My pants are not on fire! I will be doing the full update until Wednesday. Why, you may or may not be asking but I'll be telling you anyways? Well I was up way too late for my poor body and I am not able to focus on doing a full update...that and I'm running really behind on the day. You know those headaches you get from not sleeping enough, that hungover feeling without the fun of being drunk to get said hangover? Yeah, that's me right now. Wouldn't change it, and there will be more on that later....I almost did the full update, and looked at the time and said...no huh uh. The benefits of being your own boss. It's for sure got it's pros and cons...
Onto the art news. I'm arting...I'm not satisfied...almost blocked...but not quite. I'm just not getting that feel of a job well done. I did, however, learn a lot more about the digital arting process, even about what format to save in. Plus a lot of just getting over fears, and trying to not emulate, still. That's the hard part for me. I'm still working things out in my noggin' but it's actually coming along. Slowly...ever so slowly. Watched a lot from traditional vs digital to just pure digital stuff. Since I do plan on remaining digital as my primary source of things...learning is always essential, even when you think you know it all, which I didn't, you still learn more. I'm working on a piece that may or may not go anywhere...I'm not sure yet. The downside to watching all those video's is you see all these really amazing artists', some were waaay more skilled than me, but others' weren't. Is trying to emulate their style...I am still reminding myself to NOT do that...I learned a ton...and don't regret watching, despite the almost block going on right now...but I just have to keep plugging along...and I also need to do several things...to get over some of the fears, doubts, etc. I know what I have to do...there are no time stamped goals set, that's way too much pressure, but I think I'm on the right path....my style, path. It's so easy to lose your way...
The more part feeds into the why the full update is not happening....it was gaming night last night. I blundered, tripped, stumbled, but also did really great as well...the group wanted to keep going as the clock was reading 2a.m....I can't do that anymore...heck I can't do 1a.m. It was totally worth the raging headache I have...and with life and art, there were mistakes made, the main thing, everyone had fun. We were one player short, and luckily his absence didn't disrupt the game. The game went on and on....and on. We were a bit unfocused, but this was our first session of the year. It's really hard sometimes to put your creations out there...art and story wise. I think story wise is a bit worse because you are seeing real time reactions, where when I put my art up, I rarely get comments, and I really don't see the reactions, for better or worse. Okay, I feel a ramble of sleep deprivation coming on...let's end this, shall we?
On that note, it is going to be busy again this week, Dad day was postponed due to the Dad having the plague of sorts. So this week? 2017 has been wrought with ups and downs...a lot of weird downs...and not as many ups. ((sigh)) Such is life. I am celebrating the ups, trying to move past and not dwell on the downs and just get shit done. All we can do, right? Well my minions, I will leave you with that. Until hump day, and a full update! Toodles!
