In no real particular order.

ART LIST

-Bone Griffon ships: done, just need to do the removable decking pieces, the trebuchet, and the damned whales (pun totally intended, as they actually are undead whales...)

-Orcs: Still need to touch up the nicked ones, and fully paint about 4 individual pieces.

-Dark Elves: Most are half painted, about about 3-4 are just primed. Thank goodness they aren't toooooo bad. Just need to DO them. I think the assassin'll be the one who ends up giving me the most trouble.

-Put batteries in digital camera (grrr) and see if I can get some decent shots of my finished bottlecap pendants. THEN find the cord that lets me plug in the camera to the computer. Camera was a bust... apparently, the one we have just doesn't like being up close and personal. I HATE digital crap....)

-Finish my new ankh necklace... IF I can find the stones/beads for it that are "just right" (this on in particular sucks, because I REALLY want to work on it, but somehow, until I get the stones/beads, I just can't... talk about artistic frustration, LOL)

-I've got 1/2 to 2/3 of my first short story written, now I just need to type what I've got. One, so it's typed and I can do easy editing, and two, because it wouldn't surprise me that as I type what I have, the rest may come...

-Comic project. I have GOT to sit down and take the thumbs I've done and transfer them to the proper boards. IF I can get over feeling like I'm just not good enough to do it. (note- I hate backgrounds. I'm beginning to think maybe I'm more a pin-up/tattoo sort of artist than a sequential art sort of artist... But we'll see...)

-I found out that they actually sell sets of little artist trading cards, so I picked up a pack. I've always loved little bits of art like that and really, there's no reason I shouldn't. I think my first one is going to be one from a tattoo design I'm in the middle of doing.... CEP, that's all I'm gonna say on that... but the letters will be clear when I get it done. *evil squee sort of laugh* I may even do that one tonight after I'm done here.. DONE! Bwahahahahaha!! I even uploaded it to... and now you shall see what CEP stands for. And hopefully find them as adorably cute as I do.

-Speaking of which, I need to scan said tattoo, so I can print out part of it, to flip it and use a lightbox so I can get both sides symmetrical. Or use the lightbox for the copy, then use it again to get it done... either way. I need to do it, if nothing else so I can make a copy of the FULL piece so I can color it, too.

-I've got a few more prints I'd like to color... BUT.... my art desk is currently in 3D mode, not 2D mode... so until I either finish some of my 3D projects, and/or clean the damn thing off... it's likely to stay that way. Which sucks, because I've kinda been in the mood to work on those, too.

-Sun's project. Working on that a little bit at a time, so it's coming together, if impossibly slowly. (mental note- next time, IF there's a next time, go smaller! LOL)

-Need to find a weekend to take a trip with my dad out to the beach to find shells to fix his picture.

-create the mold I want to try.... learn how to work with resin... If this works, it will be AWESOME! Mold has been started. I lost patience with a bunch of thin layers, so I just dipped the damn thing in the mold compound, and am letting it dry. Will likely do this a few more times... Patience like THAT I can do, because then I can at least do other stuff while I wait... *is much excited*


As for the non-art stuff.... the yard work continues to go well. This will be the fourth weekend in a row, and I'm pleased with the progress made. Especially so since I've been the one to do most of it! Next weekend we clean out the shed- the precursor to it being torn down here in probably a month or so... The inside of the house is, well.. still the inside, BUT we haven't gotten worse. We've KEPT the purple room completely clean. The office is not that far behind (I'd KILL for a small fling cabinet, though, for all my paperwork crap). The living room is likely about on par with the office, if just because we're always in it, but it still only takes a short bit of time to clean. The rest of the house has been likewise pretty much stagnant. Not exactly great news for some of the rooms, but at least they aren't any worse than they were to begin with. And it's looking like "my corner" is going to get a much needed purging sometime here in the next month or so... I'll admit I'm a bit worried, but it probably won't be as bad as I think.

Anyway... that's it for now... I'm going to go either go to bed, or maybe start my trading card. Not sure yet. Either way though, I'm off for the night.

Later.
