Since I don't really have much else to put up here today, I'll go through a basic progress report.
In the past few days, I did manage to get a couple pictures posted here, they aren't much, but each and every one that actually makes it to my portfolio is something I have to celebrate. Also, I've been asking about dragon art, and the people who can draw those wonderfully mystic creatures so well. So everyone knows the reasoning behind my quest, I'm looking for someone who can draw dragons especially well, who also has the time and patience to teach me how to draw them well myself. I don't want to have to rely on someone else to produce the various images of dragon art I need for a project I'm working on. That brings me to my next point. I'm in the process of putting together a personal website, and I'd like to be able to do some of my own centerpiece dragon art for it.
I'm sure it doesn't look like I've done much here, but I've been hiding in my backroom taking care of a few PMs, posting an occasional comment, and trying my hardest to keep out of trouble.
I've also been doing my best to wait patiently for the Art of Otaku CD, which is supposed to be out this month. I did a review of the free Sampler a couple days ago, it's in my archive for anyone who wants a look at it.
Basically, not a lot of productive work the past few days, maybe I'll do something important this week.
Oh, I was going through the "Original Anime" fanart section, and came across a relatively new member here,
whtdragon. One particular image that stuck out to me was her reference image for drawing a dragon's head. It's not much, but for me, it's a very good start.

No, not a lot going on in my world lately. As much as I may try to have you all believe otherwise, I'm usually bored from lack of anything to do.
*^_^*
I got the PM, thanks for that bit of info.
Escaflowne was the first anime I ever saw, so I'm going to be biased when I tell you it's a great series. You really should see it sometime, but don't try to watch all 26 episodes in one sitting just because the mechanical animation director says he does it all the time. Trust me, I was stupid enough to try that once, Never again! I could go on and on about Spirited Away too, but my siter said it best: "You get lost in that film, you forget your watching a movie".
It's mostly cold where I am now, little bits of snow to the north, south and East of me (in the mountains), but none where I am, and I'll thank Mother Nature not to spite me with the white stuff this year because I can't stand the cold as it is.
Give me one of my sister's oatmeal raisin cookies over biscotti any day of the week (My sister makes the best oatmeal raisin cookies, always soft, raisins in every one, so good).

That's all right, not much was going on for me the day before yesterday, so you didn't miss out by not posting a comment. It happens to me a lot actually, I'll hit a spell when I don't have postworthy material, so things get boring around here. I do try to answer my comments though, even when I've got nothing to headline with.
As I mentioned in my post up there, I have been working on a website of my own. In fact, I just got the link up in my menu sidebar. It's probably the only non routine thing of interest I've done on my page here recently. It is still a work in progress though, so it's kind of sloppy looking at the moment. At some point I do intend to turn it into a portal for my photography hobby, as well as using it to suppliment my art portfolio here. What I mean by that is, I'll be hosting the artwork that I can't host on theotaku.com be it file size issues, off topic (non anime related or styled), or those that just dodn't make the cut.
So ends another trek across the Toxic Desert, hope you don't get lost out there on your own.
