My pants are aflame today...there are no new pieces up on Society 6 and it's not the uploaders fault. I take full responsibility...I didn't even test to see if the uploader was lagging. I just didn't get the time. I dropped the proverbial ball. Guess what? I'm okay with that. I really was planning on an upload today, but I got thinking, "Self, you really need to prioritize and get the program to your liking so you can do the arting that isn't just pure abstract." The conversation was longer than that, but that's pretty much the gist of it. That and I'm really not ready to do more than one full update day, I did that when I was getting rid of the safety net. I admit it, was stressful. Needless to say the new art will continue to debut on Monday on Society 6. If there's a special promo or sale going on I might do a special full update day, but other than that. No. I need time to art, to do my adulting stuff, and have time for me. The balance got waaay off in my noggin'...and it just was too much for it to handle.
With that out of the way...in arty art news...I'm STILL working on tweaking brushes. It's funny, it's not like traditional where you have a medium or maybe 3 and a few favourite brushes...my program has upward toward 1000 brushes. I didn't count, nor will I. I do admit I don't use them all...and I'm skipping some mediums the poor PC cannot handle at this point...soon it will. I do, however, use a LOT of mediums in the program and I need to get them set up, again. Bad thing about a new upgraded software. I hate breaking momentum when I'm arting...it takes me completely out of the zone and generally ruins the flow...so I've been doing more of that, than anything....
That being said, I have a lot of ideas floating around in my noggin' I may just sketch some out today, so I have them solidly down. I also want to experiment with a few things I learned from the tutorials I've been watching. I have a new safety net of sorts, of the fluid art, pure abstract, and I do love them, I need to learn a bit more about the art style to marry it into my other styles. All in good time. Even going through the brushes, has given me ideas...of things I'd like to try out, not to mention the new mediums that they released...I'll have a LOT of fun with that one since texture and build up of paint is, in my humble opinion, pleasing to the eyes. I am hoping to be done this weekend at some point and arting again. Like I said, sketches I can do, starting a full piece, not yet. My noggin' works in a methodical kind of non-artistic way, I'm quite the conundrum when it comes to how my noggin' works and that I'm an artist. I'm good with it. The feels aren't in control...it's pretty logical...and on that note, in funner news...
Have quite a bit of fun news...and ouch news...which is funny now, kind of. Bashed my knee on my PC desk so hard it bruised. Ouch...the grrr part? Same side as my foot, which is doing better, not 100% but a lot better...I will be working out today...dammit. I'm by no means a creature of grace...peanut gallery says I need a bubble wrap suit of armour to protect me from myself. I can't really argue that. From the knicking of fingers to running into things...I think it's my noggin goes to fast for my body to keep up. That's what I'm sticking to.
Still haven't set a game session up, although, that's getting closer, too. I will have to plan a bit more...which always feels like a mountain until I sit down and then it's not even a molehill, it's an anthill. The story telling just flows out of me, like the day after going to a really cheap hole in the wall diner of greasiness...bet you're going to need some brain bleach for THAT visual...there was one more in more that I wanted to tell you all, but it has gone into the void of my noggin'. Well I guess that is what Monday is for...
On that note, wasn't too long...remember to head over to Society 6 and check the art out. If you've done that, I will see you Monday for a hopefully full 4 piece update day. They are ready to go...just I'm not. I'm good with that. Hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend! Until the Monday blog of bloggery....
