This WAS supposed to celebrate the long awaited Cintiq Companion that I bought, but that is a so-far disastrous tale, waiting to be told. (Trouble ordering, trouble getting it delivered… trouble nearly right out of the box. Clearly there were signs…)

Instead, I will share what I’ve been up to otherwise.

This past weekend was Victoria Day for all our Canadian Folks. I unexpectedly found myself scoping out the art dealer’s room at KeyCon, and enjoying friends I hadn’t seen for ages. All my work was put on hold for most of the week, as we also purchased a trampoline for the kids. No set up is complete without making a few mistakes… ::laughs:: That took much longer than anticipated. To make up for the lack work, I decided to switch direction… nothing feels like progress like adding a bit of colour :)

I’m fairly happy, although I’ll be the first to point out the line art is still far from done. But… I like the direction I’m progressing in, now. (I was working hard but stuck on the neck for an embarrassingly long time.)

So, that’s that for now. I am currently fighting with my Cintiq Companion, wondering if it needs to be sent back for repair or refund… nothing is worse than a monitor you can’t adjust.
