What tall tale could a small, ugly little troll tell to impress a cute fairy?  I’m not sure.  This might find its way into my third novel somehow.  Maybe.  We’ll have to see.

When I need a break from writing, I will either go out in my shop and make glass beads and/or jewelry, or I will mess around with 3D, vector, and photo programs.  I really enjoy the 3D programs.   I’m not great at the visual art thing, but I’m getting better.  There’s a lot to learn.  In this render, I was working on my lighting.  I can see where I went wrong, but it’s good enough for now.

I find that making character sketches helps me work out the knots in my stories.  Sometimes it even generates new stories or suggests fun character interactions. 🙂
