Painted Spires posting begins.

Posting began at paintedspireson Monday. There's some really awesome art so far. Go check it out. Now.

In an insane bout of artistic inspiration I signed up for 3 prompts. The first one is due this Friday, April 25th. I'm almost done with one, though. I've drawn another, but I don't know if I'd call it done. The other artists seem to be pulling out all the stops with their pieces, so I've had to rethink some of my art. And, I suck at Photoshop, still, at least with digital coloring, anyway. Now, applying textures and manipulating text on multiples layers is another thing (I have a BFA in Graphic Design).

Nevertheless, I'm very excited to post what I have. Can't wait until Friday. My last piece is definitely gonna be a challenge, as it involves having to get the likeness of multiple SGA characters. I think Ronon and John tie in the category of hair-most-difficult-to-render.

I wonder. . .

Is it considered cheating* to make an icon out of my paintedspires   piece so I can tease ya'll as to what I have in store because I'm just so happy to have something done and just can't wait to post it?

*shrug*

*update: Funny. the LJ Writer's Block prompt is "What is your definition of cheating?"

Art progress update:
Artwork #3: Finished, waiting to be posted.
Artwork #2: Drawn, scanned and needs some love from Photoshop. Either that, or I'll attempt to ink it. If I get it done tomorrow, I may post it Friday instead of on Monday, my second posting date.
Artwork #1: Yet to be redrawn. I'm hoping it'll come out way better the second time around, since my skills have been loosened up on the first two pieces.

Writing: I have yet to start on the next chapter of "Back Home" but hopefully I'll have it done this weekend. Thanks for all your wonderful, insightful, and encouraging comments.
