At Lut points out, I have a number of other plans for today -- there's an MMORPG wedding this evening in Puzzle Pirates, I want to go to the art supply store today and pick up some more things, I'll spend an hour or so exercising, and I'll probably do some writing and/or drawing today.

But this line from a Simon and Garfunkel song keeps going through my head nonetheless. My vacation started yesterday, and I ain't got no plans and ain't goin' nowhere, so I'm just relaxing and smiling.

I scanned in my third and, for now, final attempt at Striped Person with Tendril-ly Hair. The icon version looks good, I think, although the full-size one is lacking a certain something. Not enough black in the background, perhaps. Or maybe I should've taken [livejournal.com profile] tuftears suggestion and done hatchmarks for the trendrils instead. And colored the lips red.

Anyway, I'm declaring this one Done. [livejournal.com profile] queenofstripes, feel free to snag it if you like it, and replace the "halfmask" one unless you really wanna keep that. :)

And the Odd Question for the day: Why do I always draw figures facing to their left?

rowyn: (thoughtful)
Lut took me to a couple of art supply stores today, where I bought Yet More art supplies, in preparation for my plan to do a 24 hour comic on Tuesday. I decided I didn't want to burn the whole weekend on it, which is why I'm not doing it today. I considered doing it Monday, but I don't want to feel obligated to go to bed early on Sunday. Plus, Tuesday is the summer solstice, and that seems like an auspicious day for a project.

So instead, I've been encouraging [livejournal.com profile] barbx's author in pursuit of a similar-but-different challenge today -- trying to write the entire prequel to BarbX's story in 24 hours. I've read the story so far and the writer is doing a good job. It's quite impressive for a creative work done on a deadline; you can tell a lot of thought has gone into it.

Now, I think I'll either play a game with Lut, or go play with my new art supplies.
