It's Tuesday and it feels like the week should be over already.

*groan*

I want a scanner.

Props to Adriana for taking the time to show an idiot like me some useful basic-anatomy stuff. Now if I can learn to draw a human figure anything other than face-on, I'll really ... never want to go to work again because I'll be too busy working on something that involves having a pen in my hand.

:P

Feeling a little blah tonight ... mainly, I think, overwhelmed by the sheer amount of unfinished stuff I have lying around. I showed Russ and Jacob one of the earlier renders of "All Your EVA Are Belong to Us" this weekend, and cussed myself out for not uploading the latest, best-lipsynched version. Which still isn't quite done yet, because there are still blank spots in the timeline which need to be filled in with appropriate reaction-shots, which I need to go delving through the DVDs to find. Which means more time. mrr.

There's a lot more finished on "I Don't Like Mondays," too, but still some huge portions I need to rip video for. And I'm running out of disk space. Hard to imagine, I know, with something like 70GB available ... of course 15GB of that is on a Linux partition. I guess I could boot to Debian and copy stuff off the NTFS partition, since I went to the trouble of installing the kernel patch which lets me do that, but XWindows and GNOME are being little bitches and I haven't worked all the kinks out of that yet. So much unfinished stuff.

Don't even get me started on the thirty-some-odd outlined/otherwise-unfinished short stories kicking about on my hard drive, or the novel which is one chapter in. The novel that is actually outlined in fullness, the one that's supposed to run about 60-70 kilowords, that I was going to try to finish for Worldcon so that I could hand it off to Ashley Grayson ... yeah. I guess I can try to pull a Nalo Hopkinson, have at least three chapters written and polished to show off with a synopsis, and grind out the rest of it AFAP if Grayson actually asks to see the full ... maybe.

I did a little more on my website tonight, finishing the writing portion. I haven't even bothered to put "come back later" pages for the videos and links sections; bad me.

And then there's this damn manga.

I love everything I'm learning about drawing, I love how the learning curve seems so awfully high (maybe I've just been looking at enough good art from all my art-chick friends?), but there's just so much work it's going to entail before any of it will be ready to display.

I wanna have something in a complete enough state that I can show people and have them go "Wow!" again.
