I'm finally getting to where I don't feel like an absolute amateur with my tablet. My scheme of spending one hour drawing each day is paying off. The idea is that I do at least sixty minutes. I can do more, but I don't have to necessarily, so if I have a lot of other things to take care of, I can. It's helping me build familiarity and develop skill, since I've done next to NO digital art before. But I've already been able to do much more than I could have with traditional media, which for me also has to include markers dying and waiting on replacements to be shipped to me, or simply not having a color I want and having to work around that. I've also started a half dozen different pieces and haven't finished a single one, LMAO.
I also still have lots of pencil sketches I'd like to scan and work up digitally but I'll get through those. I'm mainly looking right now to finish a short side-story comic, get it posted, and start my running webcomic. I'm going to aim for thirty pages done before posting anything so I have a very comfortable cushion if I can't work at some point. I may also talk to Fox about a custom domain - I know almost nothing about hosting or setting up a site for a comic though. I should probably just stick to posting shit on Tapastic for now.
Is it possible to live on smoothies? I feel like just having smoothies lately. Green smoothies, fruit smoothies, etc. Currently my favorite choice is green smoothies with chocolate, though I made a smoothie bowl that was key lime flavored and had avocado as a base - it was so freakin' good. And between the avocado and spinach it was this wild shade of bright green, like I'd used food coloring in it.
Baby Sheba goes back to the vet tomorrow for her booster shots. But ... she's developed a lump on her back right leg, where they give one of the vaccines. It hasn't gotten any bigger this week - it's still about the size of an almond. It really threw me when I found it, though. I know vaccine induced sarcomas are rare - as in one in between ten and thirty thousand cats - so it's extremely unlikely that I have another cancer case on my hands. It's statistically most probable that it's just a lump that some cats develop in the injection site and it'll go away after a few more weeks. That doesn't mean I won't worry, of course. Little Sheba having to make those trips out to the specialist vet ... she'd be miserable. (The surgical specialist is almost all the way to Jax Beach, it's a hell of a drive from here.) I know it'll be an extra expense but not much of one to get them to check it out tomorrow.
I'm kind of just waiting to go work on the water softener at the moment. I hate waiting around but I also don't want to get involved in another project or task, so this is entirely my own fault. Although I'm considering going outside an picking blackberries for a while. Smoothies. *nods*
