It's well on its way at this point, but Happy New Year. I was tempted to start right in on a new topic, but then I thought why do that in the first entry of the year. Instead let's look back a bit and then look forward. A new discussion of a single topic can wait until next month. The first thing that strikes me about 2010 is that I fully intended to put together and show off a video made in DazStudio of pieces of an image with different lighting schemes coming together to complete the final image. It of course did not happen. I just couldn't find the time to do it. I doubt I will now. I don't think I prepped it enough to know what part of what layer goes where any more. C'est la vie de l'art. What I did do in the year was talk a lot about the covers and art of Killing Time - Horror E-Rag™ covering such topics as reflections, lighting, text art, and hiding pieces of images.
I fully expect to continue talking about the covers. Some of them I put together under time constraints, some began as existing pieces of unfinished art affording me more time to work on them. I just created a cover this month where I took extra time, pushing myself to the limits of the publishing deadline to make it everything I wanted it to be, not settling for what would be good enough. I'll stop talking about it now and you can read all about it next time. I want to talk some more this year about the stories that pieces of art tell, and how titling can add to that. That all will probably keep me busy a while. Beyond that who knows what I will write about. There are several covers I have not covered. I have five more to make for certain. I should already look at what comes next story-wise and begin planning the next cover. There's a blog post in that too. See you soon.
