Aaaaaahhhhhh, we're so close to the end, aaaaaaahhhh!

If you've been following the optional moods, this could be your final week! If you haven't been following the optional moods (but still want to finish things out), there's only five moods left to go! Either way, what a rush.

This week's moods are: Contemplative, Nostalgic, Pensive

This weeks minimal moods are: Relaxed, Silly, Uncomfortable

This part's optional mood is: Productive

Some very thought-filled moods this time! Perhaps appropriate when looking back at a project that has taken most of a year. These moods also have some temporal aspects, I would say; Contemplative for addressing the now, Nostalgic for remembering the past, and Pensive for looking to the future. (Though I'm pretty sure that Pensive could also work for now, it's still a potential angle to explore with the moods!)

What are your thoughts? Are the moods coming to you easily, or will they take a bit more rumination? Do you need help or suggestions with any of them? And are you looking forward to the end of the year, and thus the end of the project? Let's talk about it!

Only a few more weeks to go before the end of this year's set!

This week's moods are: Embarrassed, Intimidated, Nervous

This week's minimal moods are: Scared, Thoughtful, Working

I, for one, am a little Embarrassed that I've missed so many mid-week check-ins for Part 7! Still, we're so far into the year, most people seem to have gotten past the need for them in one way or another. That said, I feel like it can be Intimidating to get so close to the end of such a huge project! How will it turn out? Will it be good? Will you have to re-do any of it? Don't be too Nervous, though; we're in the home stretch!

What do you think? Are you pleased with how far you've come? Are you happy with what you've made so far? And what are your thoughts on this week's moods: Do you think you'll have an okay time, or could you use some help and/or input on any of them? Let's talk about it!

Another week, another set of moods...

This week's moods are: Thirsty, Worried, Distressed

This week's minimal moods are: Nerdy, Okay, Sad

Oof, this week's moods. Just... oof. Too close to home! Well, maybe not Thirsty, though it's a good reminder to stay hydrated, at least. Still, focusing on doing something creative can be a great pick-me-up! If you make a thing, then no matter what else happens, at the end, you will have made a thing, and that's not nothing.

So, what do you think? Are this week's moods a little too relatable, or are you sitting pretty right now? Are you enjoying a distraction from the rest of the world, or are these pulling you back in? No worries if you need to skip out on a few moods here and there! If you're not on the Minimal Mood track, you've already got the basics covered. Maybe you want to skip ahead a bit and come back to these later; or maybe you want to knock them out now, while inspiration is so thick in the air. Let's talk about it! (Or not, whatever you're up for.)

The half-way point of Part 7! We're getting soooo close to the end!

This week's moods are: Restless, Nauseated, Sore

This week's minimal moods are: Enthralled, Happy, Indescribable

As someone in the US, two of this week's moods are a little too relatable, oof. Still, hopefully not for long! And in the mean time, they can be great fuel for finding or creating the perfect mood image; I know I've channeled a few bad moods into a mood theme drawing before, and it really helped me work through them.

How about you? Do you have a particular approach to creating or finding mood theme images? Do you ever relate too much to any of a given week's moods? Or do you just go through and check them off? Or maybe you're in a third option, where working on a specific mood can put you in that mood? (That can be rough for some of them!) And what are your thoughts on this week's moods? Let's talk about it!

Skipping the fluff this week and getting right to the moods.

This week's moods are: Guilty, Hot, Hungry

The minimal moods for this week are: Determined, Devious, Energetic

Of this set, I feel like Guilty is one that's a little more difficult for people making original art. When pulling from a fandom, you can probably think of a time when your subject felt (or should have felt) guilty about something, and go with that! Original art lacks that context, so you have to rely more on conveying the emotion directly through expressions/body language and/or props. But I could be wrong! Other people working on original art themes may be able to come up with something a lot easier than I did!

Hot and Hungry, by contrast, seem pretty straightforward, especially for original art. People working with a fandom may have a tougher time finding images to work with—though if your fandom had a beach episode or a trip to a restaurant, you're probably all set!

What do you think? Are you working off of a fandom, or with original art? What about making your own fanart? Do you think you'll have a hard time with any of these moods, or do you expect them to come easily? Somewhere in between? Let's talk about it!

And we're back for the final(!) major Part! The last really long leg of this journey, and perhaps, if you've been following the optional moods, the last Part for you altogether. At least, for this round...

This week's moods are: Drained, Groggy, Sleepy

This week's minimal moods are: Angry, Awake, Confused

Honestly, with nearly ten months gone by for this project, I think we're all probably feeling this week's moods! I certainly am, at any rate. Drained especially, but Groggy and Sleepy both also play a part. Still, it's also exciting to be so close to the end! And it's always interesting to try and tease apart the differences between similar moods. Drained has more of an "uurrrgh, I don't wanna keep going" feeling to it for me, while Groggy is more half-asleep (though the exact reason isn't necessarily clear). Sleepy feels pretty self-explanatory, and also seems like the perfect excuse for your subject to take a nap "on camera", as it were.

There's probably more ways to approach them all, though! What are your thoughts? Are you having trouble differentiating between some of the moods? Have you decided to only do one mood a week, or just whatever mood happens to strike you in a given set, if any? Are you looking forward to being done with your mood theme, or do you wish you could work on it longer? Let's talk about it!
