I think I am finally breaking out of my block... now, after these two good "art therapy" pieces I think I am ready to finish up my pile of trades. That should be another weight of my shoulders as well, then perhaps I can finally start a personal project of my own. A story, a comic, maybe even do some animation again (it's been so long!)... I don't know, we'll see.

This is my roleplaying character, the pirate captain Sarai, from my friend Kerry's Exalted campaign.

Current Mood: happy

At work right now, but actually enjoying myself ^_^ My boss' dog just had surgery so he brought her into the office so she didn't have to be alone. He is away on appointments all this morning so my job to keep her in my office and watch that she does not try to chew at her stitches. I think I can do that! =^___^=

I had to take a picture... here's Lindsay and the floor of my office ^_~

Current Mood: pleased
Current Music: All 80's Flashback Friday on the radio... woot!

*awakens from seemingly eternal slumber*

*blinks* Man... how many months has it been? For those you who didn't know, I have been trapped in the biggest art block of the century! (or so it seems) Plus that, my personal time has dropped to an even lower amount of hours. Lack of time, inspiration and just feeling so tired have really effected my art. I just have not been able to draw, and every time I try, it just seems to intensify my stress level. I gotta just chill... ^_^

To those of you who I still owe trades, I am so very sorry. I have not forgotten any of you and am working as best I can to catch up. Thank you all for your understanding and patience with me.

I think I'm starting to get back into the "groove". I did manage to finish one picture... yes, just one in all these months, but hey! It's something! I'm also pleased to say it is a completed drawing of Demitrius that I actually think has a reasonable likeness (for those of you who know how obsessively I had been trying to draw him).

Anyhoo, you've heard enough of me I'm sure ^_~ Here's the pic!



Here's the ink version... it's a bit different. I removed a bunch of lines in the color version.

Current Mood: tired

Roll call! Who here went to Anthrocon this year? I was just there on Saturday this year instead of the whole weekend, but still... I think I missed a lot of people! >_<

beerhorse, it was nice seeing you! I swear someday I'll get to one of your trade groups!

Current Mood: frustrated

Whew... I bet you thought I was dead. It's been what, a month and a half since my last post??? Well, it's been that long since I've drawn anything. I've been in my biggest art block yet... I need to get myself a big mallet and just break on through... better yet, I need a vacation!!!

Well, actually, I did manage to produce one piece of art during that time. brianned wanted me to draw her fursona. She wanted to be a badger with light markings and no muzzle... but I think she ended up looking a bit more like a panda >_< The muzzle would have helped to make a difference, but I think I also may have made the ears too big for a badger. I dunno, what do you think?

This picture was done with Tria and Prismacolor markers, colored pencil, acrylic ink and watercolors on Bristol. (Man, I love mixed media ^_~)

Current Mood: calm

Aeris McCain for Amanda Calico. Marker and colored pencil on Bristol. That background was supposed to be a deep turquoise... my scanner really, really hates me >_<

Current Mood: accomplished

This is interesting... I've seen others do this so I thought I'd give it a try too :) It's a neat way to see how compatible you are with your Livejournal friends.

Here's the linework before it was colored... in some ways I like this version better.
