When I published my work in progress in my gallery (because computer glitches were making me nervous), I said the page could have been in a blog post. Here's that post with my drafts. This time, I added two photo I'd referenced for the setting.

Timeline: The pictures above are from last week, Sunday the 18th, and Tuesday the 20th. When I uploaded that last one here, my goal was still to finish the background, clean up the water, then animate the whole drawing.

That last goal has been dropped indefinitely. Animating is too much for what else I need to focus on for the last week of May. No surprise.

My references included photos from an old beach trip. Yeah, the real beach was prettier. I didn't want to distract from Lady. (The finished version is in my gallery.)

Some Newgrounders weren't alive yet when I took the photographs. Back then, I used actual film that was developed at camera shops. (Do you remember one-hour labs?) I took a quick photo of them with my phone, and because I didn't feel like taking them out of the plastic of their photo album, they look even older than they are.
