Six Sad Stories in 6 Words - Part 4 of 6 - An Illustrated Series from J-VO
Good day everyone! Its been a lovely Saturday here in North Carolina
- even though the weather has been a bit bleak, its great because it gives me purpose to do things like hang out on Steemit with you guys!
The six word story is so cool and there have been a lot of you who have tried your hand at writing your own and have shared them with me - THANK YOU, it is SO much fun reading them and seeing you all get inspired :)
Here are a few of the stories our fellow steemians have created and shared in the comments of my first post:
• "Dog awaits for dead owner's return." - @extrawordinary
• "She left, and he poured another.." - @lilrut
• "The invincible man wanted to die." @seahockey
Interested in reading the backstory behind the concept and/or want to see the previous illustrations in this series?
See Illustration 2: "I Couldn't Believe She'd Shoot Me" - Howard Chaykin
See Illustration 3: "We kissed. She melted. Mop please." - James Patrick Kelly
Part 4
This story was by Margaret Atwood. You may have noticed that she also wrote my first six word story that illustrated the giant squid with a "starlet" having a sex scandal... she's a hoot huh! She is an incredible author (one of my favorites). Many people may recognize her name from a huge literary craze right now with her "Handmaid's Tale" and the new Netflix hit that aims to follow the storyline of this dystopian novel written in 1985; a cautionary tale - its probably one of the most influential books turned to tv this century (if I say so myself). Anyway.. this story caught my attention on www.sixwordstories.net - I again, took the words rather literally - but this time show the scene at the time of it happening - the final outcome his ultimate motivation through the entire act. I sketched out the composition, inked with my quill pen then applied watercolor washes. This one has a lot of the splatters - I love splatters!

wow great post @v-jo you good.
Well i waited for your response on my request but upto now you havnt given me feedback.Are you still interested in the project or i should start looking for someone else.
Hey Tinashe, I am interested I have been trying to work my blog a bit and have had other high priorities with several commissioned clients to handle and I have actually set aside some time today to work on it. I should have you something by the end of this evening - sound good?
yes thats very good ,Thank you.
@tinashe - I posted your work yesterday but didn't hear back from you - did you like it? I hope you did - have a great day! :)
It needs some adjusting the steemit zim logo is small ,not too visible ,it should be prounounced,The 'Z' is small it must be a capital letter
Ok, see it wasn't very clear what you were wanting. I thought you just wanted the steemit logo and the text was to be included but you never mentioned prominent - my apologies. It seems that what you are looking for is a logotype for the name and then also include the steemit icon somehow. Is this for another client of yours?
I want this logo to be on SteemitZimbabwe Tshirts and Caps that we want to print for our official launch of steemit inZimbawe.
Ok - I got you! So you are in Zimbabwe?! How freakin' cool man - I am working on it now ok! No worries - I want you to be happy :D
@j-vo this is beautiful work and I really like the concept behind the Six Words.
Im curious how do you animate these, what software are you using?
Hey @sneakgeekz - I am using Photoshop - You can do simple frame animations and some video based timeline animations (but I usually just do a simple frame animation build. If you have a starting image and an ending image you can create tweens and it will build the transition frames for you - or you can go in and individually manipulate each frame which I do most of the time with graphics like the cover image with the title graphic. Thank you for you very kind compliment - I am glad you enjoyed it! There are two more in this series I hope you will like those as well :)
Thank you @j-vo for the detailed reply. I will have to experiment with these features to see how it works for me. I will look at your other post also.
Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks and you are very welcome!! If you would like me to post a tutorial on how I did this to help provide some visuals in the process to make it easier - I would be happy to do that today - just let me know! Good luck and thank you for checking out my posts! I look forward to keeping in touch :)
Yes, can you please? That would be incredibly helpful as I'm very new to photoshop.
Ill keep a look out for it in you blog.

HAHA @artwatch - I LOVE MR BEAN! Thank you for the comment - and thank you for the awesome gif.. he is one of my favies!
As long as his character isn't working on my organs then I love him. - The movie RatRace always makes me think of this actor "Itsa race.... itsa race... I am winning...."
I don't know why but his character in that movie just cracks me up.
BAHAHAHHA.. i just spit pink lemonade across the room .. That's my favorite thing in that WHOLE movie is him going "I'm Winning!"... then gets to the locker and falls asleep HAHAHAHAH .. thanks for the laugh!!
