Bullet Note Update:
- Sunday, there was a fire drill from 12:40am to 4:40am (so I suppose this is Monday), due to an actual fire. It was a fire in a trashcan that was dealt with, on the 6th floor, but the far side of the 4th and 2nd floors got water damage from the sprinklers. I'm 1st floor and glad, but was pretty angry about having 8:30 classes all week after that late-night fiasco.
- My grandfather passed this Monday.
- I got shit because I apparently wasn't consoling enough over IM when Mom told me about this.
- Early Wednesday morning, we had another fire, 2:30 to 3:30 about. It took the fire department a good 25-30 minutes to show up, which we bring up at the mandatory fire safety meeting we wind up attending. It takes all of my intelligence and self-restraint not to raise my hand and ask the cop in charge how much trouble I'd be in for strangling the perp' once found.
- I slept like a motherfucker all weekend and now it's time to start again Monday. WHOO.
I don't need consoling over my grandfather; I'm dealing. Went to all my classes and pulled off my week as per usual, despite the toss into emotionalville. But while I understand the urge to offer apologies, at this point, "I'm sorry"s are very much NOT needed. Thanks for the thoughts, though!
Between all this and my art classes, I am a semi-busy bee. I think 2-3 of the people currently on queue for my $5 sketches read this, so, I'd like to extend advanced apologies for those potentially taking a little while. I feel guilty already, so, we'll see if I can manage to pump them out. Any patience is appreciated, though, much hugs and love.
- Another concept I wound up not using, a cafe scene with Nick and Patricia (Solar's character) and Jamie (Tabby's) up front.
- A concept I DID wind up using at my teacher's suggestion. She seemed to really enjoy what I considered my "boring" concepts. Go figure! Tarquel is bored.
- Another concept that I DID wind up using. It's not as boring, but I also pushed for it, so don't let your impression for my teacher's tastes change.
- Sadly, I like this SO much better than the final image. Nick is ver angry about some punk hassling him in an alleyway (you could not pay me enough to harass someone like Nick, but to each their own). I noted that he was sleazy because he looks pretty perky happy "HUG ME". He wound up being a hyena in the final image.
- Yes, I will eventually be tossing the actual final images up, but it's all about the backlog, which we already know. (: Both are up on DA and FA anyhow.
I woke up in a bad mood. C'mawn, powers that be, I ALREADY don't like Sunday's much (how much can I like the day that transitions me from weekend to week?), don't make me wake up pissy.
Part of me wants to take a page out of Vince's book and toss up the raging icon as my default for a bit, but I think I'll suffice with just usin' it for this post instead.
