There we go. All finished. Ended up flipping it around and making it into a 5×7 Halloween card! Turned out pretty awesome. I love how much little details there are. Definitely learned a lot from doing this one. Techniques and stuff I should be using from here on out. Especially with Halloween next month. More monsters and such to come, I think.

I got an offer to do some Christmas cards/postcards in the near future! Pretty awesome. I think I’m going to stick to doing these 5×7 card sizes for awhile. I think they’ll be a lot more marketable in familiar sizes. Makes sense.

EDIT: Maybe I’m not quite finished with this yet. I’m noticing some spots where I can make some improvements.

I’m unexpectedly not at home today. So I decided to doodle from the large fish tank sitting in front of me. I think it turned out pretty great. Something different than what I normally do, that’s for sure.

I’ll get right back to posting my slides tomorrow. I kind of got whisked away from my place today. Having a few drinks. Enjoying myself. Hope everyone is having a fantastic Tuesday!

Bright and colorful bombs, filled with delicious candy, are heading down towards…

Emily World! Where anything is possible. The evil Fat Octopus Man is terrorizing everyone! Oh, look it’s the Super Onion Guy who’s saving the day by… making everyone cry! Pigs shaped like sprinkled doughnuts! Awesome beards! And giant heads with black-holes for mouths! Ridiculously awesome.

So yeah, today I spent the afternoon drawing with my 8 year old niece, Emily. I picked her up from school today. It’s only, I think, her 3rd day of grade 3. I had to scout around to find her when the bell rang as I wasn’t sure which doors she would burst from. I ended up finding her rolling around in the sand at the school’s playground. We walked home, drank some chocolate milk, and drew our stuff. I would of never came up with the candy bombs I drew if she didn’t inspire me with her 8 year old wackiness.

I won’t say too much about today’s artwork. Thanks to my cousin Brad, who came up with the idea to draw a meteor or a comet. This thing turned out wonderfully. I wanted something with colors!

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get working on that critter I posted yesterday that I’d like to convert to digital. We’ll see though. A friend asked me to create some slides for her. So I might be working on that. She needs them to go along with an IGNITE “talk” that she’s giving in September. Haven’t got back to her yet about it, but I’ll be doing that shortly. Hope I can pull it off! Wish me luck.
