Obviously it's time to do something to update myself. First, lets start off with a name change. WinterFlightDesign is a good start. And maybe update some of my images. (They are coming, I promise!) And then maybe dress up a few links and make myself presentable, again. (Okay, there's no promises, there.)

So, here's to a new start. Not necessarily a fresh start, or a good start, but a new one, at the very least.

Kennedy Meadows

Went to the mountains with Mommy last weekend. Went hiking around Deer Springs, the cabin, the regrowth, and the River a bit. Took a couple pics (see below). While certainly not restful, it was very enjoyable. BBQ'd and made S'Mores! Escaped the heat of the desert valley. Generally a very good time.

It's very hard to believe it's been 10 years since the 2000 fires. It's hard to see how devastated the land-sides still are. Skeletons of trees standing charred and naked on the hillsides, surrounded by the pale-colored brush that is slowly taking back the ground.



In other news, I think I gave up on coloring. I'll still do it, but in my own time. I don't work well with time restraints (like we didn't see that one coming, right?) so it's easier I don't try to confine myself to too many of them at a time. (That sounds like a bad pun in the making.) Until I find something that grabs my muse and demands my undivided attention until it's done, that is.

I got my (ninja) llama! 500(+) badges! And creeping up on 7K pageviews. And... I think that's all I've got for this update. Catch ya laters.

So, it's that time again. Time for another :iconcolor-me-club: coloring contest. This month the theme is 'under water' and the lines are:
I suspect I will again get about a week into coloring when I take a look at the competition and lose faith in my abilities, again, and give up on entering, but for the moment, I have started. I'm thinking I'll try some textures and overlays. We shall see.

In other news
  • I am getting precariously close to hitting 6K page views! If someone catches it, I... well, I dunno what I'll do, but I'll try to think of something. Features, Llama's or maybe art? Send me a screenshot!
  • I was inspired to add another soul to my collection and had an idea to hopefully invite input for future designs. I am opening the floor to suggestions and requests. Suggest ideas as comments to this journal for Llamas and features. Every suggestion will get considered and get a Llama (assuming I haven't given you one, already).

Yes, yes.. It's a cheap ploy to buy inspiration from others... :blush:

And on to the features. Check out their galleries!

sionra :iconsionra: is the extra special awesome in my book. If you don't already have her +Watched, please go check out her gallery. (There will be images below, just for this.) Not only is she a superb artist (as you can see below from her wide variety of styles) but she is kind and generous! She gave me permission to color one of her more recent line-art images:

It's always such a great honor to get permission to test your skill on the art of a fellow artist, and I always feel overjoyed, and yet in the end I always feel underwhelmed by the results. I really hope she likes the results. :worry: I aspire to one day be as awesome an artist, and I know my skills are not even in the same ballpark.

Anyway, I suppose that's all I have for the moment. On to the images! :)

OMG, it's Tuesday, already?! Where did this week go. Strike that. This month? How about this year?! And to think, I got older on Sunday. Celebrating tonight with my mother, who gets older tomorrow. Just another day. Another week, month year. Do we really feel different going from one to the next? Anyway...

:icondavidhoffrichter: gave me my 100th Llama!

I have given up on the coloring contest. *shrugs* I may break out and do something after the fact, but not getting anything done in time, now.


In the interum, I am reading and playing WoW. ...and dreaming of a plot-line to make me long to write, again. It's out there. I know it is.




Weekly Features

It was hard this week to choose images that fit the theme in my head, which was humor. The images that I typically +Fav are usually sensual, or beautiful, or morose.. It made me question if I should even stuck to my divined theme as I crawled through my favorites and found myself disheartened. That's when it became a goal. I wouldn't let this simple challenge defeat me. But... What if my humor wasn't the same as others.
