Light…

And here I was expecting my weekend to kick off with me chugging away on Illustrator at home and spending my evenings light painting.  Nope. I unfortunately spent my days at a relatives house with no tools to use (Yes, I lacked paper and a pencil as well).

So here’s me trying to savor the last of this three day weekend trying to be productive-

I almost never watch movies, so it’s rare for me to reference one at all…
Rule 32 – Enjoy the little things (Zombieland).
In this case, the little things included nostalgia and tiny lights. I was going through some old toys I had when I stumbled upon some Beyblades (Older folks may just know them as tops, they’re the same to me). Lucky for me, I had some light up tops, so I ripped it apart and took out the lights to see if they would work. Out of the three I had, one still lit up after about 10 years or so. So those tiny lights were a result of that (It blinked on and off).  The heart shaped figurine was something I made out of some sort of clay when I went to a week-long art camp in 2008.  Fits in with Valentines Day I suppose.

I sort of just went wild on this since I had no ideas.  My mom turned on the kitchen lights when I didn’t expect it, which came through in here.  Oh  well.  Interestingly enough, you can see the stars in the sky which is nice.

(By the way, I haven’t edited these in Camera Raw or Photoshop)

I’m still working on the mesh portrait at school.  I’ve had to split my efforts into working on the portrait, and fixing my boot.  There’s a problem with the shading, and it’s a real pain to fix.  It’s that last 10% that counts, and I can never look at the silly boot with satisfaction until I fix it.

Will definitely get more accomplished this week.
