Roller Coaster or Water Slide

Yeah, I think I am just going to step away from Facebook for a little while.  It is just starting to depress me.  It may have something to do with the whole leaving thing...but yeah...pretty much Pinger and G-mail will be the only tabs open until I get to Japan.  I may even try to go quietly into the trip with only using my computer to work on my drawing and painting and avoid social networks until I have had some time to reset these emotions.  Meh, I may do that whole video a day project attempt again.  The thought is that this time the videos will be less vlog driven and more pointless and unedited driven.  Just a video a day with no goal beyond that.  Maybe I will start today. *shrugs*

Over-achievement?

I am not not sure if this counts as over-achievement but I have a good feeling it is.  While working on a comic strip related to the Greg and Ace cartoon series that I am working on, I decided that it would be a great idea to make a 3D model of their apartment...for congruity's sake of course.  It is really starting to look pretty good.  I basically had the one cartoon that is started and the comic strip that is also started to give a lead to what their apartment looks like.  I just basically mashed the two ideas together and matched up where furniture was in one in accordance to the other and came up with a basic floor plan. 

Now all viewpoints from inside the apartment...or outside *wink wink* while always have the correct view of the apartment furnishings, walls, etc.  I don't know if I am pleased with myself yet.  I like that all my "skills" lead to each other but it can seem like a lot of extra work.  I also started using myself as a model for Ace.  Not sure yet who I want to model Greg after...but I have a couple ideas.  I like the idea of using real people as models for this series.  Definitely helps compensate for my current low-level drawing skills.
