Comments: It's Lena, Autumn and Aurora in a bowl of melting cream, ice cream, chocolate syrup, strawberries and cherries. I was gonna give them rabbit ear headbands but I didn't get around to it.
So, here's the long story about this.
The other day I had a mishap with my fish tank. Well, my hubby and I are in a bit of a pinch financially, so we weren't able to do much about it. Luckily, a 10 gallon tank at Walmart (literally just the tank, no top, no filter, no nothing) only costs $15, so we were able to afford it. However, I upgraded from a 5 gallon to a 10 gallon, and so the water heater that I had was doing absolutely nothing, and one of my fish is not doing so good right now, either due to the stress of the new environment (I had let their water go pretty much all natural with a decent amount of algae, now they have fresh clean water again but that much of a jump might have been too much of a shock) or because of the water temp (goldfish actually do best in semi warm water). Luckily there was a gallery opening at the art center tonight, and whenever I cover for it (usually just help set the food out on the table and keep and eye on it, as well as covering the gift shop) the director will usually throw about $40 my way for the help.
Ho-ly ******** there were SO MANY PEOPLE TONIGHT. I basically hid in my studio the entire time (I have studio space at the art center <3 ) but trying to get anywhere that entire time was like playing frogger, just constantly dodging people. And I usually am heavily affected by the energy around me, so so many people in a condensed space was draining on my body trying to keep my 'energy bubble' up and filtering out what was around me.
I was able to doodle this up while hiding for a couple hours in my studio, but now that I'm home I'm basically falling asleep on myself so I can't really take it much further. It's actually done in non-photo blue pencil (which I use for my base lines) so i had to do a bit of level and contrast adjustment plus switch it to gray-scale to make it even remotely see-able ><;
tl;dr: I covered at the art center gallery opening to get money for a new fish tank heater but I'm utterly exhausted afterwards so here's a WIP
