Various and sundry: HP fanart, my original manga, reccing, running, and some Clay
It's clear I have a new fan-favorite of all my works at AO3: the HP fanart pic. 17 more hits and it will dethrone the current winner, which is my Yuletide fic from last Giftmas. The switch should happen by Tuesday. Heh!
My fandom sempai, Star-chan, and I have made a pact: we will work on our original stuff for a set time every day. Her an hour, and me 30 minutes--to start. You know, until I get in the habit. This means that, yes, I am plugging away once more at my original manga, starring Laurie and her demon.
The last time I worked on it, I was coloring the first page at an agonizingly slow pace. Like with a new manga title, the first few pages will be in color, then I'll switch to b&w. Now I'm back at it, with the HP fanart pic under my belt...it's like I'm a whole different person. Guys, I'm getting more done in half an hour than I did in three hours before the HP pic. My confidence as improved that much. WOW.
I am really amused at myself, because I left all these scrawled notes to myself on the pic about my uncertainty on what I was doing. And I never deleted or merged any layers, so Laurie's hair consists of 8 different layers. ^^;;; I want to go back in time when I was freaking out over the page, give myself a hug, and tell me to relax. I'll figure it out!
The first stirrings of this year's Yuletide have started. I'm excited again, and fully plan to participate! *rubs hands together* This year I shouldn't be as panicky and obsessive about it. It also looks like we'll have longer to write, which would be lovely. *knocks on wood*
This month ended up being my month to rec anime and manga fanfics at the massive rec comm![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van, and I've chosen Skip for the purpose. (For the record, I signed up to rec at the place a year ago, and it's finally my turn.) I'm going through my entire Skip fic recs library, from my recs page and the ones waiting to go up. It's good to share the best of Skip fic I can find! Well, the best that's completed, since WIPs aren't allowed at this comm. Most unfortunately. *sigh*
Had a little scare yesterday. I was rather tired, but went on my run anway. About 5 minutes in, a headache started, and about 35 in, hello nausea! I do believe I was suffering from early heat stroke syndromes. :P I walked the rest of the way home. Yes, I had a bottle of water with me, and yes I was wearing my usual summer jogging clothes of shorts and a tank top and my all-important hat. But there's only so much you can do. Anyway, I'm fine today. Not exercising this time, and keeping cool in this return of the heat. Meh. I love Hoth! *hugs her A/C*
In work news, I'm plugging away at Clay 22. Doing at least one Pink page a day, to get as many out of the way as I can before Natsume 14 hits. Still no fourth regular title, but I remain ever hopeful! And if I'm lucky, it'll be a good one, too. ^^
