The outer darkness
This will be my last post before I finalize my thesis project. There have been a lot of new illustrations I've done in the past few weeks, and they can all be seen in the journal entries I have compiled this year.
This year has been beautiful.
I was trying to reach a new level of pressure and stress. I wanted to push my limits, to see how hard and diligent I could work, how much pressure I could handle. How far could my body go with very little sleep and sanity? What work could I crank out in only eight months?
There's a very small part of me that wants to break. I want it to fall apart so that I can find a place to rest.
But I've been resilient, and we keep running and moving. There is no rest. Even during sleep, I prepare for the next task.
Once this is done, I'll take a day off - and then tackle my next project. I still haven't reached my threshold, and I'll keep pushing until I reach it.

Medical close up and...charts!
I've been burning through some "filler" charts, maps - to place behind images or in blank areas in the journal. I'll still be spicing these up a bit, but they are more for filling up space and I don't want to attract too much attention to them.
The top image, the medical journal, was written by my sister and then actually written - as in with pen on paper - by Jori Bolton. Both are amazing pals. Great job team!!

Thesis update
I started modeling and painting the "document droids" that float around taking pictures through the astronauts journey. Almost done texturing the little guy. I wanted him to look cute, but spacey and worn.
Here's a small painting of the launch pad at night. Below is the original thumbnail done months ago on a train to Ottawa. Still a great composition, but needed some tending to.
(make it better)
(make it impacting)
(make it move)
This is a structure on Earth, but I wanted to make it look mystical and powerful. Yeah! I'm about 75% complete my thesis? I think...and I hope I can crank out a ton of little paintings and pieces this week. Fill the journal and be done with this torturous beast I have created...

I could still make it better!

Gonna make it better
Back to environments....good to be back. Piece in progress - greyscale versions to test the strength of the composition, focal point and flippability. I feel it, it's flippable. Any takers?
With the newer version, I realize now that I should start bleeding some of the colors into each other - like the reds and oranges in the building into the blue purples of the ground. In time...
