The watercooler: a place to chat

I sung let it go in Spanish in my Spanish class. Good thing I can actually sing I was probably the only person who could actually sing for that project. Unfortunately that wasn’t what we were graded on I still got 20/20 and my teacher was all like “See? People who didn’t grow up learning Spanish can still do really well in a Spanish class.” She makes speeches like that a lot.

It is F**KING COLD here(13 degrees F this morning)..!

I slid into bed last night without working on any art coz it was cold; left work late-ish, then tried to help this person jump start their vehicle...the 15 minutes I was out there, my fingers froze- it took the rest of my trip home for them to warm up.

Went to the home improvement store when I left work tonight and grabbed some adhesive foam strips for insulating the windows; so far with what I've placed on them, the room feels less drafty & cold.

Trying to evaluate this and see if I need to add a few more pieces to effectively seal off possible draft areas to keep the warmth inside my room...

I'm happy because I drew 11 chapters of my next project in advance, I honestly didn't think I would do it before the date I had estimated to finish them. I have edited and re-edited them countless times.

I'm going to take a short break and will continue with the next part of the story very soon. Well, I really enjoyed drawing those 11 chapters, I'm not going to post them all at once, I've decided it will be one update per week.

[Shanny8]

Back at work on the piece; decided I was gonna add a background to this...so far it's coming along- hoping I can finish this tonight and start laying out the pose for the next piece.

Trying not to leave the house today but I'm going to eventually have to coz I need to grab some grub; the Chinese takeout I got last night wasn't as good- they overcooked the chicken this time...

[Shanny8]

Up/awake because the muscles around my right ankle decided to cramp up when I stretched in bed, trying to roll over- so I had to plant my foot on the floor(and walk around) to flatten everything & soothe the cramp out; then I had to get some water in my body.

Surprised at the temperature so far today...yesterday it did NOT get up past 30 degrees(F) the whole day; this afternoon it's at 33. Last night it got down to 14...

[Shanny8]

Finished the piece tonight- I am done for the night will start on the new idea tomorrow: the only thing I may do is gather up some reference/pics to make sure I'm doing it right...

[julias_art_universe]

don't get farenheight bc I'm too Canadian too function but I feel you a few weeks ago it was -36C b4 wind chill here

[Shanny8]

Did not start on the new piece tonight; my throat has been irritating me all day so I'm gonna slide in bed a little earlier than I usually have been...

[Shanny8]

UPDATE: Welp, I'm officially SICK. I crashed hard last night...been sleeping in increments of every 4 hours, getting up to go to the bathroom, take meds, and get liquids in my body; eating a cup of ramen noodles rn...

[Shanny8]

Finally don't feel so much like crap today; throat is still a little irritated, but seems to be going away...I just got a LOT of stuffs to do(cleaning, laundry, some errands, and not to mention I missed out on my day job for the last 3 days). Been brainstorming & gathering reference material for the next piece that I want to start on, but most likely wont do much of anything today...my main priorities for today is to do this preventative thing in the kitchen, start laundry and wash my [germy] bedsheets, and get an errand run done(for trash bags and toilet paper)

[Shanny8]

Finished clothes laundry, but still gotta wash my bedsheets so that will happen tomorrow...I really should've went to the grocery store coz now it's late and I'm craving cookies or gummi bears

Had a bit of extra coin after a thing happened to me last weekend; so placed an order for my Naofumi nendoroid(Shield Hero)...I already have Filo, and may get Raphtalia after I make sure a couple of other bills are taken care of.

This is my studio...

Highly portable... Can take it everywhere I go (except to the next life)...

[Shanny8]

Welp gotta make do with what you have until you get a chance to get better.

Is that a Surface tablet?

[kyupol]

Thats a Samsung galaxy A8

[Shanny8]

The Naofumi nendoroid has shipped...waiting on that.

Got in my screen protector sheet for my 22" Huion Kamvas- been hitting freak out zones every time I worked on a piece & saw the scratches on my screen coz I'm SUPER heavy handed...so I ordered this to help prolong the integrity of my tablet.

[ArtGremlin]

Random thing I did today: type the entire Dinosaur Train theme song from memory in the comments of a yt short

[Shanny8]

Got my Naofumi/Shield Hero nendoroid in today..!

[allenT]
