It’s not all gone, I still have a bit of soreness in the tendons BUT I CAN SNEEZE WITHOUT MY EYE HURTING! Yayyyy!! Haha I think I could use another session and maybe do something about carpal tunnel but I can do about everything normally again. No bag of chips is safe! (Because I couldn’t open them).<br />
<br />
But anyway! Quarantine has been rough for everyone I know, and I had to postpone my wedding which is such a downer, but I am surrounded by amazing people who have been there for me, so it takes the edge off. My friend Mondré from the Academy of Art came up with this really cool art “de-blocker” activity:<br />
We each come up with a brief character background and we switch to draw it.<br />
Here was his, for me to draw:<br />
<br />
“Character: 13yrs old<br />
Background: Escapee from a zoological experimental lab. Cannot speak, but has expressive eyes. For some reason character exhibits fear around canary birds, its disposition is child like, yet shows signs of ancient wisdom. Shows incredible strength without visual muscle build and a clear precise understanding of anything mathematical and science. It walks barefoot almost everywhere and it can speak to dogs. On the run.”<br />

This may be a bit of a sappy post. I was in the mood for a character sketch today, and thoroughly enjoyed creating this little lady. However, the muscle pains I feel after drawing are such a downer. Sometimes I feel that I wasted ten years of my life, my health, and my energy creating as a service to others, putting my own projects and needs aside, telling myself “I’ll get to it when I’m recharged”, which hasn’t been very fruitful when it came to progress. One day, I decided I was going to keep working, even if I was tired and uninspired, and I started drawing at my desk for hours on-end; doing my job during the day, and switching to my personal work afterwards, until I went to bed, which meant I was drawing at my desk for about 15 hrs on average, everyday. Repeat. Even on the weekends; I gave myself no excuse. I lasted a few days, maybe weeks, before I started feeling a dull strain in my neck and shoulder, but I kept going, and a few days after that, I had problems using my arm; looking over my shoulder; opening bags; driving stick shift; getting my work done; and I had a constant migraine. I thought a break to heal would do the trick, but work doesn’t stop because I need it to, and I kept going, afraid to ask for breaks, afraid I would be replaced, afraid I wouldn’t be able to pay my bills, and afraid my insurance would increase premiums and make me a less desirable hire. The pain never left since. I would go to sleep balling my eyes out, and I eventually asked for time off. I went to physical therapy; I got massages; I got shots; I felt better, then I felt worse again; I was told I had developed anxiety and I was holding myself too tightly. I was working out at the gym every day, and here I am about two years later still trying to find a solution. I don’t draw, my neck hurts; my shoulder hurts, my head hurts, my elbow hurts, my forearm hurts, my wrist hurts, my thumb and index fingers hurt... all the time. I can’t extend my arm fully anymore, I can't open a simple chips packet sometimes. I panic because I worry my mind will weaken and hold me back on improving my skills, but I’m not sure what else to do. Drawing was my best friend, and we can't hang out like we used to. A little depression crept-in with the change and that has been a bit of a struggle; I feel like I lost a purpose in a way, that I took it for granted: if I can’t draw then who am I? If I can’t work towards the goals I set for myself then what path do I follow now? What should my new career goals be? Will I ever see my name in credits? Will I ever be proud of myself for my accomplishments? Have I failed and should just accept defeat? Will I ever get the energy to wash my hair regularly again? Will I want to do anything other than stay home?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The truth is that I don’t know. Having to set aside a huge part of my identity is strange, because the rest of my options were never options to me. Nothing makes me as happy as drawing and no other line of work gets me as excited to pursue it as an artistic career. I guess I’m a work-in-progress right now. I’m trying to rebuild myself; I’m trying to come to terms with what I can’t control at this time. I was going to go back to school, I was going to create a new portfolio, I was going to design animated films, and I was going to paint again on the side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope I will find my "cure" soon so I can get back on track. I always saw this as a bump in the road, but it has overstayed its welcome.</div>

What a captivating character design! I love the body-modifications of the queen in the cenote level in "Shadow of the Tomb Raider". I grew really intrigued with her, and after three days of obsessing over it and feeling an overwhelming curiosity to see how she would have looked without the modifications, I was compelled to try my hand at "filling-in" her features.</div>

James Baxter is one of the most fun to look up. His animations are so smooth, his understanding of any character he animated always blows my mind, and the acting is fantastic. When this character lifts his chin up to take a deep breath you can see how James is able to communicate a 3-dimensional space into 2-D with so much skill. I'm always amazed at this level of knowledge. When I was an animator (that was my major before I took the plunge into Visual Development) translating a 3D shape in 2D while keeping the mass of the object intact was one of the most challenging things to do (which also made it more fun since the payoff can be quite rewarding).<br />

To be honest, I think it was the lady on the right's hairdo; it is rare to see someone with their hair up in that manner anymore, and even though she was relaxed in a t-shirt without any makeup on, I thought she looked stylish. The lighting is nice in that restaurant so I wanted to try my hand at recreating the moment (of course I snuck reference pictures like a little creep!).<br />

Here's a character I've been developing for a personal project. I obviously don't want to reveal too much of her story but I wanted something meaningful, relatable, and yet poignant enough to still make her a hero through the game. At the time I decided to create this project, I had been playing nothing but Assassin's Creed, and it was, for a long time, my favorite game. However, I love female heroes and I just couldn't resist! I am grateful for the creative fuel AC and TR games gave me when it came to practical weaponry and the option of stealth and fight-modes. When I first started on her design a few months back, I had a general idea of what I wanted, but I needed to narrow it down a lot to get to this. Her design is mainly based on the story, but on the other hand, I also developed the story around her looks, too. For example: her hair was inspired by Storm, my favorite X-Men hero, and I worked the story to fit the white hair in. Anyway, that's all I'll go into for now ;)</div>

She's the most touching character I've encountered in a game in a long time, on top of being so beautiful and charismatic. Her 20s flapper style mixed with Victorian Gothic had me hooked on her design. I haven't finished her yet but can't wait to share what I have so far.<br />

I'm trying to push myself to try different things, even if they're not perfect in the end. I've been paralyzed by fear of not meeting a certain standard, which, in the end, isn't serving me well. I've decided to stop sweating every detail and just let some things go in order to allow myself enjoyment when I draw, instead of disappointment. My fear of mistakes and not meeting my own standards has always resulted in a loss of motivation and guilt. Anyhoo! Just trying to find that sweet spot in my process; the one that will allow me to grow and get better naturally, by practicing and enjoying the journey, instead of holding back in fear of disappointment.</div>

Although I feel the story let me down a bit, the characters are amazing.<br />
