Whoo, this poor dusty ol' unloved page. I'd been doing a lot less sketching than I used to, but had intended to at some point get what I had done uploaded on here, once I found my scanner again, among other things. There's been a lot going on IRL for quite some time that's made that take a back burner. >.<;;
It doesn't look like that's going to happen now regardless, though, seeing as nearly every single drawing I had (and *all* the sculptures and other stuff) burned in recent firestorms o' doom, as many of you probably already know. While severely lacking in Stuff, now, however, I did manage to get in just long enough to grab my cat, for which I am immensely thankful--some people hereabouts didn't even get that much. :C But yeah, it does rather set back all my artsy-fartsy crafting plans and such. No ponies left to remake, for one, and no wool roving or needles with which to sculpt it... it's going to take a long while to rebuild up my stash o' random crafting supplies, particularly since I rrreeeaaallly don't have the funds for it right now. I was thrilled and very lucky to find my external hard drive with some things backed up on it which I am sorting through bit by bit on my computer, but there's quite a lot that's gone forever into crumbly bits of ash.
Fortunately, what I DO have are some really awesome friends! :) I want in particular to give a shoutout to the spectacularly helpful
OnyxSerpent, who shipped a pack of art supplies and even reprints of the badges I had from her. <3 I have been getting back in the sketching habit a lot more again just recently, in large part due to the "need" to try out all the fancy new artbits that arrived in her package from Cali, along with a couple of budgie feathers and supply cases and even a little toy Bryndel. (And BOOKS. :D ...Cannot live without books, I tell you.) So yeah, pretty much any doodlings I post for some time to come will all be thanks to her. ;) ...which she might not really want the blame for, come to think, seeing as my drafting skillz are rather rusty, but too bad, bwahaha. ;P And in thanks for the awesome lewt, I'm not even going to blame her too much for the small gray skwerl that ALSO somehow snuck its way into the box she sent...
Meantime, 'twas also quite wonderful to see some old friends in Denver recently (which is also probably going to subject them to some bad art, in turn--be forewarned,
Idlewild, 
CandyFizz!). I'm also squeezing over finding old story notes/art that I don't have to recreate, which also feels strangely like spending time with old friends again. ...Which probably just confirms exactly how insane fiction writing has made me, but whatever. There are few things better in the world than seeing familiar, beloved faces again, ehehe. My REAL friends behave themselves better than the imaginary ones from my storyworlds at least. ...Most of the time. >.>
One of the many small pieces of irony in all of this was that I had started in intending to do the Camp NaNoWriMo thing this summer, where I was going to work s'more on a particular story of mine--the longer version in the same world as "Walking Through Fire," actually--which in this case means the novel where I start by burning the protagonist's house down. ...And then those plans got canceled when MY house caught on fire, instead.
Karma, baby. It's a bitch. <.< ...lol. At least I'm pretty sure the causes of this one were different than the firestarters in my story, sheesh.
