I'm back!
Added 2019-02-21 00:42:02 +0000 UTCWe drove through a blizzard at like 1-2 AM to get back from the airport and I'm stupendously tired but I live! The trip was VERY good. I get so tired of winter; I really REALLY needed that sun and swimming.
I didn't take any of my better cameras along but I took some phone pics and if when I go through them there are any decent ones I'll upload.
The highlights were: swimming in the Caribbean Sea (OF COURSE!!!!); seeing the very rare and critically endangered Cayman blue iguanas; swimming with southern sting rays; and basically getting all the sun I needed that I don't get during the long, dark winter.
A big thank you to my roommate, without whom I wouldn't be able to go on such trips. He uses the points he accrues via his work to get us hotels and flights on the very cheap, otherwise I definitely wouldn't be able to travel except to cons.
Now that I'm back I'm going to ship out some finished commissions, do my taxes, prepare for Texas Furry Fiesta, and do a lot of figure studying, as well as more fun art/doodling, because I haven't done much of that lately.
I'm TRYING to teach myself to slow down and draw correctly and not be lazy about it but when I don't focus I lose my thread and I'm back to sloppy and incorrect. Which is fine some of the time when you're just hashing out fast ideas but really isn't a good idea once you get past that stage. I've had very good luck thus far with it but only when I'm well-fed and rested and centered and so on. If I'm tired or cranky that focus thing just doesn't come easy, if it happens at all!
That's about all for now. I'm going to brush my teeth and get ready for sleep. I super need it.
