Well, I had one little rush-job for one L5R card image last week...
Now I'm being VERY lazy and unproductive (watching tv, doing sudoku, reading lots of books, playing with dolls, surfing the internet), even though I have Westercon coming up--with several panels in the art show reserved and some appearance on panels in the programming (art track stuff). And that's over July 4th weekend... I will probably be last-minute with everything again. (sigh).
Luckily I now have a ton of stuff just lying about and haven't really worried (although I SHOULD) about doing new stuff for art shows... I've been on-and-off in being inspired to paint something new... I'm going to try and get one or two paintings done--pure fantasy images, but maybe not until Worldcon!
I've got a mess of cons coming up in the summer (Westercon in July, GenCon, WorldCon), plus a trip to Italy next month... geesh...
I'm missing ComicCon because the Italy trip was pushed back to July (because of a HUGE mistake on my part--basically I forgot that my passport needed to be renewed... gah!). Oh, well... I'm feeling very lazy, as I said, so I guess I won't miss much at ComicCon. I only half-heartedly did Artist Alley last year since it was last-minute and only half a table... ComicCon is a fun con to walk about, though. Lots to see. And there was a Super Dollfie/BJD MeetUp, too... I'll miss that. And miss seeing people. But hopefully I'll see most of them at GenCon...

Antelope Girl (I need a better title!)
I took a SmArt School online class with Dan Dos Santos, February-May 2016. It was fantastic! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Dan's an amazing teacher.
SmArt School Website
The first assignment was a portrait of some kind.
Sketch of a sort of winter queen elf... (yeah, it needs a lot more thought! like can we have something a bit more detailled? story and personality -wise?)
Digital (Photoshop and Wacom Intuos)
Dan suggested maybe more of a headdress... I couldn't make it work, snow-queen-wise... My wintery designs were crap. So I went in another direction... Went for a more desert-like style and changed her to an antelope girl, and made her fa

Back! (No promises about posting more often, tho')
So 2015 was all medical problems. Wow. Never saw hospitals and doctors so much! Never had medical problems (of that magnitude) before... Never had stitches or broken bones or whatever. So it was all an experience. Seems to be as over as it can be, though. Still on some meds, but no big deal.
I have NOT been doing any card art... so anyone interested in more of that won't be getting any news.
I did do another SmArt School! Seriously, a GREAT program that is on-going: Online hard-core fantasy illustration with the best guys in the business, online, with some great fellow students! I took a class with Dan DosSantos as instructor. He
Been Gone for a While...
Sorry... I've been busy lately with health issues! Haven't done anything much all year aside from dealing with that. But I've got some more fun things coming up. Just went to a BJD thing, the Volks L.A. Dolpa, which was great. And November will be the San Diego BJD Con. Going to a book conference in Oct. (GRL retreat) also in S.D. And then the holidays will make things busy.
No art or cons this year. I'll see if I can get to the IMC next year, or maybe do another SmArt School, but who knows? Not sure about the con-going. Comic Con is getting too big and crazy to be as fun (and it's been mostly all work and little play the last few y
