I've been so busy today! Perhaps it has helped a little that the NT forums are down. I even had a little time for an afternoon nap.

I am currently working away on the latest two chapters for my fiction "Spirit of Fire", which I may post up here in its entireity. I had been struggling with 7, unsure why it didn't seem to be working well.

Then it clicked. It was the pacing of the scenes. Some scenes just went on for far too long, so I changed their order around a bit and as a result it's looking snappier so far!

I have also been working on two pictures, which I will post up here. One is a Sasuke parody request, and the other is a Kakashi picture that popped into my head. It'll be titled "Boo". It's my first try at drawing a fisheye lens view as well.

The Sasuke parody is taking much longer to colour than I thought, but I just have to remember to be patient. It IS going well so far, and I'm on a steep learning curve with Painter 8! I should try some quick scraps sometime and experiment with the various paints, find what I like.

Well, back to SoF! I hope I can finish 7 tonight at least so that my poor hungry beta-readers can have something to get their teeth into. (Thanks once again, Ash and Aethos - you two rock!)
