unfinished Doodles: "Creature Island Thing" and "Lonely Snowman"

While digging through a box tonight looking for paper, I found a few old sketchbooks and while flipping through, pulled out a couple of my favorites.

First is this cool idea of a city being built in a creature's mouth. I'm pretty sure I saw a drawing that inspired this and this was my take on it. I never really finished it...the eye woulda been a key piece to have done. This was probably 2004-2005 somewhere?

The second one is this really sweet and sorta sad holiday scene. The caption is "a lonely night with an unfinished friend". Very Norman Rockwell feel to me...like a typical american moment or something?
