status: failing to stay on-task

[meeks]

First, here's the Portrait Adoption piece I mentioned last night:


It's not visible to the public yet, but those of you with PA accounts should be able to see it if you login. I've got another portrait half done, and a third one planned by the end of the month.

My task for today was supposed to be finishing up this picture of Jiro, Hippo-Birdy, and Lorelei to send out with the kickstarter update I'm planning to e-mail tomorrow. I haven't done that (yet! I will get to it!) Instead, I got started on it, and then thought to myself "It would be really useful to have a 3D model of that dragon mask to use as reference..."

Whups.

Out came the fimo...and away went my work day, so instead of a finished illustration, I now have this (apologies for the grainy phone pic):


And I wonder why my to-do list never shrinks. :P

Ooo...

I like both the portrait and the mask.

Those are both really lovely. I didn't know you sculpted!

Thank you! I don't sculpt often, because er...I was going to say "because I'm not that good with 3-D" but that sounds kinda bratty after you complimented me. :P Let's say instead that I usually find it easier to work with the illusion of three dimensions than with actual objects, but that it sometimes helps to build things to use as reference.
