Spoilers from "Under the Dome"!

Eric "Rusty" Everett and...

...the Leatherheads!

Then, in that darkness, faces arose.​

I had so much trouble drawing the Leatherheads... Here is a discarded approach:

And you can see the entire process here:

Rusty Everett and the Leatherheads

I like your leatherheads I had a hard time visualizing them when I read UTD. I ended up thinking their appearance might be similar to an origami fortune teller, which is sorta kinda how you've illustrated them

Cool! Great minds, you know.

But seriously, in my mind I can visualize them in so many different ways, but I cannot draw any of them... I can see them as changing all the time, as if our minds could not lock into any stable way of interpreting what it is "seeing". Lots of lines (of energy, perhaps) coming out from everywhere, as a diagram of a magnetic field. Perhaps even as a simple cylinder with two diamonds at the side. When we are told it hurts to see those sort of creatures (I dunno if N. or It had something like that), I think it is because our minds are not made to understand higher dimensions.

One way of getting that may be that each character sees them as something different, and the similarities only appear when they compare observations. I was thinking of doing Norrie's version of this pic, and to have her see them as actual (human-like) kids. That way the goggles and the hats would be more evident (she was the one who had less trouble describing them, and she said "hats" instead of the "helmet-shape" Rusty saw). Even though Rusty had thought about kids when he saw them, she is the one who actually said (out loud) they were kids without any hesitation.

I don't remember where I saw the following idea. It could have been on these boards, or on someone else's fan art, but I really liked it (I did some searches yesterday to see if the idea came from any official source, but I could not find anything). That idea has the leatherheads have some ant-like heads. I can totally see that because of the shape an ant's head has, as it can be interpreted as these geometric solids. Plus, there is the whole human-ant relationship present, too.

And now you see why I had such a hard time coming up with something to represent them...

I'm amazed you even know the word.​

The world may have moved on, but people can still be a-holes...

I know Roland may have been not very kind at times, like when he did that thing in "The Gunslinger". But back then at least it was to follow his life's goal, and (no matter what his motivations) it may help save reality. But it seems he can be a selfish brat. Or he could, back when he was still a brat. I hope he learns his lessons.

I may, even now (at 37), be quick to judge, even when I do not have all the facts. But I try my best not to be a hypocrite. The way he judged this person after what he himself had done (and he was still 14) is so self-righteous and despicable.

And I love him for it. I already knew he was far from perfect. Finding out exactly how childish our hero can be is refreshing.

Could the image from the post above be replaced with the one from this post, please?

I added the "It" logo, which I forgot on the previous one.

Thank you.

Perfect! Thank you.

And thanks for the comment, too. I am glad you liked the pic.

Oh. I wish I could draw and color like THAT.

But if you did, who would do what you do? Nice work you have there!
