Another amazing tiny Story's drawing that needs some color!!!!

Remixed version of  Readmooses's illustration for Michal's tiny story 'Outsider'.

This was an excellent exercise in drawing feet :)

Just added some color to Readmooses awesome idea :) it's sort of messy but I tried. - Lucy 

The outsider stood beside

The little low-tide, as it dried

And she sighed as she decided,

"We'd be better off inside."

Alternate version. I was going for desolate but not empty.

This picture was originally created for the Outsider tiny story but perhaps it can be retooled to a new story and a still outsider but new perspective.

-----

The outsider stood beside

The little low-tide, as it dried

And she sighed as she decided,

"We'd be better off inside."

Version 1 drawing

The outsider stood beside

The little low-tide, as it dried

And he sighed as he decided,

"We'd be better off inside."

I love this little melancholic story. I wanted to show the 'outsider' aspect through the difference in media, the flat ink and the built out paper. Just a prototype I can see someone else doing this much better than me! Thanks for this story (YAY)

I am not exactly an illustrator, but when I have an idea, I try anyway.

I kind of saw the outsider and the little low tide as a person holding hands with a water droplet watching the ocean tide recede through a window.

If I read our story backwards, it’s about how I un-broke your heart, and then we were happy until one day you forgot about me forever.

I love happy endings.

I hope this cut out justify this beautiful tiny story.

Here is my illustration of the tiny story "Blodnasir" made and I really loved!

Please excuse my drawing skills as this is more of a mock up than anything :o) Just thought I'd put it out there and see what you guys could do with the idea. I just see this tiny story played out like a slideshow or comic strip. Maybe you could make it where no matter which way you read it, it makes sense. Does that make sense? Like a continuous filmstrip or something? Anyway, get remixing my friends! 

I gave it a second try to put it all together ^.^ it may not have the leftright/rightleft sense to it as the illustration is just one composition of my previous drawing, by using the magical PS anyway :)

Something simple

If I read our story backwards, it’s about how I un-broke your heart, and then we were happy until one day you forgot about me forever. 

I love happy endings.

This is my illustration for the brilliant tiny story 'righttoleft' by Blodnasir.

I was also inspired by pprescott's comic panel style idea for her illustration of the story. I wanted to create a comic panel that was ripped and rearranged as if whoever wrote the story did this too out of frustration.

I had so much fun with this :)

I am not the best person drawing, I draw, but I am not that good, anyway, one of the things that I learn here at Hitrecord, is not to be afraid of trying new things and try to make improvements and find the way to do everything better, so here it is, my illustration for the lovely Tiny Story: Summer Hobby!!!!!

My take on thedustdancestoo's 'Summer Hobby'... in comic form.

i collect flickering stars

in old pickling jars,

poking holes in the lids

so they can breathe.

Just a quick little illustration for thedustdancestoo's tiny story, I wanted these to be literal stars (balls of light) not fireflies.  The scanner didn't pick up the shading I did in the jar, so anyone with photoshop and photoshop skills please feel free to play with this.  

My interpretation of the tiny illustration of "summer hobby"

summer hobby. a tiny story by thedustdancestoo

aar..i forgot the e on breathe..bugger :(

This tiny story made me think of tori's RECord 'the jar'...because I don't have any drawing skills...I decided to REmix this image in stead...

*sorry for some of the scanning errors. Not near a editiing software at the moment

this tiny story reminded me of a sketch i did a while back- so i made the fireflies into stars. i hope nudity isn't a no-no... :0)

click on the title to see it animated. the reason i like tori's illustration for this story is cause they are dressed like theyre on an adventure.. maybe in their dads old coats or sthng

i collect flickering stars

in old pickling jars,

poking holes in the lids

so they can breathe.

(hope you enjoy this version...)

Right. Ignore the previous two installations. Apparently it works after I resized it now.

Decided to do a little remix of 'summer hobby' with a few combined illustrations here. :D I love the idea of flying through the skies and collecting the stars.

This is my first time posting an illustration. I hope you like it (:

This is an illustration for thedustdancestoo's Summer Hobby (a tiny story) with text included in the illustration.

It is also my first attempt to illustrate any of the tiny stories' text so constructive comments are welcome!

Tiny story text:

i collect flickering stars
in old pickling jars,
poking holes in the lids
so they can breathe. 

This is my an alternate of my illustration for summer hobby (a tiny story) by thedustdancestoo. This version has an added star-catching jar and some addition details. I did not add the text in this version but if anyone is interested I could add it to another record.

the story was so cute <3

My visual interpretation of tiny story: self perpetuating fear by MaxBrixton

I fear that I might be paranoid. I lament that I may be depressed. I deny that I could be in denial.

The words of thesherbethead and AeB are marvelous and I would never venture towards outting or upping them, but for the sake of commonality, I made the ideas of depression and denial follow the same pattern as MaxBrixton's original story. This is still a very, very rough word-sorting, so feel free to mix things up!

The images are a mighty remix compilation as well, so a big, big THANK YOU to all the artists, esp to totallyjamie for pioneering the white-on-black boldness.

(The triangle-face is being fixed, it looks so odd!)

"I fear I might be paranoid." by MaxBrixton

Had some free time today.

all "paranaoid stuff" I could recall from movies, including a bottle on the door handle :)

well.. there are already really good illustrations for this one.. but.. what the hell. here's my contribution, anyway :]

i peek through the curtains,
thousands of eyes...
"I fear I may be paranoid"..

I fear I might be paranoid.

<3 Cool little pun.

Although in the spirit of things, I fear quite self depricatingly that this illustration might be a bit rubbish.

A self perpetuating fear illustrated.

Also I swear I was going for more of a devil thing than a Batman thing -_-

"I fear I might be paranoid."

to the tiny story. i lol everytime i make this face in real life.

"I fear I might be paranoid" - spider vs human

EDIT: Yeah it's a bit obscure... but I remember this time when I saw a black spider on the wall. I was really scared and I wondered if I should kill it. If it wasn't poisonous, then I wouldn't care I'd just stick it outside. But what if it was....and to be on the safe side I squished it. Is that being paranoid? To be better safe than sorry?

In the drawing, a human is killing a spider with spray just as the spider is about to attack. So the human is paranoid and thinks the spider is going to kill them, the spider is paranoid and thinks the human is going to kill them...and they have every right to be paranoid... yeah........so either the human or the spider is saying 'I fear I might be paranoid'...? Eh

I love the pure, instant expression of the drawing by JacksonBlack. felt like adding humour to it so this is my REmix version

With slight (facial) alterations, littledoodles' "single" squirrel turned into MaxBrixton's paranoid...squirrel.

Once upon The End... there had been a time.

(reflecting back on the lives we lead up to that great final moment)

a variation On Haus of Glitch's great tiny story

Very rough draft, perhaps some more adept with a pen could redo. I couldn't get the D right

Haus_of_Glitch created the tiniest story RECord, Danah illustrated the tiniest story (illustration) and i REmixed the illustration by adding a little wirrow to it :))

Once upon a time, there was The End.

Just thought i'd do a drawing for House_of_Glith's awesome tiny story!

I loved Rtistiquebookworm's drawing of this tiny story so I thought I would pen it in. Someone should definitely color this though. This is definite coloring book material I think. Isn't there a coloring book collaboration somewhere? Oh well, have fun with it. 

Just Remixing 2 records together and adding a splash of color...

This is how I imagined this story...a happy couple starting their story and it abruptly ending before it really begins...

An illustration for the Tiniest Story by Haus_of_Glitch.

One upon a time, there was The End.

So I saw this image by Dezh and I kinda liked the idea of taking the words "upon" and "time" literally. And here's what I imagined: a little human-like creature - a personification of The End - sitting on a clock, giving us the eye and waving with his top hat, as if he were saying "don't worry, in two minutes a new Beginning is going to appear..."

<3

This is colouring of Magdalena illustration (the tiniest story) ! I made an another best version because the edge of this is quite rough : http://www.hitrecord.org/records/442072

"Once upon a time, there was The End."

This is just how I first pictured it. Not terribly well executed, I know.

My visual interpretation of tiniest story. Instead of drawing something, I was inspired by traditional paper cutting style using positive/negative space to create imagery.

NOTE: all done in Photoshop

Once upon a time, there was The End.

*sorry for some of the scanning errors. Not near a editiing software at the moment

... Everyone else's interpretations of Haus_of_Glitch's tiny story are so much more artistic and sophisticated that I felt a bit ashamed of mine... *digs a hole and hides*

Tried my hand at a different take on Haus of Glitch's Tiny Story. A little bit dark for tiny stories! Also with an Allen Ginsberg reference.

Just a quick sketch/idea for an illustration of Haus of Glitch's The Tiniest Story. The story starts with The End, on the first page of a book. (Sorry for the duplicate, the other one's orientation wouldn't change and I'm such a newbie that I don't know how to delete a RECord ..if that's possible.

hope u like it :D

Made a better one this morning, used pictures I like in the 'Tiny Story Albums' (instead of using a drawing I made haha). 

Even the tiniest dot has it's own tiniest story.

The similarity of this short story to John Barth's "Frame-Story" makes me uncomfortable and should be considered, I think. The above is an illustration of how similarily it could work with what he did with his story (re: Asking readers to turn his "short story" into a mobius strip).

I made a tiny story sticker from Haus of Glitch's Tiniest Story. It's up right now, on Ocean Blvd in Long Beach, California. Near 10th Street, just after Alamitos/Shoreline Drive.

The last one I uploaded went weird. Here's the illustration I meant to upload.

Voilà my second colouring of Magdalena's illustration !

Braun22 noticed the edge is quite rough. So Magdalena is too kind to do an another better version. Merci ! ^^

I changed my first colouring/remix :

- the character is not yellow but more blue (I always used Buttercup's painting),

- added a tiny ball of light in the hat, a text bull (text writted by Magdalena) and the text of Haus Of Glitch,

- for the clock, I put a beautiful texture of Belcath1981.

Hope you like Magdalena, Braun22 and you too, guys !! ^^

something simple for the tiniest story :)

The Tiniest Story reimagined.

The black & white version of my Tiniest Story illustration (because I can never choose between color and B&W...:)

Once upon a time, there was The End.

So the Prince wanted so much to f... to marry the Princess that he kicked every villains' a*s in a blink & this Mesdames & Messieurs with his bright smile, without a single scratches... Many children & the happily ever after followed on the second blink...

Wanted to create an eerie pop-up(ish) storybook picture for this tiny story

a man touched me.

his hand.. my thigh.

i touched him too.

my fist.. his jaw.

An illustration for InkedCanvas tiny story (i love this one!)

My visual interpretation of reciprocate tiny story by inkedcanvas. My concept is about how the girl reciprocated. She is smirking because revenge is sweet.

*punch* >:U

No punch in sight (as per request).

Added text to msmeganonymous' drawing to illustrate InkedCanvas' tiny story.

An other version, from an other angle - for InkedCanvas' tiny story (drawing by Dolphin170).

cisco's RED felt like a perfect fit. i just played w/ highlights, etc.. (and obviously greyscale) but it's her stance & facial expression that really touched me ^__^

Thunder always let Lightning come first --- sorry for taking all its sex appeal, DayGlo!! I thought it would be hard to illustrate this one, but now I am thinking of something may be I'll give it a try... may be... may be not... <3

Too much? When I read this storythis was immediately what I thought of. I'm sick, I know.

Whoever said that chivalry was dead?

Just thought I would submit a little doodle with the 'literal' representation of this tiny story.

Then again, I might or might not be insinuating something as well.

I can't believe I forgot the "s" on the end of "lets." Anywho, I put up a revised version with the correction. Again by <3

How to illustrate this and still make it, um, for lack of a better term, kid friendly? Has been plaguing me non-stop. So I thought I'd throw some brainstorming out there? I keep cycling back to maybe hiding under the covers with a flashlight? And making the flashlight flash, and the boom the clap of hands... or an orchestra, with the boom being a giant sheet of metal being struck, and a conductor moving his baton in between... and then there is this one...? very rough... I tried sharpie-ing the first frame to make it super dark, and that failed mightily... but the idea of the first frame being just a flash of a window pane with a storm outside, and a bedside table with a lamp, and then the second frame being the corner of a bed with a tangled sheet, a body part with a lightening tattoo, cloud print underpants under the bed, and a very smashed lamp (from previous frame) on the floor... if anyone likes the idea and wants to make it look better that would be cool...

my take on this sexy tiny story ;)

I'm never going to be able to look at wirrow's clouds t-shirt the same way ever again.

My visual interpretation of sexy tiny story about the weather by day glo.

This visual can be interpreted as the gentleman way or the saucy way. Nothing is sexier than a pair of lighting legs wearing heels. Please "heart" this if you want to see more of papercut stories.

PS: From far, the legs actually look like lightning bolts.

"King Midas often wondered what would happen if he touched himself."

My visual interpretation of midas tiny story. I want the midas's face and hand to be the focus of the visual.

A slightly naughtier version of midas illustration that I did earlier. :) This one..He looks torn! Should he or shouldn't he? Is this too risque for harper collins?

a try about this great tiny story.

Pretty self explanatory cut out..

i love totallyjamie's cutouts so much that i had to pull this one out into the physical world. :)

"It's called the world wide web" said the spider to the fly.

"It's called the world wide web," said the spider to the fly.

Saw this tiny story by rayperez in RegularJOE's reRECs and thought I'd try and give my version of it. I decided to use binary but I just wish I knew how to write in it. Then I would of written hitRECord or something over and over on the webbing. Challenge for someone else maybe?

My fly looks resistant to change.

"It's called the world wide web," said the spider to the fly.

An illustration for rayperez's tiny story :)

It is an Illustration of Rayperez's poem.

I translate "TO CATCH FLY" into 8 another languages with help of google translation :P then I don't know if it is right ! Hope it is ! :o) I tried also to write in chinese and japanese language ! Xo)

The fly, spider and the world are there... I will upload a quick version that I colored too.

Just a quick colored version of the idea I had.

I sort of lost the enthusiasm along the way so I uploaded it with no colour as well.

"It's called the world wide web," said the spider to the fly.

An illustration for rayperez' tiny story 'webs we weave'

It is another version B&W of my first illustration of Rayperez's tiny story. ^^

Please add some tiny friends!?

Just a rough sketch of rayperez's tiny story. I seem to sruggle with drawing insects. hahah I will clean it up a bit more later. (:

I'll upload a better version as soon as I can

i probably should have proportioned it better....

My visual interpretation of web we weave tiny story by rayperez.

Obviously I am having too much fun making tiny stories cut out. Even if they don't get selected as final artwork, at least I am a happy girl! :)

"It's called the world wide web," said the spider to the fly.

Just sort of re-drew it and made it a bit creepier. I don't know, I got a real sort of predator-y vibe from the original story though.

And hey, bug anatomy fail but whatever.

This was just a rough doodle sketch, I did at the back of my note pad, of rayperez's tiny story. I was going by rayperez's remark on how the spider would intise the fly into his web.... hope its ok. ^_^

Ballpoint pen illustration a la Charlotte's Web. :)

Just an idea - and a very very very very raw sketch of it.

My illustration for rayperez 'webs we weave' tiny story. All stitched with white cotton into black paper :)

"It's called the world wide web," said the spider to the fly.

My take on the tiny story by rayperez:

"It's called the world wide web," said the spider to the fly.

More of a sketch/idea for "real" illustrators

Joe made a request about make illustrations for some Tiny Stories, I fell in love with this one, Dead Love by thedustdancestoo, so I made a remix with some amazing records and this is the result, I hope you like it!

For KarizzMarie's adorable tiny story.

I only changed the sun to 'she' and not 'he' because for me (and in my language), the sun is female :)

Aww i feel so sorry for the poor sun now D: *cries*

I just saw that there are still pencil lines visible, i editet this on my laptop and it seems the contrast on my laptop is very bright D: *fail*

♥

The Sun is such a lonely star. Whenever he comes out to see his friends, they all disappear.

Little illustration for this lovely tiny story...

Ok, this is a bit stupid, but when I read Scarlet's fantastic tiny story, I immediately got this image in my head and drew it in my new sketch book. Since it's hitRECord-inspired, I felt obligated to post it... even though it looks like scribbles.

An illustration from the great tiny story by Scarlet.

Got another idea and added a tiny story from Scarlet. Thought it fits :-)

Drawing by Fati; tiny story by Scarlet.

"The physician’s wife was told that an apple a day kept the doctor away. Each evening she would eat two apples (just to be safe). But much to her dismay, her husband still kept coming home." I've tried to not use color since the Tiny Book will be black and white :o)

A collage illustration for bryn_haz's tiny story, Doctor's wife.

This is my comical interpretation of Doctor's wife tiny story by bryn_haz

Ok, I can't draw, but I had this idea and couldn't let it wither away in my brain. Remix away, you have free reign!

The physician’s wife was told that an apple a day kept the doctor away.
Each evening she would eat two apples (just to be safe).
But much to her dismay, her husband still kept coming home.

*****

This is REmix RECord using bryn_haz's story and eNgma's drawing. I tweaked the strawberry to become an apple. I think this image is good enough to capture reader's attention without giving too much away.

The physician’s wife was told that an apple a day kept the doctor away. Each evening she would eat two apples (just to be safe). But much to her dismay, her husband still kept coming home. This this is a slightly darker take on the story. Doctors in general scare the hell outta me...! Like that there can be various interpretations of this story :D

drawings by steverolston & wirrow

Ok I'll admit, I have a few skeletons in my closet; but they weren't skeletons when I put them there.

Perhaps this skeletal dude could be incorporated into artwork for a Tiny Story involving, say, skeletons.

An illustration for MadisenMusic's tiny story Hursery. I didn't want to draw something obvious with skeletons so I thought a bit about a setting someone might say this sentence in and  came up with this trial scenario.

And it was a good chance to draw a forest of microphones :D

again, and again, and again...

my take on the tiny story by rowrowrow

(been lacking illustration mojo lately, so I thought I'd try something different!)

just before i died, my life flashed before my eyes.
but it flashed so slowly that i lived it all again.
and again and again..
(text by rowrowrow)

One day before breakfast, an orange rolled off the counter and escaped its fate, bouncing happily through the kitchen door. Filled with hope, the egg followed.

********************************************************

Illustrating of Sparksee05's tiny story. This drawing is inspired also by the one of Moisanom.

Do you think the egg will be break or not ? :o)

My visual interpretation of the RegularJOE's tiny story. The first thing that came to my mind was mismatched expectations in a love relationship.

another interpretation of the story ..haha :)..yeah..he's doing another chick behind her back. This one is for gleefulmalice..

Bicycle rules! :)

One wanted to share a life together.
The other wanted to share two.

It's been a while since I've seen a tiny story which has stirred so much debate about its possible meaning and created so many interesting ideas from it. It's definitely worth looking at the conversation thread for Joe's story and read some of these.

As far as I know my viewpoint hasn't been taken up by anyone else yet. I saw it as a woman sharing the news with her partner that he's going to be a father.

Turns out I'm a romantic. Who knew?

i loaded the wrong one previous. her heart was misplaced at her throat :D

One wanted to share a life together.
The other wanted to share two.

*******************************

Here my interpretation of RegularJoe's tiny story ! ^^ Just simple ! What do you think ? :o)

This love and reincarnation interpretation is for all the hopeless romantic! My "bicycle" trilogy is now complete! :)

PS: Can't believe the same few words and few people on bicycles can tell three different story..

For the cutest and most cuddly tiny story I've read so far. ;)

Metaphorest, your tiny stories are cute ; x ;

ooops!!! I meant fuzzy buzz!!

sorry =/ 

(:

Not quite a good illustrator nor drawer. This is what comes to mind :)

"Outsider(Tiny story)" - The naked onion is outside its peel. It shall be cooked.

I'm no good at drawing, but had an illustration idea for Blodnasir's 'right to left' tiny story...

"Righttoleft" --but this is supposed to read from left to right. You can't change time

This is what popped into my head when I read Haus_of_Glitch's Tiny Story. It's a little rough, I know, and apologies for that...but it's an idea :)

InkedCanvas I put pants on your little man!  sorry ;(

but he needed pants for this

just felt like having another go at this cute story x

A remix to lindzey42 Tiny Story the wicked witch and JacksonBlack Illustration of it. 

illustration to the very charming tiny story

I originally drew this for the truth in fairy tales collaboration. The story was, "Snow White was a victim of food poisoning." It occurs to me that this also works for bryn_haz' Tiny Story (slightly edited)

recycling an old drawing for the tiny book of tiny stories

outsider (tiny story) by Michal

i really enjoyed reading this it reminded me of childhood, i remember a hand build ceramic hut somewhere with a staw roof, think its long gone now...

i love to watch the sea.

Ok I'll admit, I have a few skeletons in my closet; but they weren't skeletons when I put them there.

Ok I'll admit, I have a few skeletons in my closet; but they weren't skeletons when I put them there.

*When I read this tiny story, this is what came to mind.. It's supposed to look like the dude put bodies in his closet, and as a result of spending so much time on hitrecord.org, he forgot about them and they turned to skeletons. I was thinking of having him sitting at the computer with his head turned to the closet but this is what happened instead...Please feel free to remix. This is a rough, rough draft ;) *

Sorry This looks so crappy,but the pencil i used was awful quality and i haven't drawn in more than a year,but this is my idea if someone could remix it into something better or redo it it would be great.

inspired by rowrowrow's tiny story :)

the eyes are supposed to represent the aging process and different stages of our lives that we live through.

before i died by rowrowrow.

just before i died, my life flashed before my eyes.

but it flashed so slowly that i lived it all again.

and again and again.

i got lost in drawing the hair. its meant as pathways and choices in her life kind of like life lines. the rest of it is quite simple and she has an almost smile.

One day before breakfast, an orange rolled off the counter and escaped its fate, bouncing happily through the kitchen door.

Filled with hope, the egg followed.

i m a sucker for cute food doodle!

In legends and fairy tales heroins often have names like: "Faith", "Grace", "Brave"... so why not a young princess named "End". So there is a big illustration and an explanation longer than the original story !!
