The best thing about Whaler's protesters is the painstakingly drawn shadow, which really places them firmly on the ground. The presence of the horns, and the Spanish sign in the background, gives me a clue as to what they were originally protesting about.


Thanks, Steve! Initially I intended to place stampeding bulls on that road, but the lack of suitable pictures, the lack of time and stumbling over this picture of Pamplona protesters (as I believe you suspected) changed my mind about the subject.
And as all of you can see, I didn't have to work too hard on the shadow, but removing the background and foreground, adding a leg on the girl to the right (I actually used her right leg and just flipped a copy of it over), and making new signs took the lion's part of my effort.
