Feb. 24th, 2021 11:18 pmYay next blizzard round. Today was pretty deceptively nice for much of the day (chilly, but the sun was bright and made it feel warmer.) And about half an hour before I got off from work the snow came up very immediately. We're supposed to get anywhere from 4-10 inches, but it's hard to tell where we're at, because there's a lot of wind drifting it.
I'm trying to get my NaMo horse done. The end of the month has definitely snuck up on me. Tomorrow and Friday are about my only days left to work on it (since otherwise I'm working.) Tomorrow I've got plans, so really, I've just got Friday.
Tonight I worked on cleaning up the whites, trying to sharpen the edge between the body color and the markings. (Also going over the stark white primer with a much more toned down white-ish mix that looks more realistic.
White layers are notorious for requiring up to double digit layers if you want to avoid any visible brushstrokes, so... aaaaaa. I also have to do facial detailing, hoof and eyes, and figuring out exactly how I want to do color in the mane and tail. (It'll be a mix of black and white, but have to figure out exactly where I want the color to be.)
I'm giving myself a pass on writing stuff while I'm working on this... I only have so much time and energy!
Tomorrow Taylor and I are going to do another virtual hangout. (Which is why tomorrow is not an art project day.) We might pick a new reading project, they'll probably stream some Okami, we'll hopefully listen to some more of The Magnus Archives, and maybe watch some Umbrella Academy. We'll see.
I'm excited! I'd rather we could get together in person, but not there yet. My mom got her first vaccine yesterday, but Taylor and I both fall into the "general public" category, so it's likely a few more months for us.
I'll likely feel awkward as hell being on voice chat all day in a one-room blizzard-bound apartment with Alex getting a one-sided conversation, but... oh well.
