What is this purge that I speak of in the title you may ask? If you aren't asking you're going to find out anyways...roll with it. Well, it's about Twitter. Yes, this is going to be a "rants in my pants" moment. I do love the Twitter, even though I can't figure it out 100% no matter how I try. What I'm not so fond of, and I'm being extremely generous and trying to edit a noggin blow up...is the people/companies/groups, etc. that will follow you, only to unfollow you to pad their precious numbers. That pisses me off, big time. I go through (not as frequently these days) and I do watch. I generally will follow back, I have rules of my own for following back and even following. I will get in to that. So, if you are on Twitter there's the purple buttons and letters to head over and follow me. If you're looking to pad your numbers, don't bother. I found quite a few this "scan" and while I didn't direct message a scolding, this time, I have in the past. It's a pet peeve of mine...a big one.
Okay, so what are my rules for following or not? Well having an actual profile is nice. Links to websites...art I like...even art I don't like. I try and support artists', even if their stuff isn't my cup of tea. I also follow the Youtubers I watch, and I don't expect follow backs from them. Or others' that are very big fish in the vast ocean of the Twitterland. I don't follow the sites that promise you more follows for a price, either. Or excessive nudity, even if it's art. I do have my limits...and while the art can be amazing, it's just beyond my cup of tea for that. I am still a bit miffed on the number padders...they really do piss me off. If I follow or don't I usually will drop a line saying thank you...met a lot of amazing folk on Twitter. I think the rant is over...on to fun stuff...
I finished the creepiest piece to date, yesterday. I'm hoping to get it resized and ready to go for the update of Mondayness over at Society 6. Still going to stick with just 2 pieces a week, as it's given me a lot more time to do the arting. I may do an odd 4 piece here and there, especially if there are sales but for the most part, 2 is good. I've been going through older art and just marveling at my journey. I am trying to start the cheeky dark sketch, so far I haven't found the right texture for the first part of it...so not much progress has been made. I have some ideas of what I'm going to need to do. The mulling of what medium I want it in was a big one. I finally ruled watercolour out, at least for this piece. It won't do it any justice as it needs to be bold, not soft. Maybe next piece I'll try and specifically go for the watercolour. I am finding myself really favouring oils for my go to. I'm trying to step out of that box...but I have a feeling at least for the medium the box will remain, the actual composition is waaaay outside of my comfort zone of boxiness.
The more...we're almost there minions!! We have a gaming session this weekend...confirmed. The game is pretty much done, just need to go over it and get familiar with it...some of the content is older, as we didn't make it through...and it's been a long stretch in between...I blame the Easter Bunny for the most part. It does make me a bit apathetic towards the game when it's this far apart. I get focused on other things...things I really should be focused on, like arting...but I know I do need to mix it up, that balance thing...Today is workout day and start cleaning a bit. I'm going to push myself a little harder today, no squats and very little lunges...but I do need to push myself a bit. No overdoing it...just a bit more. I didn't get that exercise high last time, but my knee wasn't quite happy. My knee is feeling better, so I think if I can take it easy on the knees all will be well. I get enough lower body workout to make me happy, it isn't the "trouble" spot, anyways.
On that note, my minions. I hope your day flies by and your weekend is filled with fun and relaxing days that just drag on at a slow pace. Until Monday, with a full update and a sleep deprived me...I shall bid you an adieu.
