My butt hurts from sitting so long, Color @ 99.9%
Hi there.
I am done reviewing all 2,928 original character images and have color-matched every reference therein. Just a handful of unspecified white blobs remain before the Characternity is fully colored. I finished this most recent push of work over the past 72 hours in what has been my most focused and least healthy working session since moving to New York in July.
I'm going to take a break until Monday morning, when the project will be closed and I can start to add your suggestions. Your support has been so valuable in getting me over this last hump. Now I'm going to drink some water and go for a run.
With love and gratitude.

PS - There's a nice article on JESS3, and below is an episode of BiDiPi that featured the project. Outside recognition for this project has been pretty amazing. Below the video you can see the current state of the image as well as my initial experiment in tiling the piece for fabric and other applications. :)

I don't know if he's in there... but I hope Bucky O'hare, Deadeye Duck and Blinky all have a "space" in there. One of my favorite cartoons... I must've watched the theme song 50 times to learn all the words. Keep strong.
