Another ERB Mars character for today. This was a real quick one while sitting in the waiting room at the dentist today. Make every moment productive. :) Beat the deadline of the first pass of the big project. Finished yesterday evening. And managed to create another, separate piece of art today for the project presentation. Some day I hope to share this work. It's pretty cool. Today was more Cognitive Neuroscience art and tomorrow I finish up the last of the first pass art. I already have some corrections to earlier chapters that I need to take care of as well. Also on deck for tomorrow are two more pieces of art for the Bahama real estate development. Both roughs need to be done tomorrow. Today I looked at the clock around 12:30 and realized I would have been on a plane half way to Pittsburgh. Sigh.
I was going to sketch a long, lean four armed Tars Tarkas today but ended up doing a headshot. Less than two hours of sleep since Sunday morning, 6am and two very full days and nights of working on a project that I can't talk about or show has worn me out. So, it's a moody headshot. :) If you don't know who Tars is, well, you need to read the Mars series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tars is a Martian and is a loyal friend of John Carter of Earth. The art I am working day and night on is a large one: 3 feet by 5 feet, done in Adobe Illustrator. I have never worked that large in Illustrator and it has been a learning experience.
