Have posted a photography gallery here. Will probably (maybe) post some new sketchbook images soon. Have been sick. Work has been hellishly busy. Plus, I have a broken window. Also, there was an earthquake and a thunderstorm (not at the same time) since I last posted. (The earthquake is normal. However, it is not supposed to rain in southern California during the summer, so people were a bit weirded out by the latter.)
But at least the weather has cooled off, and I am able to sleep comfortably again.
My first piece of post-DH fanart. A quick pencil sketch of one of the happier (if not the happiest) moments in the book. Since it has potential spoilers, the thumbnail is ( behind the cut )
To celebrate my starting a new job on Monday, I went out today and splurged on a new scanner and the Azumanga Daioh anime box set. (Maybe I should have waited until after I got my first paycheck... Nah.) So here's a handful of original sketches and a couple pieces of HP fanart.

Fanart:
Now to find something else to do to distract myself. Otherwise I'll start freaking out about tomorrow. No matter how many times I tell myself - or have other people tell me - that it will be all right, I still worry. It just seems to be in my nature. Probably due to the OCD. There's a reason why it's classified as an anxiety disorder.
Well, I managed - somehow - to get the scanner to work long enough to get the following piece of fanart. Whether or not I will be able to duplicate whatever the hell I did to make it work is still unknown. I even went to the trouble of making a thumbnail this time around.
For those who do not recognize her, that is the lovely Dr. Girlfriend from The Venture Bros. animated series. Click the pic for notes and the full-size view.
I uploaded several more pages from my sketchbook into this gallery. I know, I usually post thumbnails, but it's a pain in the ass, and I just don't feel up to it tonight. To make up for it, there are ten new images instead of the usual two.
And until I can either get my dad's old scanner (which he let me have when I moved) to work or buy a new one, there won't be any new images to post. Ditto for fanart.
Just a couple more sketchbook images. The second one is one of my favorites. (It's also the one that required the most digital touch-ups post scanning.) I'd like to do a larger, more polished version of it some day.
Inspiration comes and goes unexpectedly, so my sketchbook is small enough to fit in my purse. A lot of the images were done quickly to get down the gist of an idea while it was clear in my head. They're more polished than doodles, but none of them are what I would consider finished pieces.
I'm still in the earlier sketches - the ones you see here and in my previous post were done a couple of years ago. Each successive set of images is more and more recent.
Packing has commenced. I've always known that I was a packrat, but I never realized quite how bad my hoarding compulsion was. *sigh* It's a good thing that I still have a month or two before I move; I'm going to need it.
In other news, I've scanned a bunch of pages from my sketchbook. I'm going to be posting a couple at a time. Since, y'know, it's not like I have anything to actually write about lately...
