Description
Sometimes you do a piece of art, and you like it a lot, but also know you can do better. I decided to post this, even though I fully intend on working up a "better" version.
Odds are, I'll be doing more than one of each variant, as I'm having plenty of fun so far. It's not like there can be too much, right?
(I suppose I should note here that I will not be doing art based on the Michael Bay films. They're crap, and Megan Fox came nowhere near doing the role justice. I am considering do the other two live-action variants, though.)
Hey all. So, personal note here.
I fully intended on coming back and being active again. Things here at home have taken a turn, and I just don't have the mental energy. I barely get enough motivation to do artwork. It's just not good all the way around. I don't want folks to think I've forgotten them and their kindness. I keep everybody in my thoughts and prayers.
There's a ton of pressure. Mom's gone blind, and efforts to secure additional help keep falling flat. Meanwhile, I've had one of my closest friends cut me out of their life. My older brother accused me of some BS I won't detail here. Taking care of Mom cost me a few good opportunities to elevate my writing career. All in all, I'm hanging on by threads of dry spaghetti.
I wish everyone well.
