Fire Sprites

2007-2011
by Raederle Phoenix

In 2007 I drew (with a basic #2 mechanical pencil) a picture of three fire sprites collecting wood. The drawing was originally designed for the board game.


The original drawing, 2007


In 2008 or 2009 I decided to paint the drawing. I was fairly new to digital painting so I was easily pleased with the result. Now, however, I notice the low resolution.
Tip: Always use 300dpi resolution

The Original Digital Painting, 2008-2009
Tip: Always paint on a canvas (within your digital painting program) that is at least 8.5 inches wide and 11 inches tall. I aim for at least 15 by 15 inches, usually using 18 inches by 20 inches lately. The larger your image, the more things you can use it for in the future. Also, it makes it easier to work on the small details of your artwork.
In 2009 or 2010 I decided to refurbish the artwork yet again. Here is the current creation:

Vibe Logging: The Value in Tracking Emotions Through Time

-
Image
  For many years I tracked how I spent every minute of my time – and I learned fun facts about myself – over the course of three years of data my average time spent reading fictional novels per day was forty-four minutes. But eventually I stopped logging my time; I’d learned it added roughly twenty minutes to my shower to wash my hair, and that I didn’t feel happy with my relationship when we spent under two hours of quality time together per day. The experiment was a success, but the returns were diminishing. Then, seven years after the original time-logging project began, I had a new inspiration: vibe logging. The premise was that each day had a “vibe” to it – wistful, industrious, melancholy, frustrated, introspective – and that by keeping track of these vibes I’d learn something about how my mood shifted over the course of days, weeks, months, and – maybe, if I was ambitious enough – years. I’ve been “vibe logging” for four years now, and I can say this project has been an asto...
