I upgraded my account to "Plus" to create that poll... the ads are annoying. But I figure... when I still had my paid account before it only let me have 15 user pics anyway (it never did upgrade mine to 30!) and if they want to whore themselves out for money, let them; they can have sponsors' money instead of mine since users' money wasn't enough anyway. ;P
I am *almost done* with icons! Kat, yours still have to be sketched and all, but the other two peoples' that I was aiming to have done earlier this week, are almost finished. Well, actually, one of the two IS done, and that's the reason for this post!
Here's for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) wulfsige!
    
And here's a preview of calicatmerlin's icons, two of the fifteen...
As you can see, I'm mostly done, I just have to finish up the shading and give them background colors. Augh!! So close!!
And finally, a little bonus art. I *was* going to keep this a surprise until FWA but I don't think I can. XD Actually... I know I can't. Here's my Super Sekrit Fursuit concept art....:
I decided to name her Adie! I got that name from the first two letters of Adorable, and the last two of Foxie, which is my web site. ;)
I'm not sure if I will ever make a CrssaFox costume; CrssaFox, to me, is not so much a real character as she is a web presence. I guess you could say she's "me" in 'net form... so much as she can be. So Adie's gonna be my gal for FWA coming up. I hope she turns out as cute as the concept art. I think I should do okay with it. :)
Today has been a super-busy day, starting with errands in the morning - going to JC Penny to get new bedding stuff (Joe's parents' Christmas gift to us) and then to Walgreens to get my prescription... then we went up to Jax to get an oil change and Joe's car needed looking at. There is something wrong with... oh, I can't even remember what, but it's basically something leaks coolant (very slowly, mind) onto the passenger side floor of his car, and it's going to cost over $600 to fix. (Half of that is labor, because they're going to have to take apart the dash....) Ouch. I hope Joe's parents will help with that... how much that will set us back. Sigh. At least it's not a pressing issue that needs fixed *right now*.
After we were done at Saturn, we popped over to jooshie and painteddog's house since it was right around the corner, and visited with them for a short while. Was good to see them again. :) Angyl made us the *cutest* little ornament of Reo for a Christmas gift. You all need to go check out her stuff, because she does an AMAZING job on her sculptures! ;)
Then we hit up St Johns Town Center where we went in JoAnn because I needed a new needle for my basting (tack) gun, and Hobby Lobby didn't carry the needles. (They carry the brand, but when I asked the girl in the fabric department if she had them, she blinked at me and went, "Huuuuh?") At least they were 50% off, and it was a set of two, so if the needle breaks again I have yet another replacement. The basting gun helps SO much with tacking up a suit pattern.
We got Arby's for dinner, then headed on home, and I came on upstairs to work more on art. I'm about to my limit now, so it's a good thing I'm nearly done with these! I have to say, I've enjoyed working on them because they're *great* practice for me, in drawing faces and expressions as well as practice inking and using my markers. I am seeing great improvements in my consistancy as far as characters go, so I am happy about that. :)
Mmm, bed time now. Getting up for church in the morning, then tomorrow is going to be spent finishing these icons, then cleaning the house and airing it out before it gets *cold* later this week. (Just in time for nomadfox's visit! Nomie, you're bringing the cold weather with you, apparently!)
Good night! ^_^ |
