This journal is to explain my silly image sequence idea to artists I have commissioned. I've made this pitch several times and it'll be easier if I just link folks to this journal. ;) If you don't find amusement with silly growth scenes, or are not an artist I am commissioning, you can safely skip this.
Simple story: Rooth'roo hops up to a coffee shop, orders some stuff, and due to some mysterious influence (the donut? the coffee? a blowdart?), he starts growing uncontrollably, indefinitely.
The commission: Draw one scene of your choice at any point along that sequence. It starts with him hopping up to the coffee shop (or some time before that), and ends with him at some ridiculous cosmic size that's incomprehensible (or some time after that).
Reference for Rooth'roo: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16872252
Some Artistic Freedom: You (the artist) would get to pick the setting, the scale, the props or background, any cameos or side characters, .. all that. If you choose a scene in the timeline close to one of the other scenes already rendered, try to maintain some consistency.
Sequence so far...:
Three scenes done so far (with arbitrarily selected sequence #s, because I have no idea how many pics will come out between scenes)

Think of it as a feature-length movie in your head, that starts with Rooth'roo contemplating going out to that shop for coffee and noms, and ends with him as big as the universe. Maybe it's a very long movie, where he takes years before he's even as big as a skyscraper and has to go through periods of time where his growth has stopped and he's trying to get his normal life back somehow ... or maybe it's pretty quick, and by sunset he's stomping entire cities flat out of frustration, or confusion, or by complete accident ... but in any case, your mission is to pick any frame of that movie in your head, any scene throughout the entire movie that you want, and draw what you see.

A bit more explanation
Think of it as a feature-length movie in your head, that starts with Rooth'roo contemplating going out to that shop for coffee and noms, and ends with him as big as the universe. Maybe it's a very long movie, where he takes years before he's even as big as a skyscraper and has to go through periods of time where his growth has stopped and he's trying to get his normal life back somehow ... or maybe it's pretty quick, and by sunset he's stomping entire cities flat out of frustration, or confusion, or by complete accident ... but in any case, your mission is to pick any frame of that movie in your head, any scene throughout the entire movie that you want, and draw what you see.

I'm inclined toward one page per artist, but I'm not strict about it. electrocat is already planning a 2nd page, but I'm not sure when. So far, she's the only one who expressed interest in such. I know it's not everyone's favorite subject, and in fact one artist already has expressly turned it down with "I'm not really into that", even though there are potentially hundreds of "pages" of non-growing opportunity leading up to the first sip of coffee.
So, as you may have figured out by now, this is not just a fun gratuitous growth sequence, but it's also a vehicle for pimping out lots of different artists at once. :) Heck, if I get enough of these, I may just inquire to each artist about being included in some sort of compilation work.
Hope you get plenty of artists to fill in those pages!
I'll repost it soon, but meanwhile: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ucs3isvn.....rooth.png?dl=0
