3. Happy Halloween/Halloweeny stuff- ...Yes, I realize that the 'a's and the 'y' are backwards. I was suffering from severe cold/ cold medicine issues, and didn't realize it until I was halfway through cutting out the letters. Guess who didn't feel like going back and redrawing everything? I like it anyway. And check out my wicked spider-web! I'm tempted to do a few more panels/pictures of just spiderwebbing, because it came out very cool looking.

4. Spooky Tree scene (top and bottom panel scene)- Not much to say about this one, I like the gnarly effects of the lines on the trees.
