Two weeks ago, bought a webcam for a teleconference job interview.
Its destiny now is "pose reference camera"
Working on art assets again today--here are two of the three LIs so far.
Still not happy w/right's face (and hair?) or left's hand (and maybe shade down the eyes?), but it's a WIP.

three laundry cycles in a row now I've forgotten to give my drawing pad glove a bath
hmmmmmmmmmm
Drawing with a weak sense of anatomical construction is like having a rock in your shoe that you can't get rid of...
I can FEEL the problem and generally where it is, but I can't figure out what needs to change. to fix it

you know, a half a year ago, logically, rationally, I KNEW that I wouldn't retain any of my knowledge of C# by just reading my notes. I KNEW this
