The past week was pretty busy. I found out that DJ Colleen Shannon was coming to Edmonton and since she was a Playboy Playmate it seemed to fit in perfectly with my pinup theme that I enjoy illustrating! After Meeting with Sam from the Rouge Lounge and told him my plan. He was very supportive and I started work the next day. I only had 5 days to complete the image and get it printed. That combined with my usual business of running around made things a bit tight for time.
In the end things worked out for the best...the final image took less than 30 hours, 12 of those hours was on Tuesday (the day before the event). I might have done it in less time but I was trying to perfect a better way to create hair in vector. I think I got it now though!
When I met DJ Colleen, I explained that there was 4 copies of the illustration - 1 for the bar, 1 for me, of course one for her if she wanted, and one to be auctioned off for Movember. She happily signed 3 copies and asked that I sign hers. She was pretty happy with the image since she said that she didn't get a copy for herself.
I thought the whole meeting was great, she then wished me luck in my new field after we had a photo together. All in all it was well worth the time I put into the image!
Next I'll be working on a vector pinup for Abby Valentine from Norman, OK. I think it will turn out great!
