So it's amazing how many people I know IRL who are also on dA. And haven't updated in years... (Actually, this would be every artist I know, barring Lee. And I'm not much better. I'm just lazy and don't want to scan stuff and have to edit it because the white always looks gray...)

So I haven't touched my pencil in a month, really. Err. Months. Ever since I started spending all my time with people and am totally self-conscious about drawing in front of them. (Although, to be honest, they have no qualms, and I've done better stuff than some of them. Except there I go again, being a critic...) I have inked a couple things for a friend- because I love the Microns I stole from Lee (ages ago that have already run out of ink, so I actually paid for the ones I'm currently using). I need to finish coloring some other stuff of mine (Carmen, you'll recall the bar-fight-looking pieces I was doodling at your place. One's colored. Yours is partially...)

Actually, I have touched my pencil. Dad (who I get the creative bug from) got addicted to WoW, which put him back in touch with his "I like telling stories" gene, and asked me to make a map of a world for him. (He apparently does quest stories better with a map to go by.) Me, loving to make maps, agreed. And then he supplied a two foot by four foot sheet of paper. Words cannot describe my horror. (The last time I did anything that big, it was in art class. The *only* time I've done work that big.) I have yet to finish drawing in the mountains, because I am obsessive and must add little shading details and not just have stupid-looking triangles. I should probably go back to drawing little squiggly islands where the archipelago goes. It would save my hand the cramps. Of course, with work picking up, I should probably take it home to work on, since I'm now too busy to fiddle around with it on company time. I've also done a couple cityscapes to go with it. Mostly because I like architecture, even if I'm horrid at maintaining perspective.

Because she is made of win. And I miss being able to peek over her shoulders to give unwanted advice for to better niftify her stuff.
