I contemplated doing this for my own fun, but I figured the only way to better my abilities would be to actually submit something, if not for serious judging then at least for critique and feedback.

"A Sailor's Journal" is meant to be an excerpt from the private journal of a sailor in "The Queen's Navy". But this particular sailor is an ant. Also, the Queen is an ant. It's all ants.

This journal page will be entitled "Crossing the Chasm", and if I manage to draw it properly using GIMP, B&W colors only, and a mouse (yikes), I'll also include some writeups from the perspective of the sailor-ant.

DISCLAIMER: I can't draw for beans! Please throw out some GIMP tips or tricks if it looks like I'm heading down a slippery slope of frustration.
