Or just make a dog and tell them that a porcupine's quills only come up when it's scared. They're such a nice kid that the porcupine has nothing to be afraid of.
Fitz, If you'll try mine, I'll try yours. Actually, If I follow what you're saying, yours sounds more impressive while mine might be quicker for line work.
I use the timeconsuming and also the "that is a good one really have to think about that one tonight, you know what when you invite me next time I show you what I figured out"
I also always have a menuboard with me with about 40 figures I can make quiet fast, without thinking. When the audience really start to go too wild on what they ask. I shovel them the menu under their nose.
I can asure you you don't want a porcupine. A porcupine will really take me such a long time that you all including me will fall asleep from boringness halfway the making. Then when it is finally finished you all will be disapointed about the result.
Sorry I'm not going to make a porcupine it will destroy all the other ballonanimals I made with his quill.
He it's a porcupine, the quills you have to imagine them yourself.
If it's still not satisfied give it a marker. "here you may draw the quills on it yourself".
A centipede: Give a straight balloon and a marker. Sorry but the legs you have to draw them yourself.
Make the child a bear, "here is your cow". What do you mean it doesn't look like a cow? Well to me it does. You just have to imagine the horns here and the udder here and how much more do you want it to look like a cow.
Give a round balloon. Sure it's a ..... it is only in his eggstage. Just leave it 2 weeks next to your bed and just wait until it hatches. Sorry I'm just kidding I think you prefer to have a bolloon that looks good straight away and I'm sure a parrot looks much better than a ..... so here you've got a nice looking parrot and especially for you I also gave the parrot a swing.
It's a police..... in dogdisguise. Don't you think hes good in disguising I don't even recognise it as a .....
A car? Do you have your driverslicence? No.. Well I better make you a motorcycle then.
What did you think lets ask the clown for a ..... Ha ha lets give the clown a hard time. You can also just ask me to make you the hardest balloonfigure I know. Then make with a face as if you have a hard time a dog
A well just be creative in talking yourself out of it I would say.
