Lay Off! I've Been Busy!

I swear! Been updating portfolio, boning up on Illustrator, drawin', comic-ing (which I'll post one of these days), and of course, "ye olde favorite Photoshoppe":

Story: Last week I went to an animation meeting where they served deer heart marinated in beer for us to snack on. I'm still not sure whether I passed on it because of Bambi's mom or because the meat reeked of beer fumes. No matter, I had so much fun working on this that I completely forgot to sleep last night! Started around...uh...11:30 PM(?) and finishing touches added in time for roommates to critique as they got ready for school and work. *sob*

Initial Photoshop sketch, for those of you who do or don't care. Lines were tightened up using pen tool except for where I wanted crustiness.

And for those of you who may be horrified, here's a bit of cuteness to sweeten the day. Made from nostalgic girlhood memories of my favorite winter poncho. (which looked nothing like this)

I Hate Winter and Winter Hates Me

Cold weather always seems to slow me down. Somewhere deep in my brain a switch is set on "primordial" because, like clockwork, once the harvest season rolls around and snow falls I find myself assessing nooks and enclosures for hibernation potential. On the plus side I can walk around with a blanket toga without receiving questioning looks. (Either that or my roommates are as strange as I am)
