Art stuff to do tonight/tomorrow...
I’m fading fast since it’s late here in NJ, but here’s my general art plan for tomorrow:
Ask The Historians: one question
Seventh Sanctum Project: design at least two more characters
Tomorrow is my kid brother’s prom. I got old. I’ll also be seeing my friends tomorrow, so most art will be done earlier in the day or drawn whilst my friends are over and scanned...

In which I ruin the Gatsby trailer for myself
The trailer for the Gatsby movie has the word ‘cool’ in it as slang: Daisy says something about Gatsby “looking cool” and “always wearing the cool shirts.”
This took me right out of the trailer.
The Great Gatsby was published in 1925 and set in 1922.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first recorded use of ‘cool’ as a slang term comes...

Today's Art-ing:
Ask Rogue Squadron - one question
Ask The Historians - one question
Art for a friend (I’m drawing a hamster and sadly said hamster is not Richard Hammond but whatever I can draw him for myself later)
I need to actually get around to doing the ask blogs. I was going to do so last night, but I passed out from heat exhaustion instead.
EDIT: Oh, cool, I actually finished everything.

not-fun replied to your post: Debating taking commissions to help me earn more money for graduate school…
i doubt it’d work out, in all honesty. i don’t think anybody but the most popular online artists can pay their way through grad school via art :<
That was my thought, too - at most, it’d be supplementary income, but I’m really not sure if it would be enough. I guess...

Debating taking commissions to help me earn more...
I don’t know if I’ll actually do it since the likelihood of people commissioning me is quite low since not too many people see my art/like my art/etc., but I’m considering giving it a go to help get rid of student loans and whatnot because those are going to be hefty and not very fun to have hanging over my head as I move through life.
It’s just a thought right now, but...

Go out on Tuesday night, miss Botswana special.
Though to be fair, since I’m still waiting for my own car to return to me, I would have probably sobbed over Hammond and Oliver tonight.
And yet I would have watched anyway.
CURSE MY LUCK.

Tomorrow’s art-ing will involve the ask blogs. I’ve got

Of course, if you’re up for an art trade, too, just let me know! Since I’m doing ask blogs on my self-designated Ask Blog Tuesday, I’m going to spend the rest of the evening working on my character design project sponsored* by Seventh...

WE ARE GOING TO OTAKON NEXT YEAR, Y/Y?
ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY. IT IS EPIC. I WILL ALSO TRY TO TELL THE ORIOLES TO SCHEDULE A HOME SERIES THAT WEEKEND SO WE CAN GO TO CAMDEN YARDS AND GET GOOD FRIES AND WATCH MEDIOCRE BASEBALL. (Although they’ve been disturbingly good this year. Huh.)

Oh you’re going to be an AnimeNEXT? Nice! I’m hoping to finally go to Otakon this year myself! I probably won’t cosplay, but I still want to go and enjoy the experience.
Otakon is the SHIZ. I’ve been twice, and it’s absolutely massive. There’s something for everyone there, though!

Art things to do today...
Art trades - I’ve currently got two active ones and one that I’m waiting to do (until the girl on the other end’s done with her exams). If you want to do one, let me know!
One question at Ask Rogue Squadron
One question at Ask The Historians
I’m also thinking of starting to get to work on updates of The Historians early, especially given that I’ll be at AnimeNEXT...

I’ve got two more there:
One regarding Daniel Butterfield, the composer of TAPS
One regarding books on Cold War espionage
I’ve also got four over at Ask Rogue Squadron, but those take considerably less research to do, so those’ll be done quickly. I’m thinking I can finish these all tomorrow since none of them are splash page thingies. Yay!
I really enjoy doing these....

It’s online in quite a few places, so if you’re looking for it and haven’t found it yet, here’s a link for you to go and watch it! I doubt it’ll be licensed, but a girl can dream.
Season three doesn’t exist just yet, but let’s wait and see once Higuchi Asa gets further into the manga.
