So for the past three days I've been grappling with The Thing That Did Not Work Out (thank you for your lovely words, @the-emerald-halla and @thisonelikesaliens ) and why it threw me harder than it should have. And I've realized that I've neglected a bunch of things that used to be good for me and that I would like to start again.
First, I'm going to start the daily WIP posts again. Even if no one (not even me) particularly cares to read "Added ten rows to the Neverending Scarf Of Eternalness" eight days in a row, it does help remind me that I am making progress at least on some things and not just fighting an endless losing battle against entropy. I also want to include some sort of progress picture, because I like that kind of thing. These will go under a cut because they'll mostly be unposed, badly lit tablet camera pictures that no one needs on their dash.
Second, in addition to the WIP of the day I want to post a Happy Thing of the day. Just some small thing that has made me happy that day as a reminder that I actually do live a pretty nice life even if my brain often tells me otherwise.
And thirdly, that thing up there that looks like a unicorn threw up all over the paper? That's me having an unexpected amount of fun with water soluble crayons. Playing around with colours like this is fast and relaxing and satisfying, so once in a while I'm going to put up one of these just because I can.
So. You've been warned. All posts will be tagged with "Eto WIPs", "Eto has a Happy" and "Eto's Colour Exploits" for your filtering convenience. All right, now that that's out of the way, let's get on with it!
WIP of the day: #35, Ashley portrait (thank you for the prompt, @feedthedamnfish , I love it!) Finished the line art and printed it out several times so I have room to really mess around and learn how these colours work.
Happy thing of the day: Today was cold, but beautiful and sunny. When I took the baby for a walk I wore my N7 hat, N7 hipbag and Shakarian mitts, which gave me the Nerdy Crafter set bonus of +3 confidence, +2 awesome and +5 quality of life. A+ styling decision, highly recommended :-)
