Sorry guys, but... I'm outta here.
You guys have been awesome but this place has just been going steadily downhill since Jark was outsted and DA has just pissed me off one too many times.

I've moved my gallery here --> [link] and that's where I'll be updating from now on.

My head is killing me. I swear it would actually hurt less if someone had just jammed a railroad spike through my eye socket
Being incredibly tired and having had only two cups of coffee and a slice of cake for dinner can't be helping but I've apparently been switched onto the night shift at work and so I'm trying to acclimate myself to a different sleep schedule and that's messing with all my other routines... like what time I'm actually hungry enough to keep food in my stomach.
I've been staying awake by painting warhammer minis but I only have one light in my room and it's all the way over on my dresser. I'm so used to painting during the day with extra sunlight coming in through my window, it didn't occur to me that trying to paint by one crappy light with my eyeball half a centimetre from the mini might give me a headache.
I'm going to buy myself a little desk lamp tomorrow. That should solve the problem, I think. For now, I'm going to settle for a can of spaghetti-o's and some ibuprofen.

I have some more rattie sketches in my sketchbook that I might think about getting scanned when my head stops exploding. But right now I'm too tired and cranky to bother, so g'night.

I just can't resist a good bandwagon! lol
So this whole daily drawing challenge thing is catching on and i need the practice anyway.

I'm going to aim for at least two ten-minute drawings a day for the whole month. Considering I usually submit maybe one or two pieces every month or so, this'll be a surprising jump in activity for me. I don't know if I can keep up the creative bit but I'm going to try.

Mostly, I want to because I have so many dragons but not many rats, so I'm going to see if I can get some good practice at rats, especially my chars for Fancy That. ^_^ Should be entertaining.

So I've been practicing my photography a bit and I think I've got a decent handle on it. I desperately need a lightbox and a couple of lights, though. I figure I can probably make a lightbox pretty cheap, get some fabric and a cardboard box o.O but if anyone has any other recommendations on cheap lighting and supplies, that's be awesome. There's this -->[link] sweet setup from ThinkGeek but it's... $50 and I don't have that much T_T
I have a tripod already ^_^ just got it today. The camera store was having a going out of business sale so I picked up a small one for all of six whole dollars (total score). No lightboxes left, though *is a sad panda.* There's a hole-in-the-wall photography place I'm going to check out before I give up all hope and just make one, though. So fear not! The search goes on!

I've been getting a lot of sculpture stuff done. I won't be putting any of them up for sale online until I have a halfway decent setup (i.e. that lightbox and such I was talking about two seconds ago). I'm going to be seriously in the hole for a while since I've been spending so much time and money on supplies and still don't have everything I need. I'm determined to get this off the ground, though.

I'm going to be doing a LOT of writing for a while so the sketch type art is going to be pretty sparse. I'm not even entertaining the notion of commissions right now so don't ask. Sorry.

That's about it for right now. Wish me luck!
