Ogre sells sea shells by the sea shore...

...in a little red pail.  He could have had a small business with tax exemptions and a nice little island life.  But instead he chased mermaid tail.  And we all know what happened after that.  Something to think about.

all layers

I added a color layer for depth (15jun13):

"deep color" layer: in the PSD, add a layer under the "color" layer (and above "under"):

for the ogre:

• brush 39 "chalk pastel"
• 50% opacity
• 2 ogre skin
• 1 ogre sleeve base
• 2 ogre shirt
• 3 ogre pants

for the mermaid:

•  50% opacity
• 1 mermaid skin base
• 3 mermaid skin (for hair)
• 1 mermaid bottom base (for fish bottom)

starting in on coloring

Ellen and Rusty came over and we commenced coloring.

A few thousand drawings to color. 18 minutes per drawing...aiming to get that down to 10 minutes per drawing. It's not paintbucket-style coloring - each image is like its own painting.

Need to figure out how to handle tracebacks - lots of boiling on today's test. Still image? Re-draw the tracebacks more precisely? Animate only the line? only the color? Dot, dot, dot...
