So I have been doing a lot of birthday stuff lately and I figured I'd address the topic a bit before anyone ends up feeling either left out or spoiled rotten. My main reason for drawing birthday pics is because I want to give that person something for their birthday. Shouldn't be too big a shock. This is when I end up drawing one or two images.

A second reason that might apply is that there is something I've been meaning to draw for ages and said birthday gives me both an excuse and a deadline. This is when birthday pics turn into birthday series. These are not just for the birthday boy/girl but also for myself.

Soooo... if you happen to get a single pic while somebody else gets a whole series, certainly don't take it personally. It simply depends on whether or not inspiration hit me or not (and whether my doodling went well enough).
