Well, that one took long enough.

gracedpalmerNew art, and it's even quasi-original! I actually started this one last April, or so says the stamp on the file.
Most everyone has a high school/middle school novel, and I am no exception. I think I got about 250 pages in before I wiped it and started over once. It'll never see the light of day without serious reworking, since most of it was rehashing whatever I'd read recently. But that doesn't mean I can't mine my childhood for art ideas. I deliberately retained a number of artifacts of my pre-college style - masculine face structure, the sword design, purple eyes (purple eyes?). Paint Tool Sai and Photoshop, 11x13 (and I have no idea why it ended up being that size).
In other news, I'm doing pretty well for a February - I've been going out and doing things, the whole 9 yards. Mind you, they haven't been very important things. Depression still exists, but I'm not having trouble meeting work quota the way I was in January.
Not looking forward to impending dental appointment, haven't cleaned apartment properly in ages. Am looking forward to the possiblity that the warm weather tomorrow will melt my car out before I need to dig it out.
Off to make myself a sweet lassi and wish I had mangoes in the house.
