Sculpting Pokemon + Life Stuff
10 years ago
Follower participation time! Name one or two pokemon, and after I finish this painting project I'm doing, I maaaay just happen to sculpt one or two of those listed in the comments. I'll update this journal with a list of noted pokemon, just so we don't get repeats all the time. :P
In other news, the sun is out, the snow is gone (for the time being), and it's gloriously warm outside~ Spring has finally sprung! I've had the last five nights off of work (currently on my last night off right now), and though I was out with a the Flu for a couple days, I'm feelin' good again and ready to tackle work when I go back tomorrow. The good weather has put me in a really good mood, so I've been working on a new painting (36" w x 24" h), and I've been doing some drawing and sketching as well - namely making a go of working on human faces. Which is fuckin' difficult, my god.
Hmmm, what else...I picked up a new DSLR the other month! My sister asked me to photograph her wedding, so I needed to upgrade my kit (aka. a small, portable digital camera), and just having this new toy around is reminding me of how much I loved the photography and media courses I did in high school. Hopefully going to pick up a new lens soon and maybe get out to one of the local riverside parks to take in the wildlife and shoot some photos.
Everything's pretty good at work so far. Had an eight day stint before this elongated time off, but I survived. Barely, ahahaha~ I did get two raises back at the beginning of March, one being a standard raise, and the other being part of our new contracts. So, yeah, if I'm remembering this correctly, I may be somewhere between 6 and 9 months away from hitting top rate pay as a part-timer, which is a pretty decent wage in and of itself. I could actually afford to move out! @_@ Might wait a few months before seriously considering that, though, as the rental market is absolute shit presently in my target area, and there are a few other things I'm mulling over doing.
So, all in all things have been fair on my side. I'm not eager to talk about some of the not-so-good events that have occurred, so I won't. I kinda want to keep my journals positive for the most part, rather than being a Debbie Downer like usual. :P
Hopefully you're all safe, in good health, and enjoying some sunshine!
