RE: January ProgBlog #1: really, really easing back in
Sometimes our body needs to remind us to rest. It sucks that it's being done in the form of injuries but otherwise we probably won't listen.
Glad you're getting somewhere with the hair. Can I get a haircut from your gigantic graphics card? It seems to do a pretty quick and thorough job.
Picking up old creative stuff sure seems like a way to gain confidence and see how you've improved over time. I guess I'm gonna do the same. It might help me move forward with my current ( Dino ) story.

I advise other people similarly but rarely take my own advice ^_^; Like when I hurt my hand I struggled on (just changed the way I held the pen which worked out all rightish for 3d stuff but I couldn't colour very well due to not being able to change pressure easily).
The gigantic graphics card is currently doing the rendering. I did the haircut and you probably shouldn't trust me to do one of those in meatspace as I don't have an undo combo or curve guides out here XD
Looking at the old stuff was definitely good for me as I plateaud around 2012 (which I'm really glad about as it means I've been able to move forward, prior to that it was just a lot of repeat work because starting over was quicker and easier than fixing the old crap stuff, but can also be a bit of a downer because you don't notice improvements because they're now so miniscule).
Hope looking at old stuff gives you some motivation or new ideas, whichever it is you need :D
