One side effect I've noticed about being a game tester, it has seriously cut down the amount of time I play games in my spare time, I haven't turned my Xbox on in weeks. Or touched my guitar. Or drawn!
One thing I have been doing a lot of, though, is working on customizing action figures. I'm working on a pair of Colonial Marines from the Aliens movie franchise.
For Christmas I received a nice Wacom drawing tablet from my older brother, I intend to put this to good use as I work on developing a little idea for a kids book I came up with a couple months ago. I've got a rough draft hashed out, and will be working with a friend of mine on illustrating it once things get more finalized.
I'm trying to get myself drawing more. While waiting for tasks, or during breaks at work, I'll crank out a little doodle.
At least it's something.
A guy I work with (a project lead actually) who has a band said he checked out my site and was impressed with my work, and may see about getting me to do an album cover for him, which is pretty alright with me.
