a faltering moment

Hmm. The last seventeen pieces of art I've done are part of this Tarot deck. I need a break but I'm not sure I can afford the time for it.

I think I also need to have a go at revising some of the remaining Wands sketches; I keep looking at them and going "meh". The end is in sight but it keeps feeling no closer.

Maybe I just need to pull something unrelated out of my sketchbook and whip it through Illustrator, with no obligations or frameworks to stick to. I want to get this done; I want to be able to go back to Absinthe, to play with other random bits of silliness. And it's not going to get done if I don't crank out a piece every three days or so. But it's also not going to be done well if I keep feeling like this about it.

It doesn't help that I keep getting distracted by some techie issues today.

It's also be nice if it'd rain. I always seem to get cranky when a big storm's coming.

Queen of Swords (take 2)

Water of Air. Far superior, I think, to my previous take. Though I kept the vixen mask and Ashy reference - there's a layer in here called 'chest-mounted torpedos', which makes me giggle.

After the storm passed this morning, and after I played some Space Giraffe, I felt a lot better, and managed to finish this one off. Fatigue is still a looming problem for this project but I think I can manage it. I'll be at the Museum for a couple days again and that'll be a bit of an enforced break, though I'll be in coderspace, not artmind.
