I will start with the art news first, so that those that don't want to read about the adventures don't have to...see how much I take care of you, my loyal minions? I do try my very hardest...
So Society 6 got a new uploader of the art. This is purely my end of things, so you have no worries. I, on the other hand, have a lot of learning and editing to do...I do have new art up there, so while this isn't a full update day, all those that read my drivel...errr...I mean blog, will get a sneak preview, if they are up...lol. It's new technology, I'm expecting some delays. I put 2 new pieces up...thankfully not any more than that...it for sure is a learning curve. I do like it, though...despite my frustration. I see a lot of merits and not a lot of cons. It means more control for me and what I put on what product, before I really didn't have too much of a choice...now I do...muhahahahahaha!! The power, the control....the...the...longer time it takes to upload my art. It's good. I just have to get used to it. I'm sure you will all like it and if you see a piece that isn't on a product you would like it on, you can pester me now! Speaking of which...
We are getting closer to the 200! Welcome new minions! We aren't there yet...so please, I beg of you, head over to Facebook and invite your friends on your list...share the link. You honestly didn't think I was going to not pester you this blog did you?! The quicker you help the pestering ends...at least for a month or so, then I'll start on the Twitter thing. I will give you a break...a special piece and a thank you piece that while there will be restrictions, it will be your very own. How's that for incentive?!
Onto the trending piece...yeah, still working on it, solely, lately. This piece I'm going to guess is going to be over 100 hours. Traditionally, I bet it wouldn't take that long...but then I wouldn't be working at the detail level I'm working at. It would take a bit, though. I wanted to go digital for it. It's really shaping up nicely. Like I said in previous blogs, it will probably not be trending by the time I'm done with it. I do plan on putting more hours in this week, last week was very busy...which we'll get to in a bit. I also do want to split my focus a bit and do some pure abstract whatever comes onto the canvas...not quite an urge yet, but it's getting there. So many ideas are written down...and there are beasties waiting to be created. Lately I've just been very content and happy working on the Trending piece...nothing wrong with that. Just really need to focus on one thing and not spread myself too thin. This piece will bleed over to the new beasties...which is exciting.
Okay, for all those that aren't interesting in non-art news may leave now. Thanks for visiting...and remember to share and invite, etc. Hope you have a lovely Monday and see you on the day that is hump...for those that are staying...well let's go!
This past week was so incredibly busy and fun...which didn't leave a whole lot of time for arting...though I did sneak in as much as I could. I had my dear friend and her kidlets out. Which meant me really cleaning the apartment more than usual, the kidlets are all 3 and under. There are 3 of them a set of twin boys' and a little girl. So much fun...still don't know how my friend does it and stays sane...They wear me out, in the best of possible ways...except when there are near miss accidents...and acrobatics...my apartment is not kid friendly. Although, they seem to have fun. It was pretty back to back on the busy scale of real life stuff...my art is it's own realm...where I get to create worlds'...the real world while fun, is much harder on the back. Yeah, I did my workout before they came over...and lifting kidlets and lunging with them...gave me a workout of insanity. There were smiles, laughter, some tears...and a whole lot of fun. Oh and half conversations for us adults...
My gaming adventures are still on hiatus, waiting for a patch that was a game ruiner for me. I'm looking...waiting...and getting art done whilst the waiting is happening. Which is not a bad thing. I am still doing the working out...and amping up my routines...I used to personal train and be an artist...but that was a long time ago. I swear every time I do my cardio I think, "This is it, I'm going to die." I am loving it...it does take away from arting, but it's a necessary evil...and I wouldn't even call it evil, I'm addicted to it. Even when it leaves my arms a goopy non-art creating mess. After an hour or so I'm good and can art again. Usually...there have been overboard days, though. Oops.
On that pointless note...I will leave you to go back to work. I will be back on the hump day, hopefully with more news...and more pestering, some shenanigans'. It won't be a big update as the peanut gallery has the day off and since that's extremely rare...I would like to take advantage of it. Not him...you dirty dirty minions! Though....anyways...on that note...I hope your Monday goes fast and the coffee is strong! Until hump day minions! Toodles!
