Day 689 of 365 More.

You know, looking at this makes it seem a lot more depressing than I thought I felt at the time.

I actually had a few really good ideas the last couple days. I was really happy with them. It was a good three or four day run. And I’m burnt out again.

A mere ghost of my former self.

It’s funny. The main reason I started this project was to push myself to come up with new ideas every day. I had serious doubts about being able to make 365 days. After the first year I kept going because I enjoyed the process and the challenge. Today is day 689 and half of me is amazed that I’ve been able to keep coming up with shit. The other half s]is in constant fear that the well is dry.

Maybe I’ll have something tomorrow.

Day 590 of 365 More. So I wanted to get a bunch of comic book stuff done this weekend, and I did. Five pages in two days. I feel like I’m back on schedule, and as an added bonus, I get to go to sleep tonight at a very early reasonable 2:30AM. That’s actually even…

XIII-Death

When I first saw Brae’s modeling page I knew that she had to be my death card. She had the perfect look for what I had envisioned for it. Exotic, sexy. Reminiscent of Neil Gaiman’s Death, but a little more dangerous. I had the base idea for what i wanted to do in mind when I first wrote her, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

I went back and forth as to how ghostly I wanted to make her. I considered putting tombstones directly behind her so that you could really see right through her, but the ultimately decided that that would ruin a rule I had set for the deck when I first started. Don’t let the background overwhelm the model. It’s something that I really feel about photography in general, actually, which is why I am so fond of the solid black background look.

In any case. 8 Tarot cards done. Only 70 to go. That’s better than 10% I’m on a roll!

Day 6 of 365 days. I really liked this idea but it never took off the way i wanted it to. I started working on it too late and I worked on it up to 11:59 and then stopped because I like to keep it real, dammit. In any case, the effect is neat and…
