So my pants are fiery again. ((sigh)) I didn't get a whole lot of arting done...but in my humble defense last week was insane in the adulting aspect. When I got a chance to art I was just too unfocused and drained. It was one of those weeks, which we'll get into in the "More" section of the blog. Yup, I'll be getting somewhat personal, well as personal as I get. I am planning on arting this week and it actually looks like that it may actually happen. I have checked the schedule and it is pretty much adulting free. Minus what I call the "everyday's" but those happen everyday, so I'm used to that. Okay, let's get into the arting news...
This morning, before the updates began, I submitted my piece to the contest I was invited to from Corel. I knew I wouldn't be able to create a new piece by the deadline, so I took the strongest piece I had and submitted to it. No turning back...everything to gain and nothing to lose. I'm a tiny fish in that vast ocean of artists...as well as most of the sites I am on. Sometimes it does get a bit overwhelming. If I don't take the risk, or the the chance, then I'll never get anywhere...or where I want to be. Yeah, it's one of those mindsets. I'm hoping being able to sit down and art will knock that negativity right out of me. It usually does. I am having the urges and ideas to art...just the adulting part of life...just got a bit to adulty this past week.
Well we've hit the more part. I didn't know if I was going to tell anyone about the event that halted all arting, well a lot of it, not all of it. My Nana passed away a couple of weeks ago and the funeral was this past Saturday. I wasn't able to physically attend, but my family did Skype me in. The past few weeks have been sad. She was 93 and had Alzheimer's the surgery she had to have was just too much for her. She was a Rosy the Riveter. A tough lady, and just the best Nana. I have many fond memories of her. There was a lot more going on during this past week that just sucked the motivation and energy out of me. It was busy, and chaotic. Now the dust is settling...I'm sure my art will reflect on the past week or so. I'm okay, made it through...she'd kick my ass if I wasn't okay.
In more, more news...we had an on, then off, then on and then ultimately off gaming session that didn't happen yesterday. I had the session planned, but it just was unfocused and not good enough. It sucks that I had to be the one to cancel it, but it had to be that way. I was so scattered...not a good thing for a DM to be. We have a date set, far off, but hopefully things will work out where we can do it a bit sooner. Doubtful, but it gives me more time, the skeleton of the game is solid, just need to re-flesh it out and make it up to my standards.
On that note minions and some minor eye strain. I have quite a bit to do and time's seemingly not on my side, no it isn't...again. I hope you all have a great week, I will see you on the day that is hump! Until then, I bid you an adieu.
