..and it's Monday again, strange how it seems to come around every week. xD most of my weekend has been spent playing with Althea and Amelia trying to figure them out enough to decide on colors for their blushing. i think i've got things pretty much settled, but i'm giving it another few days just to be safe. in the meantime there's (still blank-faced) snuggle pictures. i've taken one pretty much every day since their arrival, but since they all end up looking more or less the same i delete them instead of sharing. this one's cute though, and the lighting's decent. it was taken early this afternoon.

i think at this point they're more cousins than sisters, but i'm okay with that. i'm thinking that Althea is a humanoid zephyr spirit flitting about as changeably as the wind itself (once i finally get the magnets into her wings), but very protective of her loved ones and prone to fighting. her BFF Amelia is the daughter of a river nymph and a satyr, she's more dependable, but more emotional too. i've pretty much decided that anything i make for them to wear (they're currently in generic MSD clothes from my collection of F2BM/Teen Trends items) will feature their signature colors in it somewhere: blue for Amelia and lilac for Althea. i do want their wardrobes to be mostly floaty togas and wrapped sleeveless robes, and i've got something like 6 designs drawn out, i just have to figure out the patterns properly and get the stuff made. once i do that i'll be sure to take more pictures. xD they're very very photogenic girls.

i think later this week i'll sit down to actually do the modding to cover the calf-holes in Amelia's hooves, and also to so the fantasy blushing and face-ups on the girls. i think i've still got enough sealant to get it all done, and i know exactly where my art supplies are, i'll just need to make sure i'm set on the colors. and i guess i'll have to make sure i have enough space cleared from my packing blitz too. xD my desk is currently covered in stacks of art supplies that i'm not ready to pack away yet since i want it done cohesively and it hasn't all been found/gathered yet. there's also a stack of various sewing-related crafty things stacked to the side of the desk awating packing. and comics too, really i still have a ton to get to, though i'm realizing that i don't really want a lot of it anymore, so that's less to pack.

i guess the only other thing going on is Kyu did a few big tattoos this weekend, and we had some extra money, so he bought me the Tomb Kings Battalion box. i'm not letting myself assemble or paint any of my TK stuff until after we've moved and i've unpacked and organized though. i'm just hoarding my bits in anticipation of the reward of finally working on it all. xD this box puts me at a solid 2/3 of the 2500pt list i'm working on though. it supplements my previously acquired archers, both on foot and on horseback, and gives me half my planned chariots, meaning really all i have left to get is the specialty pieces.. warsphinx, snakey statue thingies, casket of souls, and any spot-filling units i decide on. i'm looking forward to getting into all of it, it'll be really different from my Dark Elf list too, so i'll have an entirely different experience playing it. xD
