The final stretch has been entered. All the prep work is done, and it’s time to animate. The next three days will either go smoothly or horribly. I’m approaching it as if cracking an egg for breakfast; mind the shells.

I was going to say “see absurdism” but then I found out that’s a real thing and way to specific a thing than wtf feels. 2020, wtf.
5 days of overtime left.
Similar work.
Chapter: Work
I like what I do for a living but it’s not quite what I want to do. Continuing to stare at my screen to draw after animating all day feels like never ending work even though drawing makes me happy. The creative similarities are too draining to compete over long time frames, and currently bills are priority over drawing. I look forward to Saturday night being the start of the wrap up coasting mode for this project.
The first large project wrapped on Saturday, it turned out ok. Step one of project two took all of Sunday. Now there will be 1-2 days of relative calm before the rush begins again. I want to have time to draw again.
Man that is pink. I doubled a layer by accident and it was so obnoxious I let it go. I can’t tell if it’s hideous or not. I have a night of relative calm for the next 7 days so I’m going to take advantage of it. I found out the client loved what I made for the first project that wrapped today. That’s always reassuring.

Chapter: Behind the Scenes
While work is proceeding well, it is still a rushed deadline necessitating a few late nights. I’m ready for so many hanging threads to be finished. Juggling projects is no fun.
Art progress
Chapter: Behind the Scenes
In a moment of serendipity an errant brush stroke cleared a giant mental hurdle I’d run into here. I realized that instead of trying to force my panorama idea to work, I could just ignore the physics and Jurassic Park the canyon I need. Every once in a while something clicks into place that just feels right.
Now if only we didn’t need sleep.
So much to do

The weekend story boards were approved round 1, so now the rush begins. I’ll need to get creative on fast comics for a couple weeks.

I did not have much time to work tonight. The next three weeks or so are a slightly, but not quite, panic inducing practice in overbooked freelance. Paranoia has me accepting practically any work for now.
Stupid Bills
Chapter: Behind the Scenes
Characters: Munch
And I do mean the Buffalo Bill’s. My sports teams we set by my childhood years. The Bills will forever be the team that loses to the Cowboys in my mind. That’s how it was and always will be. Similarly it’s just a rebuilding year for the Browns and the Jets are over there.
