So… a few things.

1. I haven’t worked on my hybrid creature sculpt thing as much lately as I would have anticipated, but it is  still around. I had to make some fundamental pose/proportion changes, which means that although it’s been worked on, it’s still in its “early” stages in terms of how detailed it is.

2. Lately I have been listening to The Decemberists’ “The Crane Wife” and some Mountain Goats albums, which are all generally pretty awesome.

3. I “finished” the beginning sculpture class at work with a male figure study. There is a lot missing from it as I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked to put the details in that I wanted to, but I will probably post pictures soon. The female sculpt may be considered a lost cause at this point. I missed the 4th class, which might be considered ‘the hand and face class.” I kind of doubt I will revisit it; I may just remove most of the clay and use the armature for another sculpture starting in a few weeks.

4. I was working rather diligently for several weeks on a digital sculpture, but then I ran into some difficulty and also switched to the day shift at work (which a] is awesome and b] demands more energy/focus and active work at the computer), so it has sort of fallen by the wayside. I am going to return to it shortly, and may very well post some in-progress images.

5. I have a lot of images/ideas in my head for upcoming work. I may have mentioned this previously; I don’t remember and am too preoccupied at the moment to read previous posts. The point is, I feel somewhat inspired and creatively charged. I just hope I can find the time to put in some work, don’t get too frustrated with shortcomings/delayed results, and don’t get carpal tunnel.

6. I like semicolons.

Lists are a way to write unrelated paragraphs and not feel bad about neglected transitions or absent coherence.

And here is an in progress image for something I’ve had in my head for a few weeks, related to #2. Not sure what will come of it, especially regarding the pose:

Oh yeah, and keep in mind: he’s just sitting, and he shouldn’t be naked.

I haven’t forgotten you my bloggy little friend.

Every once in a while, you should stop wasting time by reading stuff on Wikipedia and read Wired magazine instead.

Stuff coming soon. If you’re curious about what stuff, find out what this is all about
