The Featured Creature 2012-13: Last Bites Part II, The Hard Walk

After the HZO and the hectic, mentally draining pace of October, November 2012 was quiet and fairly stress free in terms of production and process.  I posted pieces that I had mostly completed before hand.  However, the universe had plans for my stress levels that would test my very ability to survive.

Later that month, within the space of two weeks, my phone died and I lost my entire address book, my unemployment benefits permanently expired leaving me penniless, my vehicle died the true death, and I came down with the most severe case of bronchitis I've ever had in my life.  I feel like a bit of back story is needed here.

Psyche Delectus Tenebrarum Gallery Update

Within the Psyche Delectus, I felt that there were many pieces getting overlooked because of their horizontal orientation.  I'm not quite savvy enough with javascript to program it to rotate and adjust automatically, so in the meantime, I've come up with this temporary solution.  I've added several of the horizontal pieces to the slideshow at a diminished size.  The transitions are a little rough between those and the vertical pieces, but I feel like it still works.  Let me know what you think.

Here's a quick zombie sketch from a few years back.  This one came from my traveling sketchbook, so this probably happened at work during lunch.

The Featured Creature 2012-13: Last Bites Part I, Candy Apple Heart

I began the Featured Creature posts only a year ago at the beginning of September 2012, but it now seems like an eternity has passed.  This has been a tumultuous and eventful year globally and personally.  My work on the Featured Creatures has followed a similar roller coaster path of development.

I had the idea of doing a weekly creature sketch percolating for several years and had never been able to actualize it before September of last year.  As soon as I began posting, the ideas and energy took off like a rocket.  I began the Featured Creature to help me keep my hand drawing skills moving forward.  It quickly evolved into something more.
