Thanks for those great photos Wendy! Makes me a little homesick for Coos Bay. Well, I guess if it's good enough for Wendy then it's tiki enough. :wink:

A little progress, I sketched out some basic seating areas and then got bored with it so I decided to start on the painting part and worry about doing the audience when the time comes.

Got a fair amount of progress done tonight, and as I left the studio around 4 am I saw a little visitor. :wink:

I wanted to start on the pillar since it is the central focus, and wanted to figure out some of the light sources since its going to be a fairly dark picture.

Then I knew that the movie screen would be one of the main light sources so I concentrated on that part. I tried to give it a little bit of a squished look because of the angle. I need to do some corrections to his eyes though I didn't quite capture that Chaplin "look" I wanted. Plus I want the finished screen to have a softer and brighter look.

And now the little visitor I saw as I left out the door. I am okay with these things being off to the side so long as they don't get on ME. Besides I have been having an insect pest problem lately that this will help sort out. Warning to the squeemish... it has eight legs and spins webs. Not sure if this particular one is poisonous, but it was fairly big.

And that's it for the Tigertail show for now. :)
