Mid-week Check-In

[soc_puppet]

And we're back on schedule with our mid-week check-in!

How are you doing with the moods you're working on? Are you having any trouble coming up with images? Are you zooming ahead, full speed? Are you somewhere in the middle? Let's talk about it!

If you're interested in sharing some of your images so far, but don't want to make your own post, the comments here are a good place to do that. You can also share any WIP images and ask for feedback on them!

"Bitchy" I'm down with; I'm proud of the idea I came up with, and just need to transfer it to computer. "Cranky" I'm reasonably pleased with, I'm just going to need to figure out a way to distinguish it from next week's "Grumpy". "Cynical"...

Listen, I'll be real with you. I've got an idea I like, but it also works perfectly, and probably even better, for "Pessimistic" down the road. Like, I did a quick scan of the mood schedule on my phone before sketching it out, and didn't see "Pessimistic", so I assumed that "Optimistic" being on the list but not "Pessimistic" was just one of our mood list's many quirks, so I went ahead and sketched the idea out for "Cynical". But then I got home to my computer and could actually ctrl+f, and there was "Pessimistic" after all.

So my options are:

Come up with a new idea for "Cynical", unrelated to "Optimistic"

Come up with a new idea for "Pessimistic", unrelated to "Optimistic"

Come up with a new idea for either "Cynical" or "Pessimistic" that compliments both the current sketch idea and the finished image for "Optimistic"

The image I drew for "Optimistic" is a rat drinking out of a half-full glass; the complimentary mood I drew is a rat that's pushing over a half-empty glass. I really want to come up with a third thing for a rat to do with a half-empty glass, but I haven't quite found one yet. Maybe a rat laying down in front of a half-empty glass and looking forlorn? That'd do pretty well for "Pessimistic", IMO, and leave rat-pushes-over-glass to match up with "Cynical".

Anyway, suggestions welcome! I may not take them, but I'm sure they'll help get my brain moving.

I really like your last idea of leaving the rat-pushes-over-glass for cynical and having a rat laying down in front of an half empty glass looking forlorn for pessimistic.

Hmm ...

Can you fit in 2 rats for Cynical? One knocking over a glass, and one making a face like "Of course this always happens."

I got behind again, mostly because life got even crazier than usual. I'm hoping to have a little down time this weekend to try to figure out where I left off and what I need to catch up on.
