We're going to do a bit of a trio here...there's an amazing sale over at Society 6 with the promo code: FRESH25, ends tonight! Head over check it out! So not only is there a sale but new product, too! The newest product is not part of the sale, but the links are to the new (yup you read that right) piece on the new product. Rest assured the new piece is on tons of product that is on sale. I don't know how I managed to finish the new piece but I did it! YAY!! So the trifecta of paragraphs is almost at an end...I'm trying NOT to give you eye strain. I do try...I really do. So the link to the side and all over the page will take you to my site, as well as the purple links that I put up here.
In other huge arty art news, besides actually getting a new piece finished...a few bit the dust before this one popped in my Noggin. Painter went from 2018 to 2019...it hasn't been officially released yet...but I got an exclusive offer...as I'm sure everyone that had/has the previous version. I had to snatch it up...you don't see sales like that often. After hours...and a few more hours, I finally have my work space set up. I really like 2019...it wasn't as huge as 2018 but the UI and some other things are very cool. It's faster, too! Not sure how they manage that...they are sorcerers. Needless to say, I'm really liking it...it's making the work flow much smoother with less interruptions. I'm pretty excited about what I'll be able to do with it. I'm still a bit clogged up art wise, but there are ideas...the rough sketches aren't speaking to me...new ideas are getting through the trickle that is my inspiration.
In other news...I had a Day of Dad this week. We got our hair cut!! Mine is just a tad too short, but I still love it. I'll be updating my profile pictures after I assimilate the natural colour. Yep...the sides are my natural hair colour...and while I like it, I'm not ready to go natural colour. I told the hubby as soon as there is more grey than natural I'll stop dying it. The talented hairstylist extraordinare says I only have 3 grey hairs...I'm sure there are more...but not enough to let it go. I figure I'll dye it silver when I go grey to give it that extra oomph...but if my genes are right it will be quite a long time before I do that...maybe by then I won't care. I know, rambling...going to try my infamous pig tails today, thus far it's been a top knot of nubby fan goodness.
It was a fun week...finished a few books, yes you read that right, plural...books. As I said earlier, I'm shocked I was able to get a piece out. I'm trying not to stress about the pieces as much...I like this new year resolution of sorts...of just taking it easy and easing the pressure off of me. I think it's making me a better artist. I did do the first of the year Twitter purge...all those damn number grabbers...there were quite a few...so I think I'll be doing that possibly once a month, but more than likely every six months. I haven't been on much social media except for Facebook and Twitter...but I haven't really been doing the Twitter thing daily. The intentions are there...the time is not.
Hmmm...there was something else that I wanted to tell you...before I let you go about your merry day. I cannot for the life of me remember what it is...shocking, I know. Oh! Game! So we didn't have a game session yesterday...though a few did want it...both the hubby and I were pretty burnt out. We won't be getting together for a few weeks...charge the batteries...I have an ending to the campaign...and a good solid start to the new system...but both for sure need fine tuning and details...I'm really excited to start the new system...I love fantasy games, I do...but there is so much more I can do in a modern day genre...maybe it's the messed up books I read...or maybe I'm just screwy in the head...I'm thinking it's a combination of both. Either way, I have ideas...and I think that's where some of the arty art inspiration is going to.
On that note, minions, I leave you here, with possible eye strain. Again, make sure to check out the sale over at Society 6, it ends fast. Enjoy your week and I will see you in July...wow, where did June go?
