Some balloons today! These were really fun to do. I didn’t originally have faces on the balloons, but it adds quite a bit. I was worried it would be a bit too dark with Adorable Kathy murdering a balloon. However, I think it comes off as a little comical. I’m not changing it I think it’s perfect leave me alone!

So that’s 15 slides completed. Well, 14 really. As one will be shown twice in a row. Kathy, the one who’s giving the presentation, will be talking about something for about 30 seconds or so at one point early on, so I decided to show the same slide twice in a row. Each slide has to be shown for exactly 15 seconds. So this worked out well in the end. Unless I find, when I’m all finished, that I have time to go back and come up with something else. But at least I don’t have to worry about that now.

Quite happy with today’s results. My wrist was getting a bit sore from all this drawing. So it’s time to rest up and take it easy. I’ll get back at it tomorrow. Where I’ll hopefully finish all the slides up!

I’m still working on lots more today, but I thought I would put up my daily post first. This “Probable” slide took a little while to do. Maybe an hour. Mostly just experimenting. But man did that ever kill my wrist. Taking a bit of a break!

Up next is a similar slide titled “Possible”. So I think I’m going to do something similar with a more positive color. Should be fun. Then it’s onto the last 5 slides. Should be a couple with my Adorable Kathy character saying a thing or two in word bubbles. So really, I only have to come up with 1 or 2 completely new ideas before everything is complete.

Okay, I thought yesterday’s work was my favorite artwork to date…

I love this guy so much! I’ve named thee, Cautious Dragon!

Anyways, still lots of work left to do today, but this guy took a few hours. That’s exactly half of the work done on the total 20 slides, but I don’t have a lot of time finish up the last 10 slides. Actually, I guess it’s only 9 pretty much, as the last slide will probably just be a credits sort of thing. Something like the following:

Maybe with a doodle or something colorful thrown in there with it. Like a purple ringed planet or something. I think that’s a pretty good idea.

Spent lots of time on these today. Extremely happy with the results. I may go back and edit a few things, or add something, but for now, these are wonderful! I’m about half way done the slides. Almost. These two images here are some of my favorite work. Ever! Just a lot of feeling behind them, I guess. Really had a wonderful day as well. My patio door has been wide open, and it’s been stormy weather all day. Perfect for a few hours of drawing.

Not sure what’s up next yet. Let’s see…

Okay, for slide 10 I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet. I could do my best to draw Michio Kaku! As I need to draw a physicist. However, Albert Einstein is easily the best choice, and the most recognizable. So we’ll see!

Looking again, I don’t necessarily  NEED to draw a physicist. It’s just the first thing that came to mind. Anyways, I’ll figure it out tomorrow.

Side note: Anyone here to check out my artwork should absolutely click on the images to see a much more detailed view. I can’t stress this enough. You can’t even see the freckles on the super-kid unless you don’t 🙂 this goes for everything on this website.

Hello, people! Got all my work done early today. I’m trying to figure out how best to explain some of these images, as they are a little odd when viewed out of context. However, I’ve decided that it doesn’t really matter. When Kathy’s presentation is all done and over with, I’ll make a huge post explaining all the slides and, with her permission, post a copy of her presentation and which slides go with what. That would be pretty cool, I think.

There’s a good chance I’ll be going back and doing some editing, either as I go along or when I’m all finished. That would be after Kathy looks over everything. She’ll no doubt want to make a few changes here and there. So none of these are final really.

So now I’m finished with page 1, as far as the drawing part goes anyways. I have about 12 more slides to go. Wow, thinking about it that way, it’s not really a whole lot. I feel like I’m making decent progress all of a sudden. No slacking though!

Here are some feet. It’s probable that these feet will get toasty.

I’m posting this really late! I’ve been gone for the entire day, and wasn’t planning on it. I thankfully drew this before I left this morning, and I love how the feet turned out. Not as happy about the coals right now. Tomorrow I plan to get a lot more done!

Tomorrow’s check list includes:

– Finishing the feet picture
– Working on my picture of a running faucet
– Scientist cartoon with her pointer

Here we are at day 30. It’s a pretty big deal. For the next week or two it’s going to be all updates on the project I’m working on. Still creating slides for a presentation for my friend, Kathy. I added a dangly motorcycle earring to the original Kathy image, and created the second one. The second one is going to match up with a part of her presentation where she finds out she’s going to be walking on fire. I thought the expression was pretty fitting for the situation. Though I’m sure I’ll still be making changes and edits as the days go on.

Now that I’m starting to get some ideas for what to create for each slide, I’m already falling into a good rhythm. I’m still quite stressed about the whole situation though, as she’s counting on me, but I’m managing.

First off, she obviously wants me to do a really good job on all the slides, and keep them relevant to what she’s saying during those 15 seconds. But, I really have no idea what looks good to other people. I send her an image to get her opinion and I honestly have zero clue whether it’s awesome, terrible, or juvenile. It’s not easy! The images also can’t be too distracting, or give away what a punch-line or key piece of information will be before she says it.

Then there’s the time restraint. I have something like 9 or so days, give or take, to get this completed. 20 slides. I constantly worry that I won’t get them done in time, or go too quickly and end up not spending near enough time on some of the images.

Overall, it’s a wonderful opportunity. I’m really enjoying the time spent drawing this character. And when I look over the rest of the presentation, I feel I should be able to come up the right images to go along with it.
