About time, too
Today may be the first day in 24 days that my concentration is more or less what I'm accustomed to. It has been that long since that operation, and I sure underestimated the time it would take to feel "normal" again (whatever that means). The surgeons fail to warn us about the side-affects of an operation, and maybe with good reason. Who needs to be forewarned that they will feel lethargic and without motivation for the next 3 and a half weeks?
So, I am working on the big piece of art that was commissioned of me a few months ago; it is 5 feet wied, and has many fantastic characters in it. Some of my early challenges in the pencilling stage have been to be accurate with the character renderings, but not slavishly so, and to have most of them look as if they were shot out from a vanishing/center point near the middle of the art, and still keep them in their characeristic pose. It is a tall order, and I may have been douting whether or not I was up to it, thus the procrastination.
But, I think it is coming together well. Today is the first day I feel that way, and, while it is still a challenging piece of art, I feel like I'm beginning to take control of it, rather than the reverse. About time, too.
