May. 1st, 2008 03:59 pmWoo. Getting back in the groove after a week and a half down in New Orleans is hard. I don't have the time to screw off on this, though. Not unless I can carve it out by doing a couple cards in a day, or something - I have 33 left to do, and 60 days to do them in.
Hopefully I'll have the Ace of Swords done before I go to sleep, and a start on another card's Illustrator phase. Maybe the Ace of Wands; the Aces are generally pretty quick.
The book I ordered on the court cards arrived today; I read it while walking out to do some errands. It is, indeed, worthwhile; it's giving me a lot of ways to think about these sixteen cards - and it makes me feel less stupid about having troubles with them, as the introduction claims that a lot of people have trouble with them compared to the Trumps and the numbers. Sketches of them should start happening soon.
Hmm. At this very moment I sorta feel like I'll just be glad to be done with this project - all the excitement is gone for some reason. I hope it's just the tiredness talking, as I'm normally pretty enthusiastic about it, even this far in. Maybe I'm just freaking a little because last week ate up all of the substantial lead I had, and I have some hard work ahead of me to keep up. Of course, I also have a whole month to deal with printing, and my intent was always to have that month also include a little room for things to slop over into.
I probably just need a bit of food and some sunshine. It's warm enough that I could go work in the studio instead of on the bed, too - that might help a lot.
