I had to get this out of my head. Now I can rest.
Hello Holt5,
thank you for your feedback! Since it is only one single picture without more story behind than the text gives away it took about 10 hours altogether.
Wow, that's still quite awhile! I imagine working on the individual photos is actually a good way to break up the work load. The results really paid off.
Yes, with all those steps on every single piece it sums up after a while. I also played around with different compositions (in the beginning it was a comic with panels in a bar, later just a table with photos on it and a single panel with everyone trying to stay serious as theist photo drops but in the end I decided for this pinboard with speech bubbles. :)

This is great. Completely aside from the beautiful style, it's it's own slice of a story with a uniquely familial/nostalgic overtone. Just with a couple sentences and photos I feel like these are characters that I can already connect with.
How long of a project was this?
