I gave a conference talk yesterday, and decided to illustrate the entire thing. This article goes into what exactly went into that, some of the tricks I’d used, and a lot of images from the talk itself.

In total the talk involved 41+ illustrations, 8 lemurs with voice acting included, 137 slides, and about 135 hours of work

At the very end you can find the slide deck, though I hope to see the video posted within the next week or two from Southeast Ruby.

Feel free to ping me with any questions about tools, tutorials, or other things involved in making something like this.

Now would I do it all again, knowing what it takes to get it ready? Why yes, yes I would. Expect more lemurs and whimsy in the future.
