Variant Cover WIP

Top third of the cover I'm currently penciling. This is the closest to one of the Experiment drawings I've done for something, I think. Well, actually the Grumble variant I did was up the same alley. But I think this is the fist cover where I feel like I was thinking in that "experiment" mode while working on it. If that makes sense.

Need to get this finished in the coming week, then I start a cover for a project I'm directly involved in, get back on the commissions and think about a couple of job offers that I will probably have to turn down. Which sucks, but things are just too screwy and my hand's been bad again. 

Shoveling snow messed my arm and shoulder the other week and set me back a bit where that's concerned, but I can tell the situation's nowhere near as bad as it would have been if I wasn't going to physical therapy and taking the medication the neurologists gave me. I only wish the meds didn't cause fatigue, that's been an issue for me. I see my hand specialist neurologist and my general neurologist doctor next week and am going to talk to them about the medication stuff. I saw my neck specialist neurologist for the first time and I have an MRI appointment next month. 

I'm not complaining. I am grateful to my therapist for helping me get to where I'm less stressed about calling doctors. Only took a few years, but yay. And the appointments aren't freaking me out too badly, although physical therapy can be a little stressful when the place is busy. But I'm getting better at talking to the staff. 

And the appointments get me out of the house! After my neck appointment I finally went to the Asian Market on Forest Avenue, which I've wanted to go visit since it reopened last year. But I can never make myself go. But the dentist's office wasn't very far from there (I got my teeth deep-scaled at the periodontist on Wednesday, which gave me a headache for a couple of days but was very necessary) so I went and bought pork buns, shrimp chips and an Ultraman Tiga soda. Haven't tried the soda yet. It's green apple-flavored. Next time I might try a Sailor mars soda. Those are strawberry-flavored. 

Okay, back to the drawing board while Winky's asleep. She's been super-pesty lately, she doesn't like it when I'm working because I can't pay attention to her. Unless she jumps up and bites the pencil. I found cat pawprints on the above cover drawing today! She must have been walking on the drawing table while I was out of the room. That darn cat.  

More soon, later.
