Its been awhile since I have been around DA, and things definitely seem to be different now. Most of those I used to know seem to have moved on from their DA experience much as I have over the past few years. I suppose that means it is time to come back and make new friends and retry my hand at artwork again. I expect to be fairly rusty for awhile seeing as how I haven't done much in the way of drawing over the last 3 years. No more than a doodle here or there. Work has definitely kept me busy.

But now I am in a place where things are settled down. Bought my house a year ago. Finally love my job and the crew I have. And I have finally learned how to weld!!! So this means I do not have to spend hours every night in the garage practicing. I just ordered myself a new tablet so hopefully I can start getting some new pictures rolling. 

Not sure yet if I will be keeping any of my old characters or starting over from scratch. Penryn and Gadget are most likely going to stay but the rest I am not so sure about. I might work towards finishing the breed I started dreaming up before I quit. 

Anyways, just figured I would give a heads up that I am trying to become an active member again. Hope all has been well for any watchers I might still have left

Lol, so I was just cleaning out my folders like I do every time I finish a piece of artwork and move it to the correct folder, and delete the extras. This time when I went in, I found a lot of random sketches of horses.

Last night I had a few too many Michelob Ultras and I was on a mission to create the best breed on DA. haha There are layouts and everything. The problem is, I don't remember half of it, or what my intentions were with the other half.

Does anyone else have these moments? I don't drink very often, so this is a first for me. But there are some really nice sketches. I might actually use one to create something. And I am planning a breed of my own here in the new future, but I got a little overzealous last night.

I hope everyone is having a fantastic 4th! I had to stay back in the dreaded North Dakota instead of going home to Montana with the boyfriend because I had to work. *grumpy* Might go hang out with coworkers tonight, or be lazy and anti social and stay at home and draw all night. Not sure which yet.

Anyways I am out, just bored and figured I would post an update.

OK, so I am starting to build a list of things that I need to accomplish, and it has me stressing out. So I am making a list to help me a little.

To Do:
1. Kiriban for TheArtlex background, coloring, and shading left
2. Reference for fav.me/d8x91bz 
3. Transfer my 2 Nordanners to this file Make new references
4. Multiple Personalities background, coloring, and shading left
5. Order a Rukaan and make a reference
6. Start work on big project

Seems like a nice round odd number. XD It will be a full body with back ground similar to my most recent piece in my gallery. Just send me a screen shot. If no one catches it, I will move it to a different number.
