Another page from Invasion.
I've sent DFG one more page I drew over the weekend. So I kept my promise of cranking out one other page.
I didn't really enjoy it though. All weekend, I've been fighting back fatigue and so I wasn't focused on anything and got gradually more depressed. It didn't help that I didn't get any exercise all week - it's making me feel weak and sluggish. Also, I have hardly spoken to anyone who wasn't a co-worker all week, except Aggie who I talk to online all the time. I love Aggie... but it's not good for me to just talk to a person on the other end of a webcam.
So I'm back to square one in terms of how focusing on my projects is working out. I have to push myself to get out there and run, to keep seasonal depression at bay, and I have to push myself to socialize with people in my own area and in meat space. That will, however, leave me once again with proportionally less time to finish the work that I feel has been breathing down my neck for some time. I won't make any claim to being a great artist, but I do have an inner need to be working on my art or else I don't have a sense of purpose. So not having time for it because after my work day I have to perform social and physical maintenance on myself, even though I realise that I need that too, that I need to be out and about and meeting my friends, frustrates me.
I did no work on the other projects - I was going to read the script to Muscle again but I ran out of time. I overslept again on both Saturday and Sunday - it seems like I can't wake up in the morning anymore once the pressure of the working week is off me. Just doing that one not very complicated page was all I managed.
Well, that, and Christmas shopping, which is now halfway done. Only 5 hours of trudging through town and another 2 hours of looking online - so if I can spare another 7 hours next weekend, I should be golden.
