The news, I think I've really made a big old crack in the block I've been going through. I had a great idea that I didn't have a lot of time to work on, yesterday, but I plan on finishing it up today. If all goes right. I don't see why not...but you just never know. There are art pieces up on Society 6 for your viewing and purchasing pleasure! Just two this week. I'm saving my art in a different format and well, it takes a LOT longer to get them uploaded since they are bigger files. That said, they are also not getting compromised at all. During my block, I watched a lot of video's about digital arting. From tutorials to just Vlogs of other artists' and their advice. It really seemed to help. Some of them were amazing, others just meh. I think none of them were a waste of time. I took away bits and pieces of information and learning...and just kind of let the block alone instead of fussing and worrying over it...then all of a sudden inspiration struck in an odd and funny way, and off I went. Getting some new brushes for my program for sure helped. Creating my own, helped. It's not sitting and waiting for the block to go away...I was pretty proactive about chipping away at it...well it's for sure got a chunk missing...hoping the block will go back and lick it's wounds until next time, soon.
In other news...I think the lack of sun, which usually doesn't bother me was getting to me and affecting my art and empowering the block. Granted, yesterday was snowy and blustery, but I woke up to blue skies and sun this morning, along with amazing coffee! I almost forgot what the sun looked like. I guess according to one of the weather channels I follow, it has been one of the gloomiest, sunless winters in a long while. I don't know what's changed in me that it actually affected me, but I'm sure loving this blue skies, sunny day...I don't mind the cold. I'm even hesitant to say I actually am looking forward to spring. Weird. Winter was my season. This year, not so much. It's one of those cases of having to put my big girl panties on and just deal with it, it isn't going away, I don't have that kind of power. I am still in a bit of shock that it's February already. Time is just seeming to fly for me, at least, another relative thing, that time stuff. I bet quite a few of you thought January would never end, meanwhile I blinked and it was over.
I feel a ramble coming on...so I stopped it! Go me! I did want to say in the other other of otherness news that my game session was created and done yesterday. Hence why the arting didn't get done. Or not a lot of it did. I'm glad I got it out of my noggin' onto paper than typed and printed. It's fun to plan a game...but stressing as well. The stress comes in because you can't just plan too far ahead...you don't know what your players' are going to do. I am very lucky on having amazing players...they make me laugh, derail my game sometimes, but it forces me to improv, which the rust is still there...but I'm getting to be a shiny DM. Slowly. I do like to plan ahead...and I'm really trying to let go that I can't do that in this scenario. To enjoy how the players' take what I've given and make it there own...and then go from there. It's all about how you look at things...another relative thought is brewing, uh oh...
Instead of being a windbag of windbagginess...I will spare you, dear minions, and send you off to your day! I hope the weekend comes quickly and the weekend slows to a creepy crawly slow weekend. I am not sure if I'll be blogging on Friday...maybe, maybe not. You'll just have to wait in suspense...you won't be alone, as I have no idea, either! Until next time my minions! Be safe, and have an awesome hump day! Toodles!
