[Begin Random Rambling]

Well, like the title states I'm sitting on a couple of pics that are still in their pencil stage and are pretty much ready to get inked. Thing of it is, I'm not too sure if I want to ink them traditionally.

That's right. I could have at least four or five pics further in the mix than they currently are and have a really fun week tweaking colors and futzing backgrounds but I'm stuck on stage two (stage three if you count thumbnails and sketches). It's mostly due to my improved timing and skills with Illustrator. I'm starting to get as quick and precise with the program as I am with traditional mediums. Granted, I'm no great craftsman when it comes to watercolor or color pencils but I have never been very in tune with digital stuff until that last year of college. Now that I have time to work on projects that won't get graded or land my ass in hot water with a client, I find myself running back to the digital stuff more and more.

The other option is to make my pencils super tight, something I rarely ever do over existing pencils. It's another one of those oddities for me. I can thrown some remarkably tight lines but I'm usually working really fast and in the zone so-to-speak. If you actually watch me drawing a pic like that, you can usually find this look of surprise on my face. I'm not being a jerk... I am honestly shocked at what I just laid down.

Ugh... I'll figure something out. It's good stuff, I assure you. I just needed to get that off my chest.

Those of you keen-eyed folks will notice I now have the other places you can find me at listed in my links section. Yep, I have a FA account and I decided to toss the Sheezy one in for good measure. Fear not, I won't be disappearing from here anytime soon. This just allows me a wide net to cast for advice and more eyes on my work so I can make it a good as I possibly can.

Plus, I seem to be finding the bulk of the comic book guys who's work I used to catch all the time here on devArt. Did I mention the crap-ton of animators who are currently working on programs I watch are on here, too? The geek in me won't let me leave. = P

That's pretty much it for me for now. Time to hit the pics again and see what comes out. With any luck, I'll have some new stuff up by Tuesday though you know how I am with personal deadlines.
