Quiet NOT so Busy TIme....

Sun Oct 4, 2009, 12:05 PM
So, yeah. I've been really quiet lately... Haven't gone a whole lot art wise.

I got a bunch of bottlecap pendants done before Con, so that's good. (I will try and get a decent pic of them all up soon), and delivered the three I had commissions for (one of which I DO have a pic for)..

Haven't touched the comic in a while, which I REALLY need to do... Such a shame I've only got one art desk, lol. Oh well, even if I did have a second one, I've nowhere to put it..

The one I do have is currently flat, as I have been painting figs instead of drawing comic pages. On the plus side, the Bone Griffon fleet is almost done. Well, the ships are, for the most part. I have some sails and some decks to do, and the 6 undead whales... but the ships are almost done. Once I've got them complete I may take a break and see what I can get done on the comic.

Other than that, I don't have much to report, other than it seems like ever since I decided to do jewelry with bottlecaps, I see it more and more. I don't know if that's just my luck, or if it's just that I started noticing it more, or some combination thereof... It's ALMOST a little discouraging. But, oh well. I'll keep doing what I'm doing, because I DO like them, and I haven't seen anyone else put chainmail on them (thank the gods for THAT)... And I have a few other ideas in the works for them too, as soon as I get the logistics figured out. May go out and look at stuff for that today....

Oh, and if ANYONE has worked with resin, and is willing to tell me what it's like to work with, I'd be much appreciative. I don't need to know WHAT you do with it, just what it is like to work with- easy, hard, time consuming, a pain in the ass but worth it, etc. So far I haven't had any luck fining much about real-world experience with it... the few people I've asked seem terrified I'm going to steal their ideas, despite the fact that I've already been doing the same sort of thing just as well without the resin, and in fact want the resin for making molded type stuff.

Sun's project is progressing. Perhaps not as fast as I'd like, BUT... it IS progressing. That's what I get for trying something overly ambitious, right? LOL. Ya'll will understand when it's done. :)

I've got some prints I'd like to color here soon too (I'm beginning to think I'm more of a colorist with my watercolors than I am anything else, but hey, we'll see. I may yet "find my voice" with the comic...)

Anywho... um.. I think that's it for now.

Think I'm going to take off to the hardware store for some ideas...

LATER.

Yeah, still alive... The two weeks before Con were hell, then once I got back, I've just sort of been taking it easy, and painting ships instead of doing other stuff, lol.
