Lucky us, we just get to admire the finished product.Merlin T Wizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710710243242876650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135490.post-72031883953032933372008-06-23T08:14:00.000-04:002008-06-23T08:14:00.000-04:00Yeah, Alley is a great subject, which could explai...Yeah, Alley is a great subject, which could explain why there are 13,000+ pictures of her collected in the baba (Burg's Alley Baggett Archive) naming convention. I don't know why I don't do more pictures of her.<BR/>Anyway, what I don't like about the image doesn't really have to do with the image itself (though I'm not thrilled about how the hat, her right eye - most of the problems with which stem from the source image and my inability to extrapolate details - or the blanket), but with certain "intangibles" relating to it.<BR/>For one thing, it took <I>forever</I> to draw, or at least to finish. I was working on it well into the small hours Saturday night/Sunday morning before crashing and thought that, at most, I had about an hour's worth of work left to do on it. It ended up being more like 3 and a half.<BR/>And while it may not be obvious to anyone looking at it, I took a really slapdash approach to some of the final details (simply because I was sick of working on it).<BR/>So there you go.Jon Makihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794059462290021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8135490.post-31033836036971991622008-06-23T07:33:00.000-04:002008-06-23T07:33:00.000-04:00Very nice.
