defeating the flu!

had the worst flu of my life.
even though i wasnt diagnosed at all,
i know i had the h1n1.
missed a whole week of work (oof).
anyways, im on the home stretch of defeating this evil,
and its back to drawing....for only a day.
monday is the first day of work where ill have to live there
for a while in order to catch up on all of the work i missed.

with the picture ^above^...
at this stage i was pretty happy with the start of the drawing.
looking at it 9 days later....
i think i should have proved out the lighting alot more,
and really attacked the expression alot more.
maybe exaggerating here and there,
and hopefully pumping up the image from its original reference.

on some other ish...
got to the 10 000 gp mark (now im g2-a grade) with cammy as a main char.
ive got over 1200 matches with cammy, about 1800 matches total.
also got 160 hours logged (holy crap) on the game.
ive learned a ton,
and im now taking on the japanese mentality:
"playing to learn"
once that happened, my gameplay has improved dramatically
and im just messing around and
winning more often and without trying.
my instincts are alot better,
and im starting to find patterns
alot faster with opponents online.

currently playing:
call of duty: modern warfare 2 (xbox 360) - finished single player!
street fighter iv (xbox 360) -g2A grade!
tekken 6 (xbox 360) -working on stupid campaign mode
borderlands (xbox 360) -which is now finished!
