Well i switched my lighting to those more environment friendly bulbs always talked about, i think they're just softer/lower watt, 10 instead of 60-100. The major difference is that they give off a blue hue instead of that bright yellow or white light, actually it's a bit like the opening scene from Joe VS the Volcano... it'll take some getting use to... worth it... but it'll take some getting use to...
The comic is coming along ok i guess, the first story stretches out to about 4-5 books, i'm happy with 1/3 of the first part that's down. My biggest problem is learning how to settle with a drawing, i'm the type that will go back and stress out about doing it better. I'm reminded of a time, must have been 11yrs old, when i signed on to do a school project of drawing a banner sized stop sign. Thinking back on it i should have, would have made more sense, just freehanded the whole thing and been done in an afternoon, but instead i spent days trying to measure out the perfect 5ft octagon. Each day sneering at it, nope could be a little more even, think i should start over. The whole point was so that no one would judge it negatively, who did the shoddy stop sign, but there's a point when you have to let that go and be ok with doing your best. I've found out that it's easy to get stuck on something that way, sometimes its better to accept where you are and worry about improving the next drawing, just so that you keep moving forward. Get the form down and move to the next one. In the end the 1st graders appreciated the outline and markered/crayoned in the whole thing... wasn't a loss though, it looked great. Honestly, i think another reason the sign took so long was i enjoyed hanging out with a friend back then, wonder what she's upto now.
