A Valentine's Day present I'm working on.
« on: February 12, 2014, 10:09:44 PM »
So this year I figured I'd forego the traditional socks, jocks and chocolates for Mrs. Smeagol92055 and get creative.  To that end, I ordered a blank book and wrote and illustrated her a 28-page story.  Right now I'm at the coloring phase of it and, if all goes well, tomorrow I may get to ink it (if the pens and paper will cooperate with me and not ruin everything.)
Since she doesn't participate on the forums here, I'll go ahead and post some progress videos of what I've been doing this week.
Enjoy!

(And I promise as soon as I'm done with the book I'll get back to that Captain Picard illustration!)

I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

I just have to put this on the front page. Oh, I hope my wife doesn't see this. I am such a I hate Valentine's Day Guy.

As I am doing this she just gave me a present (well more of a family present in the from of Disney Infinity). I think you have really nailed what VD ought to be.

Please message me if you want me to take your video off the front page. I don't want to ruin any surprise.

Not at all!  I just put the finishing touches on the book about an hour ago and I'm happy to share the videos here with you all.
Thank you for the frontpage love!

So I had to make a cover image for the book. Here's the illustration I drew for it!
