Happy Birthday to me.
a year ago
Many of you have noticed that I haven't posted anything since Last October. It's because, since then, I have been suffering from bouts of insomnia that have me falling asleep in mid afternoon like a Mediterranean. It has also prevented me from focusing on any task more than a few minutes long, so I have been having some art block. Other than that, I have been good with my health, with no pain. As for the insomnia, I did visit a sleep doctor, and he noted that my CPAP machine was subject to recall, and after an examination, declared that the CPAP even if working properly was the wrong type for my anatomy )Apparently I have a narrow jaw, and a wide tongue) So to change my prescriptions around I will have to go to a sleep survey on May 16th, and a Follow up on June 5th. Hopefully I can have this solved so I can resume drawing. I have joined a gym so as to improve my walking endurance, and be in better shape for surgery at the end of the year. Being able to focus on drawing again would be nice as well.
Other than that, I am still slogging away on Blender tutorials, to learn more, and get more fluid with it. But blender is showing it's remarkable depth. It took me about two weeks to get decent with Maya, and about a year to get fluent. It's taking me more than a year to get decent with Blender, as it has so many options, and procedures. It's more for me learning character animation and rigging, as I have had poor conversions with face rigs on characters, and may have to switch to Morph targets.
Here is hoping you all are having a smoother time with art than I am. Take care, and maintain your health.

Hoping your health improves along the way as well~
Sorry to hear about the insomnia. I'm glad they figured out the issue with your CPAP though. Hopefully that all gets resolved since that should help get the rest of the things going.
My Roomie/BFWB suffers from severe apnea, and being the typical male he is, he refuses to strap a device to his face to help with the condition. I fully expect to wake up someday to find him dead in his recliner-bed-thingy, at which time I'm likely to do a lot of illegal/immoral things to his corpse, just to vent MY frustration at his stubbornness?
(I ever make a Post from a Federal Institution, at least the probable reasons will be recorded!?)
Hope the new machinery does what you need it to do, and you resume a more stable/normal sleeping pattern!
:-D
Look after yourself!
Gee, Happy the Birthday Dog needs to visit you.
