why i love my job ~

straight from my desktop to your viewing pleasure, i present the following screen capture:



team Gatchaman is visiting the country of "Where is it?" (that's a loose japanese translation). the country looks suspiciously like America in some aspects. paying a call on the secretary of state, the boobytrapped mansion is falling down around them (a la Raiders of the Lost Ark). among these pitfalls is this lovely crucifix which shoots lasers from its eyes.

sometimes you just have to stop working and share the weirdness.

in other news, glad to be home, sipping white pear tea and trying to decide whether to turn up the heat or put on slippers. i've been working all morning, so i think i will play for the rest of the afternoon. i got a pile done, so i don't feel too slobbulous (though there's much more to go).

been thinking about getting back to my sequentials. thinking about picking up Slaughter's Mountain and doing a little work on that for a change. my tv is busted (it didn't survive the trip) and i don't want to spend money to fix it until i'm more secure in my very shaky finances. so i can put a dvd on the computer, but it's not the same (so spoiled!)

: D

edit: i just realized what a non sequitor that sounded (about the tv) ~ it's just that i prefer to paint while watching television, a habit i picked up from my brother.

pleh and the pfefferbergers ~

pulling out my Slaughter's Mountain stuff, i'm reminded why i stopped painting it: hit a block with a badly drawn page and a smudged pict that i tried to fix tonight (not sure how successful that was ~ i guess it looks better).

i also tried to just paint through the block, but it's going very slow and the pictures are not improving even though i did some redrawing and tried to make them cleaner, but the lines look muddy and the colors are weak. it's just simply a bad page. and as time-consuming as the painting is, i hate to spend all these hours working on something just to toss it aside and say: meh!

fish or cut bait?

i feel a style change coming on (ohhhhh nooooooooo!)

have i said lately how much i hate sequential art? hahahahaha ~ oy vey!

maybe i'll go experiment with some techniques or something, try to work on something else for a wee spell.
