Before I began on the pages, I did turn-arounds of the characters so that I could figure out what they looked like from all angles.

Zaki was pretty simple, and has been very fun to draw. His face has really evolved since then. I think his cheeks have grown chubbier, and slowly his nose keeps seeming to grow. I find it interesting to see how characters evolve as an artist just draws, and changes occur without one originally knowing until they look back and realize, "Oh, his nose was once small..."
