I am terribly sorry for missing my regularly scheduled update on Monday, but Laptop Troubles made it unavoidable. Laptop Troubles seems to be fixed *cross fingers* (as much as computer issues ever are,) so I'm posting the weekly update one day later than planned. :)
First off, thank you to everyone who participated in last week's poll! I wasn't expecting so many responses, and they are much appreciated. Many thanks to
The overwhelming majority of respondents voted for WIP photos, so I will be posting progress pictures as I complete the winning piece... which was "Angler Mer," by a squeaker!
Unfortunately, I didn't get any LJ notifications about the poll or replies left in the comment section when they were left. Instead, I got them all today... O.o, so I apologize for not responding if you left a comment on last week's post, but I will be responding this evening. Thank you all so much!
So, on with the show! :)
Weekly Words
Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.
- Barbara Jordan, 1936 - 1996
I think as individuals, communities, and societies, we could probably all benefit from daily cookies-n-milk and a nap. Who didn't love naptime as a kid, and who doesn't love cookies?
... I wish I had some cookies now... it's going on my evening agenda: MAKE COOKIES.
Current Project
Today I'm posting a marker doodle done as a companion piece to MCA Hogarth's Mazalaen doodle posted HERE.
*clicking the thumbnail opens the larger image*
This is Qethryn. She is the princess of a land called Zalitraeq, an entire universe created as a joint project between myself and MCA Hogarth, in which we could play around and have fun exploring fantasy and created cultures and mythological creatures and whatever struck our fancy. It's a marvelous universe, and I am ever so glad to have the opportunity to play in it again. I highly recommend checking out the available information regarding Zalitraeq HERE where you can find information about the people, races, languages, and wildlife created in the universe.
While exploring the Zalitraeq pages of the wiki, wander around and check out the myriad of Micah's other many worlds, races, and published stories, all embellished with her striking and dramatic artwork.
The Qethryn dragon doodle above is for sale for $40 and is roughly 6x7" completed with inks and Copic markers on 9x12" acid-free paper. (Please note if interested!)
