Feedback welcome! \u2014Kir, November 2020 **]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Well then.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1 &#8211; Life has had some ups and downs. Everything related to you people is up, except art from me, because I have been both busy (useful) and ashamed (because I fell behind). I&#8217;ll talk about that in a another post shortly. Please please in the meantime accept my apologies for being late with this image.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; I keep finding I have more to learn about the process from scan to download. Hrm. Maybe it&#8217;s mostly about seeing room to learn (and a need to give more time to) the <em>Clean Up the Image Time Before Vectorizing<\/em> step. (April&#8217;s downloaded is better, and May&#8217;s even more so, but neither is where I want them to be yet.) Maybe there&#8217;s a nice way to leave it all rastered and save the time? But I don&#8217;t know it. Yet? Curious.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3 &#8211; I have March and April and May images ready to post. Um. Er. If you are seeing this, you are seeing the March one!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211; Mystery Mail patron(s), I am both rich in ideas and stuck on some! But mostly I need to scan some things and apply them to things. A thing. \u00a0Or a different thing. Unless I get distracted by an original thing, inspired by a bird or two. Or the other <em>&#8220;what are you thinking, that&#8217;s a long project!&#8221; <\/em>thing. \u00a0(And THAT is why I like Patreon.)<\/p>\n<p>5 &#8211; About <em>these <\/em>dragons. I drew this rather a longish while ago, and meant all along to make it a coloring thing. You will not be surprised to read that a) I wanted to make a coloring book, and b) got busy enough that the priority of that has not yet been able to rise! I colored it too, and really do not (still!) like the colored version <em>I <\/em>made. I&#8217;m not even sure where the original is! I am <em>sure <\/em>I will like yours better.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Suggested, tips, tricks, topics, and terrible puns welcome!<\/p>\n<p>Still enjoying how turning illustrations into things for you all lets me make progress on a bigger project. And how wanting to make good things for you helps me make new illustrations and practice skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[** Update: downloads are archived after two months\u2014or more\u2014so patrons have plenty of time to access them.
