Hurray for achieving something that I'm happy about! Changed a few things on here from the thumbnail, but I ended up leaving the vertical alignment where it was. I did add a touch of yellow to that flame, though, which I'm particularly proud of. Laugh if you want. It still makes me happy.
Phew, what a relief to have at least one of these done. I do still plan on finishing some of the other thumbs I've put here. It's just a matter of finding the time and willpower to sit down and work on them.
On something of a personal note, I've really been struggling for the last while with some emotional conflict and a lot of internal chaos and depression. It sounds bad, and I guess it could be worse, but I'm still not happy about it. It has been such a struggle to be able to work on creative endeavors and that lack of progress just heaps on my frustrations. I'm hoping that at some point here I'll be able to exit all of this garbage I'm dealing with and come out that much of a better person. There are so many things I'm upset or frustrated about that I'm not going to waste any time listing them here. I'd just come back and delete them later for shame of having spammed my art blog with them. Anyway, I guess I'll cut the rambling short so that my life doesn't seem like a horrific soap opera. Just needed to vent a little.
That looks great, Whit! The warm color gives more interest to the flame, makes it stick out more (I'm not laughing;) Overall it looks great, and I really like how you portrayed the character.
ReplyDeleteBleh I'm sorry you're feeling so down. I know how it feels not accomplishing something because I feel overburdened or simply exhausted. I wish there was something more I could do for you (you've done so much for me). I'll still teach you how to ride horses if you want :D
Thank you! Don't worry, I'll figure things out. You do a lot for me, too.
