Merry Christmas (and Happy Holidays!)

 I haven't posted in quite awhile - will try to add some new content after the New Year - but for now, just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Before the Whuddles were Whuddles

 As much as I wish it were different, I have little artistic ability when it comes to drawing and painting figures or objects. When I came up with the concept of the Whuddles, I knew that my horrible stick figures were NOT going to do.  At the time, all I really had was the idea of who/what the Whuddles were (backstory) and what they should look like. I also had no idea, at the time, about things like comps, sketches and/or whiteboards.  But, I was determined so I just moved ahead with what seemed the most logical plan - I began to look for commercial artists, cartoonists, etc.  I could go on and make the story much lengthier than it needs to be, but suffice it to say, those first contacts cost a bundle and produced very little in results.
