Can't Post Now, Obsessing

All the stuff I’ve been doing on the whole Heroic Portraits front has kept me from posting any real entries this week.  Sorry about that, but I don’t see it changing anytime real soon.
I’ve actually tapped into the more obsessive aspects of my personality and have been plugging away at different graphics for the site with a single-minded focus and intensity that leads me to do things like forget to eat as the hours whiz past me, which is okay, as I can afford to miss a few meals.
Earlier today, for example, I kept telling myself, “Okay, stop drawing, take a shower, and go get something to eat.”  I finally listened to myself…three hours later.
The thing is, what I was working on was actually kind of…irrelevant.  I mean, it’s cool (in its own way), but not really vital.
Still, I couldn’t help but devote time to it, as it’s an idea that’s been kicking around in my head for quite some time.
It was originally intended to be used as a visual aid for a Threshold post.
It actually will be used toward that purpose, but probably not until next week, as I need to finish the companion piece for it.  I am actually oddly proud of it, though, so I wish I could post it now, but it just really wouldn’t work with out the other picture.  Sorry.
Anyway, I never got around to working on it until now because I didn’t have enough motivation.  Now I do (or rather, at this point, did) because it’s something that would also fit in very nicely at the Heroic Portraits gallery.
Sorry to be mysterious, but all will be revealed eventually.
There’s a lot more I could write about, but I want to get back to drawing while I still have time (bedtime is fast-approaching, especially since I’m going to get up even earlier in an effort to get back into the habit of working out).
I won’t be able to spend my time drawing at work (though I might end up recruiting Scott to help me design the Heroic Portraits site), so if things are slow enough I will most likely do some posting.
Until then, have a good weekend.

Hopefully the "mysterious" aspect won't build your expectations up too much.
