Slow Progress

It’s been a bit since I’ve really done art, understandable I know, but now it seems I’m arting again, and it feels good.

I still have that zelda art trade to color. It’s been inked several times, but my plan to scan the inks, print them out and color them does not appear to be working. The markers make the printed ink run. :P I should try to get motivated on it too, because I’m happy with the poses and it’d feel really good to finish and send it off to Marc.

What I should do is… ink on marker paper over my sketch(or even over a printed version of the inks, then let that dry for a day and just color it! So close to finishing. sigh.

I do have another illustration on my plate, and it’s about 70% finished, I’m computer coloring it. It’s been sketched, and inked and just needs some additional shading and perhaps effects in photoshop. so. depending on how I get moving on these, I’ll have 6 and 7 of this goal done within weeks. whew. Leaving me still on target to achieve this goal for the year.

but, eep, I have to do 4 more pages of my comic by the end of august(or so)! must get moving on that. Perhaps if I can get these illustrations off my plate, I can completely commit and focus on the pages. (That and stop playing so much xbox live. evil evil Halo2)

wish me luck.
