Some work and random thoughts for the day
Well, determination paid off and I actually managed to get some work done today. I laid down some very basic patterns for my Viking figure and the Clan Eshin Rat Ogre. And I finished the High Elf Shadow Warrior. I'm rather pleased with how he came out; the color scheme works well and even though I did a bit of improvising, I still managed to follow the original concept I had in mind when I primered him. Now all I have to do is get my hands on a working camera, digital preferably, and a site to host some images so I can show my work.
I feel really tapped out right now though; I'm not entirely sure what's so taxing me, but it bothers me more than a little that I feel so wiped right now. I'm relatively sure that I'm fighting off something as far as illnesses go; that's one of the many negative points about not being able to leave the house much.. I basically have a pathetically weak immune system right now. But that's not all that's bothering me, and I can't manage to put my finger on any of the other things. I hate when that happens, I always feel like I waste too much time trying to actually identify what's wrong and not enough time doing anything about it.
We finally worked our way through the first season of Forever Knight; I forgot how much I really liked that show. I wonder if they ever realesed any of the music on cd. Its something I'll have to look for the next time we're at the mall. Now I'm sitting here wondering when they'll release the next season. I can't remember right now how many season there actually were, but I think its something like 4 or 5. I hope they release all of them.
I feel the vague beginning of creative inspiration, and as usual its making me restless. Even though I've dealt with this for something like ten years now, I still get anxious when inspiration starts; its the constant question of what form it will take that does it to me. And its no good narrowing my field of choices, all that does is frustrate me. I've said it before and I'll say it again; I may have talent, but I don't control it, it controls me. Not that that really bothers me, its just gets a little irksome every now and again. Maybe this time I'll try drawing, something I haven't done seriously in a while. Who knows? *shrugs*
You know, I think I've managed to pin down part of what's bothering me... for so late in the year, it certainly doesn't feel like Autumn/Winter. We've had a couple of cold days here, but for the most part its been more like Spring. When the seasonal weather gets out of whack like this, it makes me edgy. I think it has more to do with the improper shifting of seasons than anything else though. I can't wait until the first real snowfall; it always seems so magical. *smiles*
Well, I'm going to go do some reading and try and get some rest. Figured I'd just jot down some random stuff about today's events.
