Wow. High time I bumped that last journal off the front page. I really should make it a scheduled thing to update this once a month, but I tend to put things off because I tend not to have much to report. Anyway, here's what's been up.
First, yesterday was my birthday. I'm now 31, although I feel like I'm still something like 25 or something mentally. Didn't do too much, just a nice dinner with my family. Thanks so much for the birthday wishes.
Second, I've been doing rather well with a challenge for the year, which is to draw a monthly themed item everyday for all of 2012. Admittedly, I'll already sort of failed in that I've missed days, but I'm still going at it, working at drawing something no matter how quick and lousy each day. I was doing all right with posting for the first couple of months, but I really need to do some art dumps for the last few months. It's been a difficult challenge, but a learning experience. Last month's theme, plants, actually had the result of more observation based drawings. If you want to see more of my work, check out my art blog or my Tumblr,

I plan on getting new tablet in the next few months. It won't have big effect on the quality, but I think it's time to see about getting a new one. The current pen is getting pretty worn out, and because it's the old Graphire, Wacom no longer produces the part (or it's out of stock and I have no idea if they'll get new ones), so time to move to the new model. Currently weighing my options and my budget for a Bamboo Create or an Intuos small or medium. I have gotten a new lightpad by Arograph, a nice large one that'll be nice for larger pieces.
Other than that, mostly work. Time to start working on costumes for Dragon*Con, and I'll try to share my progress here for the props.
Yeah. That's about it.
