Anywho, I took two days vacation to extend my weekend from two days to four (the absolute best way to make use of your vacation hours, IMO) so I could get a leg up on some of the at-home tasks that've been hard to get to. . .
(Okay, I admit, vacation was really to get away from work and spend some quality vegetative time with the bed, the telly, and my sock-monkey slippers--mission accomplished.)
. . . including scraping the wallpaper off the last of the curve and blitzing the third dormer. Got it MOSTLY done, but I had to take a few photos of some of the Fake People I've discovered on the wallpaper before they disappeared forever.
First up: Elegant Lady. Elegant Lady reminds me of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (it's the aura of shoulder-length dark super-curly hair around her face that makes me think of MEM) wearing a double-layered wrinkled silk sheath and carrying a very thick fur stole draped over her left arm. Her right arm is bent like she's just brushing back some hair from her shoulder. I'll sketch this out at some point to practice my figure drawing--the proportions will need to be tweaked. Do you see Elegant Lady?
Second up: Cartoon Skydiver. Cartoon Skydiver is what the Michelin Man or the Stay-Puft Marshmallow dude would look like if they got bundled up in a helmet and jumpsuit and shoved out of a plane. Here he is, arms up, legs slightly bent at his little roundish knees, and he's looking down at the ground rushing up at him while his 'chute is spooling out at first deployment--it hasn't caught yet. What's your mission, Cartoon Skydiver? Escape the wall before I erase you! . . .
