SVS Virtual Studio NOVEMBER 2023
-
Congratulations fellow rabbits! You survived the 31 day Inktober marathon! Now it's SLOWVEMBER! A time to sloooow down and enjoy creating one magnificent piece of work... Please show us your progress as you relax and refine your creation.
Remember: Don't be shy. Just imagine you have invited all your good SVS friends into your studio for a peek at what you're working on. We're all here to admire and encourage. This is NOT a place for critiques. You may applaud, encourage, ooh and ah, only. Relentless kindness.

After finishing my inktober project I already had an Idea for slowvember and Rock fortress and made a thumbnail to start working on the design. Then I listened to the “Slowing it down” podcast where Lee explains what slowvember is really about and I realized I was doing it all wrong. So I kept thumbnailing as I wandered through Ideas in my head. These are the three I liked the most but Ill still research, ingest and wander this week to start thumbnailing it down on next one
-Edited to remove thesuper smudgy thumbnails-
Ill keep sharing more in a separate post -

I'm participating in Folktale Week this year, but at my own pace. My day job as a college theatrical costume instructor comes first, and we had a production go up this week so I was busy. Instead of looking at it like a negative (which is what I usually do) I did the requisite mental gymnastics to invert the situation to an opportunity instead, and decided to embrace "The Slow". I'm a big fan of Lee White's "Slowvember" concept, so I'm stretching things out and using the inspirational guides from Deb Stein's StoryCamp Disco and the prompt words when and how I want to use them. So far I've re-conceptualized my adaptation of the Little Red Riding Hood tale, done a ton of really interesting research that is influencing my story development, and even done a couple inspirational illustrations.
Here's the one for "Lost".

@Coreyartus It's great! I love the wood effect and lighting and the fact the the word 'lost' only appears after looking for a little while. And it really looks like a stage scene.
