I have a new monitor to replace the old one that crapped out on me. It’s a little bit bigger, and it’s not really mine because I stole it from Kev’s setup but he likes his laptops better so there.

It’s a little bit bigger and more badass and even though it’s slightly off my tablet ratio I should still be back to drawing things and posting them here for you to look at. Also I had blood work done today and I’m a big wimp. Doctor shenanigans is why I haven’t been drawing/posting much lately.

I plan on using my sore arm as an excuse to not really do anything but sit around and come up with a new site layout today.

Okay, the bottom floor is starting to look a bit more like SOMETHING now (even though none of the cupboards have doors yet). I still need to throw in one of those repositionable chairs or two, but being the obsessive-compulsive that I am, I’m going to have to find out how they work first so I can make mine bend and fold and stuff. I’m also looking forward to modeling a couple tattoo guns and figuring out how those work too.

Disk commissioned me to do a 4×4 sheet of his character doing different expressions to use as livejournal icons. I was paid in video games (donkey kong country 3), so all in all it was a good job.

I’ve been staying up too late over the last few nights because I got all excited over downloading the Maya 2011 trial. I figured I should at least poke around with it for awhile before I forget everything. Right now I’ve just started a new building based on the tattoo parlour I scribbled out here.

Nothing’s textured or detailed yet, and there’s an exterior too but it’s not very interesting at the moment. The southwest edges of the two rooms lead out to the front door/balcony seen in the illustration, so if you imagine really hard it’s almost like I did do a render of the exterior.

One of the things I have a lot of fun doing is making all the drawers pullable and the cupboards openable with handles and driven keys (like you can see with the medicine cabinet in the back). Even if nobody’s going to see it, it’s still kind of cool, hurr hurr. I miss having a proper dollhouse, so doing things like that makes me feel better.

Took about 40 minutes.
