We'll start with there is a new piece of art on Society 6 today! Not only that, but there's also a flash sale of sorts. You will need a promo code of REFRESH25. The new piece isn't a super creepy piece, but I really like it. First time I was really happy with the sky. Spacey. I love space...but I have yet to harness the tools to be able to really get a good space feel in my pieces. I think I did it with this one. So there will be mountains AND space backgrounds. I'm currently working on a, what could be, a very very creepy piece, IF I can pull it off. Even if I can minus the very's, it'll still be creepy.
Okay more arty art news. I have not only a nearly perfect chair, the gaming chair has returned to the mother ship...I sat in this one and fell in love. Nothing is going to be perfect...but this one...is more suited to what I need. I digress, I am working on the new piece as I stated above, but I also have about 4 rough sketches in my file waiting for me. I had a burst of ideas and my back is feeling okay, despite the busy week, I got a lot of rough sketches done plus finished the new piece up, again there's a sale on Society 6...ending fast. The newest piece I'm working on is coming along, it is in it's infancy stage. I don't have a busy week this week...and how grateful I am for that. I got some new music to listen to while arting to give me that oomph. The hubby was playing Fallout 4 as I was arting and listening to my mix and he told me to pause his music and put on the music that was in the game. Instant love. I love that era of music...I now have many many many hours worth of that kind of music on top of the older stuff I have as well. YAY! This is a bit different. I love the campy, kitschy feel...there's a segue card coming, in a round' about way...so be patient...
We had our 3rd back to back game session last night, hence me being sleep deprived. We were missing one player, and she was missed. The game went great. As the guys' were coming in, one of them asked what the hell I was listening to...I told him...then the hubby and him went on to talk about the game. That music inspires me. I digress, the game was very good. They threw me off course, I threw myself off course, but all in all, it ended well. I think the funniest moment was a wyrmling they were fighting. Our daring monk, with help of our paladin launched himself into the air and caught a hold of the dragon's foot. In a desperate effort to kill the beastie, said monk told our ranger to fire an arrow at him, so that he could catch it...yeah...critical fail roll of 1...that hit the dragon instead...and killed it...thankfully the monk landed safely and all was well...but we were joking about it before the roll happened. Our poor ranger was rolling a lot of one's. This one actually turned out for the better. It was very amusing...and the lesson, my minions, is even if you critically fail, doesn't mean good can't come out of it.
A bit more of more news and then I'm outta here. My eyes...my noggin...ugh. The day of Dad was very good. We had fun, got quite a bit done and then just relaxed. Always a good time. This week I don't have an impromptu game to plan and tweak, just all art and reading. I'm really hoping to get a lot done...so far nothing has sprung up out of the blue to stop me from a arty art week. I'm really hoping to get a lot done. OH!!! I started to workout again...started at the very beginning. It's kind of boring, but it is challenging my back a bit. I figure I'll be doing the cardio portion until my back is not challenged. I added Yoga back into the mix and ahhhhh. I think that's where I went wrong. I was bored with it, and just took it out. Which I didn't realize how much it was really helping. So it's here to stay. Means a bit more time working out, but if it means not doing that back thing again, it was extremely painful for weeks...I'm willing to keep the yoga in.
On that rambling note...I do apologise for the eye strain. I blame sleep deprivation and there is not enough coffee on the planet to fix this...I've been sleep deprived since the back, but add a very late night and you get a very sleep deprived me that is functioning on fumes...I will see you next Monday, hopefully with lots of arty art news! Until then dear minions, go, get those eye drops and more coffee...I'm outta here!
