Description

First of all, I'd like to apologize to everyone for being SO late on this kiriban picture. My journal indicates I hit the milestone back in October, and it's only now that I'm publishing a picture to commemorate the event.

That said, now I can explain what I've done here. Unlike previous kiriban pictures, I went through a LOT of ideas in my mind about what to do in honor of the occasion, long before I had reached the milestone. My first idea was to draw a picture of my character STP posing victoriously atop a huge "16384" while my other characters are struggling to lift the whole thing from below, with Reena calling out "STP, get your butt down here and help us!" It would've been funny, and I even started to draw the picture, getting as far as STP before realizing that I'd never drawn my other characters before, and a kiriban picture that gets displayed on my front page is NOT the place to show drawing practice for characters.

My next idea was to do the same thing, but digitally, looking for character bases in the proper poses and modifying them accordingly. But again, I've never used bases before and I didn't want a long-lasting picture to show my first attempt at using them. The next idea, which actually came only a few days ago, was a neon sign resembling a fast-food restaurant sign, with my STP signature as the logo and the caption "Over 16384 page views served." But I couldn't get the look right.

The final idea, which I actually took to completion, was a stepping stone from the fast-food-sign idea, and that was to make a theater marquee sign advertising this kiriban as if it was a feature presentation. This was a good thing for me, for it allowed me to refresh my Google SketchUp skills, which had definitely waned ever since I got used to using AutoCAD for work.

I like how you choose specific numbers for your kiribans, as opposed to the typical 15,000; 16,000; 17,000 that other people usually opt for. And how to keep it up on your front page to show folks how appreciative you are for visiting. :3

Great picture! I like the concept, and I'm loving the coming soon movie poster for the 100 themes challenge. You are very talented with Google Sketchup!
