Never Grow Up... or Else

"The boys on the island vary, of course, in numbers, according as they get killed and so on; and when they seem to be growing up, which is against the rules, Peter thins them out."

A personal project that's intended to show the darker side of Peter Pan. He's generally seen as a playful, cocky boy but when I read this quote, I interpreted it in only one way.

First project I've had the pleasure of using @Ben Stafford's beautiful grain technique! See attachments for grainy goodness.
