Not bad, though I am not sure I get the message (if there is one to be gotten).
Well my drawing of Panda does not look as though it has progressed much, but in fact I went over basically every part and touched up tons of things, added the hair to the left side, and had it professionally scanned at Fujifilm, a combination that I felt worthy of a progress update. Plus I have some news. But first the picture.
Panda 3 WIP 7 (9 months and counting [when will I get off my lazy ass and draw?]). Click image for full view and story.
Now some news.
This picture is to appear in an art book, later this year I believe. I am in contact with the publisher already, and assuming Panda grants her permission, and assuming I finish by the end of September, it will appear in an art book.
Depending on where it is used in the book I should receive $1 for each issue sold (per picture).
My drawing of August will also appear and falls under the same guidelines.
Assuming both girls grant their permissions (and they should, especially Panda who has done modeling for band album covers and magazines already), I will enter a contract and have 2 pictures in the book and make $2 per issue sold.
The book is called
Book of Art. A pretty straight-forward name I would have used myself had I decided to publish an art book (think of my software named
Memory Hacking Software).
I will know more details about it later and I will give details as to where it can be purchased and how, for those interested.
Now if I can just sit my ass down and finish Panda 3…
It’s really taking a toll on my sanity since I would rather be programming or playing a game or playing piano. I have to force myself to sit and draw each time when I want to be doing other things.
But with the prospect of money hopefully I will feel more inclined to work on it.
