day #365 - the end of an era

I thought I was on top of it; I had finished early and was looking for a movie to watch already 3 hours ago. And I don't know how time went by. A phonecall, some networking studying, some online shopping and here we are, already past the time for an early movie. Regardless, today is a special day. The blog is over! I finished 365 days of daily painting and recording it, whatever that means. A big part of the process I will have to keep doing mainly for myself. Perhaps taking daily photos of my work and saving it on some folder. This has provem useful many times when I trying to date a piece I've been working on. Also making a small diary of today's achievements. It's still useful. But this will be done for my eyes only. I also don't know if I will be continuing my obsessively daily painting. How would life be if I had days off? Now for example that I'm moving out and I have to daily chores that until now were completely taken care of, perhaps I'll allow my

day #340 - Scrapping

Today I pretty much didn't paint: Instead I devoted my time in VR sculpting. It was very enjoyable, and a real break from the escalating pressure from the days before. Though I've told myself that sculpting now counts as painting, I still felt the compulsion to draw a doodle on paper just for making sure I'm still performing the ritual.. This is turning into a psychosis. Anyway. The sketch is nothing, it was doodle based on the sculpt and I won't even upload it here. It wasn't good. But I liked the left hand, and I found funny that I was copying my own art!
With the sculpt I'm truly pleased. I haven't had fun in a long time which show how overwhealmed I've been with instagram. I also got to play with pseudo-shading in 3D and creating relatively fast cartoony sculpts. I also enjoyed a lot the design that I came up with! Finally, I liked the palette that I created a lot, and I even revisited it lated to improve the composition so it's even more appealing. This probably is the first time that I "finish" the piece with the intention of being eye-candy. It's a first, and yet another level of finalizing the work.
