Recovering
It may not be the prettiest spring weather out, but I'm feeling loads better now. My "super cold" has more or less passed on and my voice is at 90%. I can't control it quite as well as I'd like, pitch wise, but this hardly matters, as I'm not much of a singer, ha!
I'd missed two days of work as a result, which made me super anxious. I was feeling well enough to go in on Thursday, which was nice. I've had Friday and Saturday off as I'm normally scheduled off on these days, but I'll be going in early tomorrow (Sunday) morning, ugh! I feel as though I've hardly managed anything at all this week. I'm so lazy it makes me SICK. Hmm, maybe that's why? >.>
There are plenty of small things that still need doing, including all those little projects I should get back to work on. Most of these "little projects" come from co-workers, actually... I'm drawing boreal and burrowing owls for one of them. Maybe I'll post sketches of them when they're more finished? And there are those Markhor sketches, I should do even more of them. :D So many sketches, hardly anything finished, this is embarrassing. XD
I do have something tentatively finished, however... a color reference for my pallanoph character Tjora, which was initially intended to be a simple color study.
As you can see, I did get a little carried away. I started the image in Corel Painter (I only have Essentials 4, so yeah) and after I had most of the color roughed in and placed, I moved it into photoshop to do the additional tweaking, etc. I hadn't always envisioned her with the darker "stockings", that was a recent decision. I rather like the result. Otherwise she'd have the standard cream markings on her lower legs. If you have any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear them. Her mane is a bit off, though, so I'll have to fuss with that so it looks a bit more natural... it's a continuation of the ruff about her neck, in a sense, and doesn't lay very neatly. Just plain awkward! Might post on dA tomorrow if I feel it's worth seeing. It needs more to it!
Also, rumor has it I turn 24 tomorrow. >.> I don't have any feelings one way or another towards this, only I'm quite certain my brain has regressed to that of a 14 year old, HA. It's at least 10 years behind my body! Oh well, I'll live with it somehow. XD
