Still here, *waves* still inking Shiri's commission because OMG Transformers are hard! I lack the technical precision to do real mechanical drawing. I'm doing a pretty good job BSing it though.
Last week was... I dunno. I have a lot of stuff to do today, and instead I'm posting on LJ.
I don't even want to talk about the car, but as a brief update it is living on borrowed time right now. We're torn between repair and junking it to get another car instead. The inspection is due next month, which complicates things a little. Either choice is coming out of other people's pockets, which on the one hand is amazing and incredible and thank you because we can't afford anything right now, but on the other hand everyone is telling me that ultimately I'm the one who gets to decide. Nobody else, just me. Deciding what to do with other people's money is way more stressful than deciding what to do with my own.

Just wanted to say I'm not dead, basically. Hopefully my next post will be art again. Everybody loves art, right guys? Right? The last post was art...

XD Sometimes it is, yeah. It's usually not a good thing in drawing. It's like if you see a painting and the coloring and shading and everything is just gorgeous but the artist never studied anatomy and something about the people looks just really intrinsically wrong, then it just doesn't work. I haven't studied mechanical drawing, and I'm pretty sure there's some parts of the transformers I'm drawing that just don't work on that level, BUT! It's harder to tell that kind of thing with machines than with people. It looks pretty, and I think Shiri will be happy with it.

I think we're going with the repair option. Just got back from visiting with the mechanic again. He thinks the car has another year minimum if we repair it, which is really all we can ask out of an '84.

I... know crap about drawing, so I'm just gonna sit and smile and nod.

... lovely. That sounds... erk. I hope things work out.

Well, it's something someone who doesn't draw would notice too. Haven't you ever seen a picture where there was just something really off, even if you weren't sure what it was?

...Me too. I like our car.

Ohh. Okay. Yeah, I have, I think.

:\ *snug*

Also, Mom got a number for us that's a toll free call. So you could call us instead of us always calling you.

I'd hunt down some examples for you, but I'm feeling lazy. ;)

Whatever works best for you guys.

Everybody's feeling lazy. :\ I need to vaccum and take the dog for a walk, but I haven't just... I dunno. Had it in me.

kk.
