So, I’m doing this project for a friend. And, before people point out all the red flags in a situation like that… I’ll just say, I actually want to do this. Its special to me and I would do it regardless if I ever got any money for it. Its a semi-true bed time story my friend tell his girls about an encounter he had with a mouse. A couple years ago I got inspired and did a little mock up of it. I’m including those pictures because he loved it. (Picture 1) We are talking about just doing a print ninja run of this when its done. And theoretically, it shouldn’t take long since it’s only 8 or so pages.
The problem is actually doing it. I’m seeing so many issues now that I’ve been in SVS for so long. Things are too close to the edge of the page etc. But, I still liked the basic idea. I was working on trying to get the cover image done over the last little while, and I couldnt figure out why it was bothering me till I realized how hard it would be to even see the mouse when I drew him - and he’s the whole point. (Picture 2) I’m pretty sure I’ll be scrapping the cover I have, and trying something new. (picture 3). But, now I’m just hating everything. I need some fresh eyes and feedback. I need to do this you guys. I think, psychologically speaking, I need to finish something so I know that I can. It’s been a huge mental battle for me to take on an actual project that involves more than one image. It’s scary.
