I'm glad this is finally finished. ^{It's one of those pieces I've been working on in between other projects, for a long time.}

^{Last One Left}

Lately,

^{you may have noticed.}

I've been sharing new artworks and displaying them with other pieces I've produced in the past; pieces that all help make up entire collections or help shed light on a specific theme.

Today I'm piecing together the artwork intended to be used as illustrations for a writing project I've had planned for many months.

I'd really like to be able to share a lengthy, fully illustrated work of fiction with you folks here.  The only obstacle in my way is the fact achieving what I have in mind takes a lot of time; it's a lot of work.  I'm not interested in rushing because being in a hurry typically leads to cut corners.  Offering short chapters because I spent too much time on the art, or providing cheesy art to go along with a long chapter; that's not how I want this project to go down.

So

^{I have a storyline in mind.}

Slowly and steadily, I've been producing the illustrations.

At the same time, I have a blog to maintain (don't we all).  The blog requires fresh, new and unrelated content, daily.

As I had said in a previous post awhile back, there actually is a method to this madness here @NoNamesLeftToUse, and multitasking is required in order to achieve my goals.  There's no point in going silent for a few weeks or months, work on one project while I'm away, then come back and expect my viewership/readership, friends, fans and following to still be here to enjoy what I have to offer.  To me, this all feels like one big balancing act; every step is more important than the last.

Anyway

^{Enough about me and my thought process.}

On with the show.

^{Sitting on a Cloud of Steps}

^{Sitting on a Cloud of Steps is one of my most popular pieces, according to the folks who've enjoyed it.  That's where my story begins.  And now, you know.}

The rest won't make much sense until the story begins to unfold.  The names of the images don't tie into the storyline.

^{The Silent Treatment}

^{Watching What's There}

^{Their Final Day}

^{A Lot of Not A Lot}

^{Supper Time}

^{Not many noticed the ghostly figures within Supper Time at the time of release but I insist, they're in there.}

^{Watching You}

^{Happy Duck Loves Morning}

^{Looking Back}

^{Almost Human}

^{I'll See You in the Morning}

^{Pulled in Every Direction}

^{Hold It In}

^{No You Cannot Have That}

^{That's Behind Me Now}

^{Why Me}

^{Wondering What's Next}

^{The First Day}

^{What Is This Place}

^{Had A Rough Night}

^{Mr Sudness}

^{Unexpected Company}

^{Spelunking With Max}

Twenty-four Images Complete

^{So far...}

That collection alone amounts to literally hundreds of hours worth of work, and I'm nowhere near complete.  As I envision the completed product, in book format, with images on the left side of the book and the words to the right, with more than two hundred pages; I know I have a long way to go.

I know I'll get there, eventually.  That's the plan anyway, and I'm sticking to my guns.

I hope you've enjoyed this little show.

Have a nice day.
