Too much going on?

Some days I really feel like I've taken on too much. This isn't really a complaint as such, more a musing on why I continue to do this. Why do I try to squeeze three major projects into one short year? Probably for the same reason that I read at least three books at once and take on volunteer work at the Zoo when my time is stretched as it is.....I feel like there will never be enough time to do all that I want to do.

Most days I'm at peace with this and can keep it sufficiently in check so as not to drive my family bonkers, but there are times when it overwhelms me. The one thing that can stop my racing brain however is a time-table. I invariably put off drawing one up until the very last second, but the effect when I do is instant. Instant calm. Of course, I do wonder about the intelligence of someone who continues to put herself through grief because she hates 'planning', even when she knows that the planning is inevitable and so much better for her mental health, but there you have it. Humans are weird and contradictory creatures.

I've posted some pics of my new little dude, built and ready for painting. The strange magenta color you can see in the top photo is the underpainting for the skin....this is how I start painting all my pieces.

I've also finished drawing up "Greed".....only two to go now and then it's on to body design and costuming.....then I can start sculpting them.

In the midst of the mayhem our new puppy continues to be an angel even though our Siamese cat continually tries to lead him astray.

Hope everyone has a terrific week.

Till next time.
