My latest sprite artwork for Era of Four Moons:
Confessions of a Creataholic
I updated my website
…So naturally there are a bunch of things that look odd, or don’t work, or whatever. 🙁
I fixed the first one. The card game I coded a while back didn’t work when I first put it up online. Apparently the code snippet I used for sorting your hand neatly by rank and suit works great on my computer, but is too advanced for the server. So for a quick fix I took out the card sorting, and the game now works.
I still have a bunch more to track down and deal with, though.
Five Years
For five years (and a couple months) I have been working on the “first draft” artwork for Brotherhood of the Black Flag, Volume One: Flag in Flames. Today I completed the last page.
I think I’m in shock. Five years. I’ve been working on this draft for five years. And it’s DONE!!! It’s done, done, done, done, DONE!!!! Yeeehaw!!!
Of course, I still have edits and betareaders comments and more edits. But I can wait to think about all that tomorrow. Today I’m going celebrate.
Starting with the Good News
Yesterday I managed my best performance ever in a round of disk golf (that’s the kind where you throw frisbees into baskets). I actually finished all 18 holes. I’ve never done that before. I’ve always collapsed wheezing and shaking with exhaustion somewhere in the middle.
Of course, it was the least atheletic of all the full-sized golf courses we go to — with only one notable hill to climb. Still, the last time I tried this course I only managed 11 holes, and the time before that about 8. So, go me!
This makes up somewhat for the fact that the family greeted the New Year with a round of stomach flu, and when 2012 arrived I was curled into a ball moaning instead of celebrating. Everyone else in the house followed suit a couple days later. Um, yeah, great way to start the new year. Luckily I don’t believe in omens. I think that I was out of bed and finishing a round of disk golf less than a week later, is far more indicative of how 2012 is going to go, than what I coincidentally happened to be doing when it arrived is. I’m pretty tired today, though.
