So, after a bit of a break (which was partially caused by my inability to print and/or scan anything) I've posted another colored piece. The picture itself is one I've come to loathe but the coloring practice was worth the effort.

Along with that has come the desire to attempt some drawing again despite the fact that I never seem happy with what I draw. Still, I may take a new approach by using stock photos as references to see if that helps any with anatomy and confidence. But, I've also decided a few things that relate to my writing as well. I've had a great deal of new ideas brewing as well as some old ideas resurfacing. I've also had some trouble finishing some things and couldn't figure out why. After careful thought I think it's because I currently run a campaign that involves almost ALL of the characters I've created and thus, writing about their pasts directly affects their present and futures - which, I feel, would be cheating my players. Thus, I am taking a new direction in writing.

First, I will be attempting the very long and arduous task of compiling the previous campaign into either one large novel or a compilation of short stories (haven't decided yet).
Second, I have had the itch to further expand upon another world of my delusional mind's creation which may work out for the best since I currently have nothing but my imagination to hold me back for that world.
Third, I will be drawing - or attempting to draw - scenes/pairings/etc relating to each piece that I write. The hope here is that it will encourage me to 1) draw the same character enough that I'm comfortable with them 2) finish what I write so I can draw more and 3) so that, hopefully, I'll get enough practice that I won't hate what I draw.

It should be an interesting experiment if nothing else. I also may start replacing some of the things I've written with updated versions even if they don't make sense to the rest of the story just yet.

Here's to hopin' this all works!
