Blathering Blaster Scythes!
Hrm, this is a test posting...seems that they've blocked access to LiveJournal finally here at work...so it may be that the only way that I'll be able to make regular entries is via a round-about method...i.e., through gmail, through various clients, etc..and considering that I most regularly update my LJ at work, we're gonna see if I can wrangle my way through, aye? *grins crookedly*
On that note - I'm gonna be working some serious overtime tonight & tomorrow, so the easiest way to get a hold of me is gonna be via email...tonight after work, probably gonna go out drinking or something, and tomorrow after work, gonna go home and set myself down at my desk and force myself to finish the pictures that I'm working on at the moment.
Last night, I made some pretty good progress with a new rough-draft of kimono_skunk, enough so that I think I should be able to successfully pull off the picture to at the very least 85% of where I'd love it to be - translation: it won't be perfect, unfortunately, at least not by my standards, but if I obsess over it, then I'm not going to move on to the next project and continue taking way too much time working on a single image. These are "training" pictures for me anyways, so I can't let myself get too caught up in them. For "paid" commissions and for personal projects, sure, but I'll be honest enough to admit that since I'm doing these mostly as a challenge to force me to expand and improve my artwork, then the more I get done and the less time I spend obsessing, the better!
Cypher: Gemini initial creative process is chugging along quite nicely, if I do say so myself! I'm debating starting up a separate development journal for it, to keep track of the creative process and to continue getting input, but that's still in the internal debate contest! ;-)
What else? *hrms* Slowly finding myself slipping back into man-hater mode, so need to shake myself out of that particular funk before I get too worked up over stuff! *blehs* Oh yeah, turning 31 in less than 3 weeks definitely doesn't help with that opinion! *laughs* Although it is inspiring me to make myself "prettier" so that I stop feeling quite so dowdy all the time. I mean, I'm a little more than passably cute, but at my age, you don't want to be cute, you wanna be sexy! *growls* So workin' on that. If all goes accordin' to plan, should be well on my way to that by the end of summer, and by this time next year, I'll be a stunner ;-P Well, maybe not, but maybe I'll finally be past the "cute twink" phase!
Anyways...gonna hit Preview & Post Entry now, see if this works or not! Wish me luck! :-P
