Wait, wait, hold your pitchforks! I am working!

Yes, as you know, I'm tackling "Chloe" from "JollyJack" (not putting his icon again as to not spam him with notices), and yes, the chromatic is near, don't get all quirky, ok?

It's just that when I started like... Three days ago, I smacked head first against one of those awful artblocks (or maybe it'd be more accurate to say that my mind went blank for a couple days), and I had to power through it, throwing sketch after sketch that I didn't like, scraping them up and starting again. I also picked a pose I'm not all that familiar with (I'm familiar with "parts" of it, but not exactly as I'm trying to make it play out in this case), and when I realize I might not be that good with a pose or concept, my hand usually tends to flow towards that dreary thing called the "comfort zone"... But you know I've got a phobia with that kind of thing, as I usually try to not fall there... so...

Yeah, basically I'm forcing my hand to do "what I pictured in my head" instead of "what would be easier for me" (if that makes any sense to you), and when you add that up with the fact that I'm slowly coming out of the aftermentioned artblock... Yeah... It kind of dragged my usual pace by a long stretch.

But anyways, this journal was meant to let you all know that the "Awesome OCs Challenge" is running, I didn't drop it nor did I took a break nor anything like that. I'm just hellbent on "drawing what I want to draw" instead of "what would bring up the easiest, quickest result".

In short: Don't worry, Chloe's chromatic will be out soon, and after that, the colored version before moving onto the third gal ;D So for all of you Chloe fans... Keep it in check a lil' longer! It'll be worth it.

Fate out!
