Description I drew the sketch for this back in February, and left it as a messy sketch until the other night. My days generally go like this: get up, get Aaron ready for work, and get to work on art/website commissions until I go on my walk to the bus station. Then I go to work. And work. When I'm not on calls, I am drawing and researching how to fix more web problems for my clients. Then, I get home late, cook dinner, clean, and get back to work until I go to bed. Sometimes, you have to draw something for yourself to retain your sanity. I feel guilty about not having more of my donation commissions done, but I will get them done. My only excuse is that, at least I'll be a better artist by the time I get to the next one.

Meanwhile, you may notice that Gab looks slightly different. I started working on a new design for her several months ago, and now that I'm married and taking on the new name and everything, I figured now would be a great time to start integrating it. The goal is to make her look more meerkatty. I hope it shows.

And, hey, I'm learning more about coloring in Photoshop. That's really exciting to me. This was drawn in OC, fixed in OC, and then colored/effectified in photoshop.

Now, I'm fairly sure I'm losing my voice and it's 3 AM, so I am going to sleep!

This is very nice! I love the background and the way you colored the hair. Your character design looks really good. I especially like the little 1-up mushroom on your sleeve. XD

I think I should watch you.

Uh...Oh, I'm torn between who I like better, the old Gab or the new one... Still, Lore's the same, i.e. utterly adorable. I wish I could draw like you...back to the practicing for me!

I have tendonitus in my right arm, which makes doing real-media art very difficult. I often wear ace bandaces around my wrist/elbow to help with the issue. I figured I could put that in there as a sort of justified prop. Besides, it's better than an eye patch for my bad eye!

I tend to stick to digital now; it's much easier on the arm is all.
