Presenting to you, protoype AKA mini version of "Bronzed Goddess", topless, sunbathing, cat-headed babe of the Nile.
The teacher didn't like the earrings I put on her ears on my technical drawing of her, so I put them on her nipples instead.

I took time to light her properly with two desk lamps. She took about 3 days to make, working in 3-4 hour "shifts". She looks so nice under the lights! And don't you love her tan-line? Inspired by all the topless women at Bondi Beach.
Here's a full-body shot.

The hole in her belly is where my face will be coming out. I'll be manipulating her arms with those rods. Her ankles will be strapped to mine so that she'll look as if she's walking.
This is how big she is.

Bow.
Also finished my gray-scale project for my color theory class. We were asked to pick a reference picture and make a gray-scale interpretation out of it using collage and gouache.
I picked Gustav Klimt's "Danae". I think she turned out quite well.

I think I am beginning to find some sort of balance. I went out twice this weekend. Well, I didn't really "go out", like get home drunk at 3am. But I left my house twice to hang out with friends, and I wasn't in a big rush. And I just watched a DVD, too. That's pretty special given how busy I am nowadays. So long as I stay in my area, having a life is manageable.
Although, I did spend literally the whole day doing homework.
Still... getting there.
Back to the daily grind tomorrow.
