misc babbling & a fic rec

I put the sketches for the current project in the mail today, until I hear back I'm free to work on the comic. I really want to try to finish all the remaining pages this month. I'm coloring page 8 and 12 right now, as well as inking the pages in between.

Coloring is *hard*. Man. I keep forgetting. For page 12 I couldn't decide on a color scheme right away... usually a version of the colored page appears before my inner eye and I try to capture that impression, but my inner eye was changing its mind on this one. So I fooled around with two different versions before settling on the one I'm (probably) gonna go with. This is one of the very few occasions where I'd rather work with Photoshop than watercolor. When one suddenly realizes that sky color absolutely doesn't go with the rest of the page eekwhatwasIthinking!, it would be nice if one could just change it with two mouse clicks.
***Fic rec: By way of makd I found this rather cool Supernatural/AtS crossover by killabeez: Days Like This
Gen, Angel&Dean, 9,200 words
Summary: Tentacles. Why did it have to be tentacles?
Great descriptions and character voices. A highly entertaining read. And I don't even read in SPN, usually.
***Today's sudden snowfall kept me from getting to Yoga class. Again. I was so looking forward to the class (so was my back, after a too long winter break). I made it as far as one block on my bike before I decided that it wasn't worth risking a fall, back pain be damned. The fact that everybody else I saw were pushing their bikes wasn't encouraging either. Three inches of snow are enough to slow the traffic in this city to a crawl.
***Over the past weeks, I went back as far as 200 entries to tag most of my LJ posts. It was actually fun to re-read some of the older entries. It's funny, sometimes I know years later exactly what fic I was reading or what music I was listening to at the time I worked on a certain project, and when I read what I posted back then, it totally jogs my memory.
***Haven't watched 'Bones' yet therefore still avoiding the flist. But, I've already watched Tuesday's NCIS. Loved it. Very gripping, and for once I had no idea how it all would end. I was surprised by every single plot development. It helps that I can't locate the LJ fandom so at least I'm safe from spoilers. Hey, flist, is there anyone here at all who watches that show, too?

[eta: and, watched 'Bones'. Excellent episode. From the preview I wasn't at all sure I'd enjoy this one but I liked it tremendously. Now off to read what everybody says...]
