*is feeling accomplished*
Oct. 21st, 2009 03:58 pmWhew! Finished editing the latest issue of TEACH, finished editing my mom's latest book, finished editing several articles for her (last one should be done today), keeping up on my various other projects, and all right on time, too. :)
And now I am feeling artistic! *g* Mimic dragon concept over at Dragcave is going well, I think. Heh heh, though working there has a way of making me feel veeery ignorant and art-impaired. Particularly since I continue to struggle with a highly irritating mental block when it comes to translating my art experience from paper to digital art. I can have done something can't-even-remember-how-many-times with pastels, know the principles perfectly well, and yet when I move to a computer instantly I need to go over it all again through trial-and-error before the lightbulb goes on and I figure out how to apply those principles. ;P Aaanyway, I'm finally doing some shading on the Mimic male now, and I think it's starting to look good. :)
Did I mention that I'm doing concept art for two other people's dragon ideas, now, too? Very fun. :) Particularly the second one, where I'm collaborating with a very experienced and talented artist. Though, yes, I am a liiitle intimidated by her. She's very nice, but just - *hides*
And! I just got another concept accepted! *is so excited* Meh Long-Furred Dragon. :D Though now the sketching for the male is not going well. Phooey. *pokes it* I just hope I can get the fluffy little babies I have a mental image of to come out right...
