Snapshot Sunday - January 21 (Patreon)

Hello there Patrons!

Man, another weird week. Started out super low, extreme depression and stress really hampering my ability to get anything done, though towards the end it started to improve (albeit really slowly), it wasn't until Friday where I got to attend the Scribble Showdown After Dark show that was in Seattle that night that I really started to feel better, though going out to a crowded theater when Covid cases are on the rise is a little stressful in itself, but so far no sickness, so that's a plus! And I'm not super depressed currently, but I am pretty tired (a combination of being truly "social" for the first time in months as well as dealing with the roller-coaster of my state of mind).

Anyway, a bit wordy for an intro. The TL;DR of that is I was in a rough space early in the week so I didn't get nearly as much work as I wanted to this week.

That said, jumping into the breakdown, I did finish Mar's commission this week, and as I mentioned last week (I'm pretty sure), I was wanting to do some shiny surfaces with the lighting style I'm doing right now, and I'm actually really happy with how it came out! I probably still have areas I can improve on for the particular glossy reflections I can try with this art style, but there's never not room to improve, so I'm happy with this one! Also got some more work done on CarhinaShark's comm, getting progress on the linework and the clothing design which I can't wait to really get to work on. I really do need to find more excuses to practice clothes and design with how much it adds to a piece.

From there just a handful of warmup sketches from various points in the week. Pose practice with Onyx, some of them I'm pretty happy with, others not so much, and then another attempt at what Angel's default proportions should look like, or at least her more "commonly used" proportions. 

I feel like I'm rambling for some reason, maybe because my focus is kinda all over the place right now, so I'm just gonna wrap up real quick. I'm going to try and get out the feedback survey sometime this week, assuming I don't suffer from another crazy mood swing/depressive streak/stress overload/something else, but there's also a ton of things on my plate as well, so we'll see what all I can get done.

As always, thank you all so much for your support, and I hope your weekend was good and relaxing, and that you have a great week!
