Working on that silly little horse is way too much close-up work. My eyes are really struggling to focus! Got the flowers painted. The paints I'm using are pretty cheap (for how infrequently I use them, it was hard to justify buying high quality, ha), so there are some patchy bits. May have to do another couple layers. The hardest part is probably going to be re-lining the pattern, as the colors have eaten the lines. I'll go for it with the finest brush we have, but I don't expect it'll be perfect. But really, it just needs to be done by the 28th! We'll see!

Tomorrow off of work to go to an event thing with Alex. Looking forward to it, though it'll probably be a relatively hectic day. Still, better than work! Though it'll be hard to go back to work the next day, ha.

Started figuring out my new tentative writing schedule/calendar, but it may need a bit more tweaking.

...later, because right now, I am going the fuck to sleep.

I think the monocle would really add the right gravitas to the whole project!

Oof, I hope the tiny detailing you're describing goes smoothly and without much further (if any) eye straining. Otherwise, you'll absolutely have to post your work in the coming days! =D

Hooray for a day off work today and for that matter, I hope today's eventing has been fun!

Thank you! I've only got through tomorrow to finish it (or get it "finished enough"), so at least at this point there's a max of two more evenings of eyestrain!

(And it was a good day off!)
