More happenings in life, the universe and everything
Got another project in from a client. It's the second book of a seven-part series. Once more, doing the illustrations for it. :) Can't divulge any more details than that, since I'm under contract, but so far so good.
Also working on a children's book of my own, of my own writing and illustrations. Since the goal is be self-sufficient by my own projects, it will serve as both a portfolio piece, hopefully generate a little bit of modest income, and basically be a more long-term investment. Little bit on the back burner right now since client work takes the priority, but it's there.
So yeah, got some work to keep myself busy.
Pretty much moved most of my fangirling to my tumblr blog. It's an appropriate place for said fangirling. Also, the occasional art shows up there. It's either a legacy post, where I post some older art, or something new. Really into Dragon's Dogma. :D Like you wouldn't believe. As in, Legend of Mana levels of fangirl obsession. Dragon's Dogma is getting back into art and fics like you wouldn't believe. Dang Capcom, you've done some serious good. :D
I'm a little ambivalent on going to AWA this year. On one hand, it's something of a tradition for me now. A weekend that I can look forward to attending a fun event, doing fun things, seeing all of the wonderful art and costumes, getting the occasional geeky goody here and there, and have a lovely time. I've been going ever since I was fourteen, and since I am 24 now, it would be a full decade of attending AWA, even if it's just for a day. On the other hand, admission has gotten more expensive as the years went on, and I really need to use the money to save in my little nest egg I've set up for myself and pay off those dreaded student loans on a consistent basis. And even if I go, I would be on a tight budget.
On the other hand, it would be nice to just go and half a blast for the day, geek out in a convention full of like-minded people, have fun and enjoy myself. It's something that I look forward too all year, every year, and my con experiences have always been positive. I suppose the pros outweigh the cons again. XD
In other news... Things are doing alright. Hope things are alright for y'all.
