I'm back to life after about 2 weeks of the most intense work I've had since art school. I colored a Thea Stilton book for Papercutz! The characters are all humanized mice and everything is super cute and they go around solving mysteries and saving nature. One of their books is even titled "Saving Five Puppies." THIS IS THE SERIES FOR ME. The coloring style was more complex than the Power Rangers coloring I did, because there were more textured backgrounds and highlights vs just making a shadow with a solid line. But it's great learning new Photoshop coloring techniques!

When you work from home, it's important to go outside at least once a day. I went outside because I kept running out of food :POccasionally just for a walk. And of course, it was beautifully gorgeous weather every single day I had to be inside working from like 10a-5a (that's not a typo... yes on the good days it was 5 hours sleep). But after I finished the project, it's all rainy and crappy out like today :/ Why don't I ever get coloring gigs in the winter? Although maybe in that case, the stir-craziness could be worse, because you want to go outside, but at the same time, don't want to.

But I really like having intense projects like this - I really get into a groove of cranking work out and I'm really proud of the work I did. It's nice to be just working on one thing for awhile instead of 10 different things. Although I'm still catching up on the other 9 things...
