Watched Weyoun 6 again and I think y'all might be missing out on the idea that the Great Link does die out and Odo becomes the Last Founder and has to take over The Dominion. Immediately he'd dump the Cardassians and any other allies this side of the wormhole and take The Dominion back to the gamma quadrant to await whatever's coming.

Laas comes after Weyoun 6 so it's up to the writer if he becomes a part of anything and decides to take over The Dominion for himself.

I have got to say this game of let's distract ourselves from boredom by going to Imagination Land and coming back with writing ideas is working out great and I would like to encourage my brain to keep it up.

One thing I kind of can't do any faster is get to the greater batch of my art supplies. Just printed out a great reference picture of Sid I want to do on toned paper.

I could always buy more art supplies but with all I have it could only be a set of Mondeluz browns and tanned mixed media paper at the moment, no more shipping to this address, and the store that might have them is a day trip away.

Still have my mechanical pencil book so I can draw it, just not in the way I have visioned yet. Really want to use the soft drawing clay pencils or even get out the pastels and conte.

And we have to cut down because there's the possibility that even our beds go in to storage and we have to spend a night in a hotel for reasons of plot complications. The BJDs will start trickling in soon along with most of my clothes and a few other odds and ends.

It will only be for a few days not a few months, just having a purse won't be "too much stuff", you have two people in a mini van and don't have to make room for someone else's giant bag of things they won't even touch the whole trip.

I never put much thought to it before that a move could be healing but there is no other way for this one to be because the last one won the price for shitty. Even the apartment knows it's shitty, altho it's doing its best, and pretty much belongs to the earwigs now.

More rewriting the Spider-Man CYOA notes, the main timeline which I will then make deviations from. Decided that if I strip the Hollywood story back down to its bare bones in notes that the current version can stay. Usually a bare bones means a total replacement. It took a few years for me to toss the final comic book version of the boy band story and I can't remember if I have the gay guys one in that form but everything else goes scorched draft with each newer one.

Mostly its because I think, for now, I do have a pretty decent thing going, and it's the longest I've written yet. Only if the subsequent rewrite really does change everything for the better can the past one go.

But it also serves as a bit of a copywrite because of the metadata on the file and its modified dates.

Shakespeare & Marlowe: Part Two

I mentioned a couple of posts back that I made a whole series of abstract mixed-media pieces that were inspired by and based on the lives and works of William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe. My first drawings were based on the supposed portraits of them both.

I started by tracing the outline of the portrait subjects using a light box and a fine pencil and then used watercolour pencils (these were the Koh-I-Noor Mondeluz watercolour pencils) making the colour quite vibrant by pressing quite hard but leaving enough space for it to blend. I also used some 'regular' coloured pencils (I forget what brand they were) for lines that I didn't want to lose once I started painting. I then used a paintbrush and some clean water to melt and blend the pencil marks. When painting - either with acrylic or watercolour/gouache paints or with watercolour pencils - I like to have at least 3 jars of water. One huge one (my biggest one is actually a big plastic food storage tub from a Pound Shop/discount store. I don't know where the lid is anymore...), a medium-sized jar, and a smaller jar... or just another jar I find in the cupboard under the kitchen sink because apparently, that's where I keep them. I don't really know why. I also have a box of baby food jars in the Stuff Cupboard Where The Electricity Thingy Is. Anyway... The big jar/tub gets rid of most if not all of the paint, the 'middle' one gets rid of any residue, and the last one stays clear and is good for diluting the paint and wetting your brushes. It saves you from having to refresh your water so often. The colours used were chosen to represent who they were as people and how they were perceived in their day. I briefly looked up the meanings of the colours that I had and went with those that closely matched the person. The one of Christopher Marlowe ended up a bit chaotic, but even if only some of what we think we know about him, it's rather apt! It was at this point I really got into the meanings of colour, colour psychology, and the ways colour can be used to describe things or tell stories - such as stained glass windows.
