One Week Sketch Hiatus

I am really sorry to do this. My new job is draining me of all my energy. My crew says it will take about a week to get used to the work. So I will post written updates for a week and continue with the sketches next Monday. Again I am really sorry! Please be patient with me. Once I get going with this job I will be able to afford to make this blog a bit more interesting!

Sooooo. I have been having a wonderful first couple of days. Monica and Margaret are so awesome to work with and I'm slowly getting to know the rest of the crew. Everyone is so down-to-earth and friendly like they ahve known each other since high school but only just met. It's a wonderful work environment where people can be themselves without having to try so hard to fit in.

In my construction crew Margaret and I are Flaggers. We are the people who stand with the stop/slow signs and guide people through the construction zones. Monica is a Packer, she runs the machinery that packs the soil to later be paved for the new roads and or fixing of the roads. However, the contruction season doesn't start till after the long weekend so we are cleaning up Nisku with garbage pick-up duty. Let me tell you, it's not an amazingly easy or fun job but working with Monica and Margaret makes the time go by fast and fairly fun.

Haha today we did alot of ditches with waters drains and tons of mud. Several times both of us nearly fell face first into the mud after slipping it in. Poor Monica drenched her foot thinking a patch of rocky soil looked solid and sank down to the middle of her calf! We both had a good laugh.

Anyways time for some relaxing while I eat and then making my food for tomorrow! Goodnight world, love ya <3

Sketch 18 - Purrrfectly Shocking

Misha Dallare. The anthro cat of our adventures party. She is emotionally secluded to anyone outside her trust circle. If you manage to get in the circle you are in it for life, however to get in may cost you one. A proud nomad, she is expert in the art of throwing and small weapons. Her element is electricity, however, she can only imbue her weapons with said element. With a secluded heart is there room for a love outside her family?

Sooooo much fun drawing Misha its unreal. Something about the sexy cat girls is just fun to draw....maybe its all those curves! There is a lot of debate floating around about what type of cat she is based from. Cougar? Jaguar? Havana Brown? Until her creator gets back to me we will leave it undecided (I prefer the cougar myself ... goes with the outfit and personality). Shes kind of like a fierce, cute amazon cat woman, no?

So much going on today, yet I did hardly anything. With how warm its been lately all the snow is melting far too fast and the roads and alleys are a slushy, muddy mess. Had to help my mom get out of the garage this afternoon because she got herself into a rut just outside the doors. And with three playful dogs our floors are a muddy mess. The sun is a nice change though ~

I also found out that a semi-local tattoo business called the Camrose Health Department on me for doing tattoos out of my house. Well not sure what a health department in a city 4-5 hours away is really gonna do to a person that has only done tattoos on 3 other people beside herself. And the fact they were volunteers and I didn't charge. Plus I use all sterile disposables and proper cleaning methods with a sterilizer on the way. So all I have to say to that is if they choose to come for me... BRING IT! I think the artist is just jelous because I do better tattoos then him with his 20+ years experience. (conceited ... maybe, but if you've seen the work he's done versus mine you might agree!) And I am in no way saying mine are amazing, I'm still learning after all and have only done 6. Very happy my friend informed me right away, at least now I can get all the papers in order. Oh well.

I am off to bed! Gym at early morning so need my sleeps. Goodnight world! Love ya <3
