Prototyping

We had a busy weekend, with myself and my husband taking turns feeling sickly. I 'worked' a few hours at the new job, watching some other folks work, chatting with the new boss and getting a feel for how my day might run. We also helped my sister move into my mom's house and played a whole lot of Lego Batman on the Xbox. We hit up our favourite pub for delicious grub and black and tans that I just cannot resist.

In between all of the excitement and sleep, I managed to get some art done. I'm in the final stages of work on my giveaway prize for Mrs. B's 31 Days of Halloween, finished up almost all of my Halloween swap packages (I'm taking a major swap break after this season) and was even able to work up a few prototypes of the vintage/primitive style characters I want to list in my shop. I finalized a few designs, and started to work them up. Tonight I plan to begin the painting phase on some of these little sprites.

Here's a sneak peak of one of the prototypes, taken on my not so amazing camera phone and vignetted with picnik:

When I go to list them, I'll take photos with the real camera. Since I wasn't feeling up to dragging out the camera and lights, you get a blurry low res sneak peak that makes his whiskers and mouth look pixelated. ;)
