Ever feel overwhelmed but nothing done... In my case.. i often feel like that.
For couple month i felt like... i finish so little, add to that i went for vacation twice, so i am really got nothing done. But yet.. i feel i am OVERWHELMED all the time ... then i came to conclusion... i am BORED.
I know the WHY... lets proceed to HOW i manage it...
I decided to take day off, of making cliparts . I got comic strip on pending process, my travel review also blog... but... that all had to wait... NOT THE TIME yet...
So... i decide to peek the
Illustration Friday web... for this week topic is HOT ...
This will do, relax yet not far from daily things i do.
While i'm doing it.. then i realize what i want is something INSTANT , something that finish the day that i start it. I do consider cooking and baking... but.. i'll keep that for next time.
Yeap, INSTANT, because usually when i make clipart.. i took several days or week from sketch to finish, not to say the distraction and all stuff that need to be done on my daily basis. So get things done instantly can cure me, from this bored0loop that i'm going through right now.
And back to Illustration Friday... HOT is the topic, instantly i think fire and think think think , thought thought thought..... i end up with PELE....Fire Goddess fro Hawaiian Religion (?!)/ or Folktales.
I'm open my Adobe Illustrator, and just made it right there... now it finish it's reminds me of my
Badges Series that i made (click for more) ... Anyway.. it makes me happy , now i'm thinking to make another one.. (typical) lol...
At first i made this...

Pele 1 |
but then i explore more.. with hairstyle and colors... so much fun... but i stick with these 4 hair color.

Pele 2 |

Pele 3 |
Then... i think this a bit "DESIGN" than Illustration (that i want), i want something that i can put in story book.. .. so because i also have time...i combine my AI with Photoshop......and this was the result....

PELE (Fire Goddess) |
Looks like CHRISTMAS... lol... but i'm HAPPY :)
That's for now... thank you, see you next post ^^
