Description
(Bug Comic)
You got to see Bryan snoozing late Friday/early Saturday, and now here's Rain back at home that same Saturday morning. The Ellesburg Metro police retrieved Rain's stuff from his hotel (Rain was thrilled at saving a night's lodging, as well as avoiding The Elevator), and they had put him on a cargo plane to Olympia, (his first flight ever-- he was afraid at first to walk around, in case he would tip the plane), and from there the Cascadia State Police drove him home.
So here he is in his own bedroom; no electricity,a fireplace, a straw mattress, and his pet cat, but you can see he's comfortable. He is going to get up in about an hour to get the two house cows ready for milking, so he's going to read instead of sleep, since he's still wound up. Above his head is his "bug whacking" equipment, which gets used just in the summer during bug season; the sword for smallish, dog-sized bugs, a spear for those calf-sized bugs, and the Longbow for the once-a-year, buffalo-sized bug.
"Bob" is the elderly bobcat on the bed. Rain has no idea it's not a regular cat--he found it as a kitten in the woods and brought in in, and his Aunt Marian told him he couldn't keep it, because "it would grow up, bite him, eat the chickens and pee in the laundry." After much argument, Rain's grandfather, who normally doesn't get along with Rain, told Marian that Rain could keep the cat. As for Marian's prediction, she was wrong--Bob has never bitten *anyone*, though he does occasionally eat a chicken (Marian says it saved her having to clean it for him anyway), and Marian and Rain's cousins have learned to keep lids over the laundry baskets. Mostly Bob now snoozes on the bed, or looks for mice in the cow barn.
The crazy blue boots are important, or at least the soles are--along with the sword, they belonged to Rain's mom. And if you look close, you can see scars on Rain's calves from his first encounter with bugs in the lower pastures--since then, his father has made Rain (and his cousin and younger brother) leg armor for bug hunting.

I'm actually skipping an unfinished panel here of Rain flying home--I was going to finish it this week, but between taxes and a web server going away I've been busy--I'll load it later into one of the doll pic slots. Most of the furniture here is by Traveller at RDNA.

Ohhh...that blanket looks scrumptious!!! Bet it's soft on a kitty belly!! :D
He keeps a nicer room than I do! And my dog sheds more than his cat - this isn't fair. :) OK, maybe somebody needs to do a "shed-pet-hair prop". I don't know if this is me, but while everything else seems rooted to the floor, the bedside table seems to be floating somehow. However, I need sleep and it can just be my eyes.
I want his cat! :D
I just love this complex scene Lynn, with such attention to details. Gotta get those blue boots, so pretty.

There may not be any electricity in there but that room looks about as cozy as it gets. Great details as always. If rain goes a bug hunting, I say take the BFG.

Absolutely fantastic, marvelous and creative render, so many details, a very fine work!
This room looks very familiar....I have stayed in a few that look remarkably like it! I have seen a few bobcats too, but never a tame one! ;) You did a really nice job on him. Is the picture on the wall his mother? She looks familiar. Remarkable attention to detail, and details so well done! Great work!
