All done purely in PowerPoint.

There are a total of 9 frames here. As you can see, there's quite a story as to the existence of each. The story for the center frame can be found here: [link]

The other eight were for a class presentation. You see, I have this tradition of drawing my entire secondary-school class. I did it every year in high school. It started with 3 pages of sketchpad, showing portraits of my classmates in anime version during freshmen year. When I turned sophomore, I tried again. This time, the sketches were full-body, and colored. Then came junior year, and I reverted to digital portrait art (also done in PowerPoint). I left the anime style and tried a more caricature-like style. It was pretty accurate, but was nowhere near as detailed as this. It had mostly 8 to 10 shapes per person. When senior year came, I took up the challenge of re-making them as realistic as I could...in just THREE (3) days.

And so, here they are! Each face (except the one in the center frame) consists of 250 to 350 grouped objects. The center one has around 560 objects. And if you're wondering, that's supposedly me in the middle of the gray frame.



PEOPLE (Left-to-Right):

Orange Frame: (Four Fanclub Founders; my fanclub, not my art's) Carla, Joakima, Mara, Althea
Green Frame: (Double Daters) Regine, Abby, Molo, Hyo Jin
Yellow & Light Green Frame: (Chinky Nation) Jenny, Ye Jie, Alice, Jessica, Ellaine, Yu Bin
Purple Frame: (The Lovers) Min Tae, Josephine
Red Frame: (Internationals) Steff, Hannah, K, Luke
Blue Frame: (Duo) Paul, Mike
Gray Frame: (Clique) Alexis, Ivan, Me, Owen, Aliza



Each face took me about two and a half hours each. The center one took me four hours.
I don't know how long they'll take me to do now. But knowing how much I've improved with Microsoft PowerPoint since then, I'd estimate it to be something like one and a half hour.
