I'm on a productivity upswing again, so I'll be posting a couple of things here over the next week or so. I've practicing with my tablet again while my tech pens finish drying.
I've got the itch to produce some sort of story again, so I've been writing a lot of notes and going through old doodles to find character designs that strike my fancy. I really am stuck at the first step, though - I'm not even sure what sort of story I want to tell. I usually carry a notebook with me, so I've been jotting down some ideas; it's time to dig down through a few of those and really try to figure out how to make them work. I guess the trick is to find a theme or a hook that appeals to me, but it hasn't happened yet.
I should probably get out of the house sometime today, but I'm really not sure where to go, annnnnd I'm broke anyway. :\
So back to practice it is.

And yet I'm still here.
So a lot has happened in the past two years.
2016 was a blur, but for the most part it was fine. Then November happened, and everything started to fall apart.
I don't remember most of December and January. I can recall the holidays, and working, but little else.
In February something in my head finally gave way. I just broke. I'm on a treatment program for depression and anxiety now, and on the mend.
In March, I got over my own stubbornness and finally bought a car.
I lost my job in May - laid off along with all of my coworkers from a facility we were told was no longer profitable.
In June, I finally got the dental surgery I've need
2016 so far.
It's probably a little early to get into this topic, even only two weeks in and it feels like we've been at this for a long time.
Most notably, I'm doing alright with my project to produce and post at least a single sketch every day during the 2016 calendar year. I'm only one image behind so far, though in a few hours it'll be two. I won't lie, there have been a few days where I haven't been able to muster up more than a few warm-up scratches on paper that aren't worth sharing, or worse, I've labored for an hour or so on a piece far too large for the scope of the project. I have at least two of those waiting to be finished; they might be wai
Once more from the top.
Tonight seemed like a good day to post a bunch of work that I've been too busy or lazy to share, so my gallery has a bunch of new material in it. Chances are if you're local you've seen some of it, but not all. I'll be posting more as I find pieces stashed in notebooks and in file folders on my drives.
The last couple of months have been rough. Banzai came and went like a storm - I dreaded it's approach, weathered the weekend itself, and afterwards sat in the wreckage trying to figure out what happened. Con crud hit me hard, this year - I'm honestly still trying to get rid of the last of the chest congestion more than a month after the fact,
Batch Upload May 2014
Just getting a couple of images from the last week or so uploaded. Nothing of importance to mention, really.
Well, okay, there's one thing. I might be getting my hands on a Cintiq in the next month or so. It's still not even close to a done deal, but I'm hopeful it will work out. I've been getting used to using the Wacom tablet I already have, but I can't help but think of how much faster and accurate my line work would be if I could just put my stylus to the damn screen.
Fingers crossed, in any case!
