The cat, good light, and the newest volume. Woah, neat; just one more chapter, just the appendix, just the prologue of the next one - and the sun is up.

The cat, a console, the favourite game. Bleep, bluup, bleep; just one more level, just visit the merchant again, just solve this puzzle real quick - and the sun is up.

"Age of the Geek!" I loved this slogan of Leverage's Harland. For this programmer - and I am sorry that having to decide for one phenotype ended up this run-in-the-mill - I made some allegoric presentations and gave him a few knick-knacks while trying not to overdo it. As so often I used Blender for modelling a ref image. The snake is largely worked from photos; pythons' pit organs around their mouths unfortunately make them look really weird. I had a ton of tangents to work out and a bazillion lightsources, so there were a lot of small things that went wrong at some point, I am confident that I figured out most of them.

The notes trailing off her are the opening of Beethoven's Fifth symphony, possibly the best known piece of music in the world. Sadly, my musical understanding is only that of appreciation; it's fun trying to depict something immaterial and moving in a still image. Technically this was interesting because I surprised myself how many mediums I pulled together making this, starting in pencils, then going for powdered charcoal applied with water, watercolour pencils and finally even inks. I topped it with a bucket of fixative before applying the metal so I wouldn't brush off the charcoal - adding powder in water is quite enjoyable but it falls right off the paper.
