If I had enough time and energy (and, right now, painkillers - sprained my thumb, yeehaw) to get more than silly doodles done, I'd do this myself. But since I probably won't get the chance any time soon, I wanted to pass it on to anyone who may watch me but doesn't watch Christy.

Project: Happy.
Draw fanart for a complete stranger just to make them happy, just because you can.

...I just needed something different on my journal.

So, if anyone was reading along with my Halloween story, you can find the entire thing starting here. Posting it on DA reminded me of exactly why I stopped posting writing here, aside from not liking to post my writing publicly. I'm not fond of posting things in places where you can see how many people have viewed a piece because every time I go to edit links, I can see how many people have viewed it as compared to how many have commented. Few things annoy me more than knowing that people are viewing things but no one can be arsed to say anything. It's one thing when something has a bunch of comments already and you've nothing new to add but honestly.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just grumpy. But whatever. I'm tired and Halloween's mostly been a wash this year. Hope yours was better than mine.

Every few months I feel like I should drop in and note the fact that I'm still alive and kicking (and occasionally screaming). For anyone wondering, the fact is that, aside from getting anything I draw scanned in being a hassle, I just hadn't been doing much artwise until very recently.

Currently my sketchbook contents include:
- one piece finished (HPAP illust)
- one half-coloured (original novel illust)
- two inked (HPAP and steampunk Archie)
- some penciled junk (fan service and more)

What all of that will actually get posted is pretty up in the air but, rest assured, the Archie piece will definitely be up once it's done. I'm quite happy with how it looks so far, especially considering how long it'd been since I'd drawn him. Woosh. Need to give that boy more love. But, for those interested in the well-being of young Archibald, he may or may not be getting a permanent home soon in one of my many fiction projects so we'll see. He's currently in the running for a part in two different pieces and is looking very likely for the one. More on that as time wears on.

For now, I'll simply say goodnight.

Goodnight!

As you may have noticed, today has found me uploading a handful of photographs taken over the last year. These include pictures of my dog and me, a few of the better shots from my trip to Guatemala last summer and one shot from my trip to the Seattle area last month. Seeing as I'm currently limited in resources as far as my drawing goes, I just thought I would give you all a little something to look at while I'm trying to dig up my art supplies and the energy to finish a few of my projects.

Works in Progress Include:
- a few small gifts
- a character portrait
- two illustrations for the Harry Potter Art Project

Also, contrary to my mood icon, I am not actually in pain. However, the mood menu is being stupid and won't let me change it. So. I'm in pain for dA. It's my gift to all of you.
