Jungle Explorer


This is a conceptual image of my Halloween costume this year. Sir Bartholomew Cottonbottom the Seventh. Famous Jungle Explorer. Thanks for the idea Dad. I did this up quick tonight and I painted another picture of a girl for no other reason than that I wanted to, but it is a little too big to scan, so I'll have to take a photo of that.

MattyMatt: Thanks I'm glad you like this sketch.

Khadijah: I'm afraid I'm no expert on jungle explorers. I just drew what I thought one would look like.

Here are a couple of links to famous Victorian explorers, but most were trying for North or South America. Though South America does have jungles.
