Sketch from one of our readers...

A fan of the blog sends in a sketch of Miss Tilly of Typhoon Lagoon.
According to Disney legend...
"A hapless shrimp boat, Miss Tilly, journeying from Safen Sound, Florida, found itself swept up by the twisting tides of the fierce typhoon. The storm's force propelled the boat onto the peak of the volcanic mountain, Mount Mayday.
To this day Miss Tilly, the shrimp boat, still sits—impaled and precariously perched. Every half hour, the boat's whistle blows and the volcano attempts to dislodge its burden by bursting, causing an enormous geyser of water to shoot skyward."
I recommend people experience Disney's Typhoon Lagoon at least once. It's great park as water parks go. Disney's Blizzard Beach too. And Disney's River Country... yeah it's still there... we've got photos. (coming soon).
Concept, River Country

COOL SKETCH. Attending the water parks should never take priority over attending say, The Magic Kingdom or Epcot, but they are really fun. I have a few future concepts I'm developing for the water parks... can't wait to post them. Yes, they include animatronic figures (at least one).
As for River Country (River what???), I can hardly wait for that post. Has the world already forgotten about Disney's first water park?? Not the readers of this blog!
This sketch would be a great one to practice the digital painting techniques from a previous post:
