We made it back to Miami from Boulder in one piece - which is awesome, considering we decided to drive the entire 36 hour trip in one go. The ferrets weren't exactly pleased, but we supplied them with a bounty of treats... so they can't have been too upset with us.
Upon getting home, we found a stellar deal on a Cintiq (wooo craigslist!) and I found myself upgrading from the 12wx, to the 21. Seriously, it's a whole new world. It took me a few nights to get used to it and I still haven't grasped all of it's capabilities - but it is definitely one of the better investments I could have made this year.
This little guy was made as a practice image on the new cintiq, based off a 'hallucinogenic spirit guide' character concept from conceptart.org. I missed the deadline for submission but was still intrigued by the idea. I wanted him to be friendly, beckoning and full of ideas we haven't found yet. Somehow that part manifested as a yellow glow in my head.... perhaps I just miss the Michigan lightening bugs :)
