Of Saints, Dragonslayers, Kitchens and Chilidog Laden Trains.

This wasn't an art friendly weekend. Saturday was an early start to meet friends for breakfast, followed by replacing the kitchen ceiling and then playing single dad so the wife could go out with girlfriends for dinner. And it goes without saying that when Mom is out for the evening it's time for a trip to 2-Toots Train Whistle Grill, a magical land where-in chili-dogs are delivered by toy train.

When at last the kids were bathed, brushed, pajama-ed and down for the night. I took in the serene quiet of my home, lay my head for but a moment and slept like the dead.

Sunday wasn't as active but it did take an unusually long time to get the smallest of the rug-rats to sleep and that meant less time to draw before inevitably succumbing to sleep myself.

I've got two commissions going right now. One is of a miniature for hitechminiatures.com the other is a 5 page comic for Scott R. Schmidt starring this guy...

As mentioned previously I'm in the process of finding the reference sheet for Saint Ran. I did actually find time to sketch several faces this weekend as part of this process and I'm homing in on her face. The more I sketch the more I realize I  wasn't too far off the mark when I did this sketch two years ago...

Though since I did that particular version of Ran I've decided to update the hair-style to braids (as seen in Friday's blog post).

Here's to a more fruitful week!
