State of the Artist 9/3/2012

View halloo! It's Monday, so it's time for another State of the Artist update, catching up with what's going on on Planet Kit. Weekly Words Peace is not something you wish for; it's something you make, something you do, something you are, something you give away. -Robert Fulghum (1937- ) Current Project About a month ago or so, I posted what seems to have become one of my most popular sketches, that of "Georgie," the strange lizard-dog-creature-thing I was commissioned for during Florida SuperCon at the beginning of July. Well, he's done! I am so ridiculously pleased with how he came out, as is my client (even better!) He looks exactly as I pictured him in my head when given the description. He just seemed to flow onto the page from sketch to ink to color, he was probably one of the smoothest commissions I've ever completed. I have to admit, a part of me was loath to part with him, I enjoyed working on him so much! But, I have a happy client, and that makes me extremely happy. :) Near Future Still planning to attend Necronomicon in Tampa, FL in October, but it seems as though there will be no 2012 Sketch-A-Day sketchbook to have on hand for the table. I know nothing about page/book layout for print, so it seems some research must be done before I tackle launching that Kickstarter, although I still have plans to do it! Next up, though, are more backlogged commissions and a Holiday Card design for this year. My card designs always include Panda and myself, but I'm definitely in the market for suggestions for themes or settings, so, if you've got a suggestion or two, go ahead and let me know! Thanks for joining me for another State of the Artist update, and thank you for your comments and input! If you enjoy seeing posts of new or in-progress artwork, please consider a donation.
