A FEW MOMENTS OF ANXIETY ON STEEMIT 😰

in #busy7 years ago (edited)

A short while ago I had tried a post on Steemit - now I guess we are up and running again.
When I first logged on, there was nothing at all, some time later I got my account, but it was about 2 weeks behind. Just to test I tried to post this under that header:

Is Steemit down again?


but transmission failed - so I saved it on a rtf doc as a draft:

a sort of chicken monster that might have interrupted steemit servers.


Wondering what it was? A DoS attack?
But I am glad we are back again!
What I did notice however is quite a difference in the Wallet between steemit and busy - the steem numbers are the same, but the account $ value shown on busy is much higher.

I try not to keep resteeming you all the time but then you keep posting my new favorite piece of art.

I missed Steemit being weird; perhaps that is a good thing.

hah, it's not even finished! just a progress shot after I actually screwed up the initial charcoal.

What a beautiful chicken monster! I really like how you rendered its translucent skin.

-upvoted and resteemed-

all by accident actually, thanks for everything. I will soon post the charcoal drawing as it looked before(I thought I screwed it up).

I experienced the same thing. It was like a little 'time travel' moment.

I love your chicken beast, of course I love animals in art and I also love chickens, so it is a win win for me :)

thank you - seems many of my monsters are "chicken" - sort of a play with words also. I had a drawing decades ago of which only a very blurry analog photo exists, so I wanted to sort of bring it up again. I did it again as a charcoal on panel, but in the process of imprimatura before painting it, I washed it out (fixative is not enough, I found out, I should have also clear-coated it first) . Fortunately, I have good images of the charcoal drawing, and I plan on posting them (and the stages) in the near future.

This is the old drawing - I had used it as a avatar on deviantArt:
CHERUBIM OF THE WEST REACH 002.jpg
I don't like to do the same, so I just used it as a general guide.

Lovely artwork!

thanks Carolinchen - the plan now is not to screw it up again!

thanks Peter, I have that one saved in my pile of Steemit-related links, but did not check it.

Thank you - nice of you to visit!

finally ;)

Weird...
It has been taking a few moments for mine to log in, but no time travel yet.
The chicken monster is awesome!

thanks - glad you missed all the excitement.

I also had some problems these days. Two weeks of steemit posts were completely missing. Then it was down (I guess when they fixed it) and after a while everything was up again.

I love this creature - for me it's not a monster though :P It has such a warm and caring expression..

haha, thanks - the caring expression - must be in the eyes ........

owoh i love this, is it a ra's eagle? is it a strange wise hawk??? so mystical and full with mystery ! love your colours and technique !!! * ___ *

upvotes and resteems

thank you, more to come - unfinished, and the colors are simply charcoal, white, sepia ink and a bit of reddish-brown pigment so far.
