General
Well it's been pretty normal lately. I've been mostly working, though my annual temporary layoff is getting closer.
My art has been in a real slump lately. Well, honestly, just my digital art. I still have a coloring job to do for someone - I haven't forgotten, chaz!! It's just been really hard to drag myself over to my tablet for some reason. I've come to the conclusion that I'm really not cut out for commission work, if for no other reason that I can't guarantee good turnover time - which in my opinion is unacceptable. I haven't tamed my muse - so I can't just sit down with a sketchpad and draw what I feel like any time. I have to be in the right mood, and even then I generally only want to draw certain things (like Lunamira). Those are not the kind of tendencies that make a good commission artist. As a result, once I finish the picture for Chaz, I doubt I'll be offering commissions, at least not for quite a while.
Ever teach your mother to play an MMO? That's what I'm doing lately, since my mom decided to join me in playing Star Trek Online. I realized pretty early on that this had less to do with playing the game and more to do with playing the game with *me*... I think my mom misses me. After all I'm the last one to have left the nest, and my parents have little to keep themselves occupied besides their used book business (Yoozd Books). I realized it's time to get in the habit of keeping in touch with mom.
My mother is having difficulty finishing the game's tutorial, but she seems to be having fun with it just the same - which is cool. It'll be interesting playing in a group with her - I'm looking forward to it.
Beyond that, it's just life as usual. Lunamira has been playing more games recently because she's been having a frustrating lack of artistic ideas lately - something that bothers her quite a bit. Throw in her wisdom tooth extraction within about a month or so and she's been kinda bleh lately. But that's what I'm there for - to keep her sane.
At any rate, not a whole lot else to tell. Mew.
