Hello wonderful followers. We are taking things simple today. I decided to leave off making any more alterations to the lettering for my gorilla logo, removing the few attempts I made. The image is not complete because I will of course need to put the actual site adress below when the time comes. However, I am calling all else done.
Now what, well, I am back to working on the crazy detailed red starfish for the Sarah Seadragon project. I am hoping to try taking a lighter approach to all the detail instead of focusing so long on each bit of calcium on the tentacles. I want to move faster and look to the overall affect instead of the individual parts.
I also want to work on some drawings. I am currently rereading the Lords of Dus series by Lawrence Watt-Evans and have gotten a hankering to paint the King in Yellow, who is a thousand year old immortal preist king. He is described as being so ancient that he looks mummified, has a long white beard, and always wears a tattered yellow robe with hood. His face is never seen becuse it is sunken into the cowl. How cool is that image.
I also want to set down the basics for the defining image of the Corpse Eater story, which will be a veiw from the surface of the asteroid ship looking at the borealis effect of the ships sheilds working in interstellar flight. I am hoping this will become a two page spread in the middle of the book for awe value.
Finally, I bought some clay to try my hand at sculpting again. Yeah, I know, what else. Like I said before, my brain never stops and I love every aspect of creating. There are so many things I want to try that I will never ever be bored in retirement. The only sad part is that I probably will not be competent in most. Oh well. Don’t forget I write stories two.
