Right, time to get things moving along...

* Still haven't gone whale watching. Was cancelled once again. Will attempt again this weekend.
* Sister got sorta arrested last week. Was given a trepass order by the mother of her boyfriend handed to her by the police, so she knows how serious it now is.
* Friend and I got into a feud last week. All sorted now, but it was a hellish couple of days.
* In a real art slump.


So anyways, moving right along.
This week hasn't been so bad. I'm actually rather optimistic about it, so here's hoping...
I'm putting the remaining trades/requests I have on stand-by on hold briefly and doing some art for myself. Not sure exactly what I'm wanting to draw, but we'll see.
I will do them. Make no mistake.

I just need a break from doing art for other people and not myself you know?



Next up; I just want to remind people of the contest I'm currently running, since it's almost Feburary, and March 1st is the cut off.
If enough people feel they really need an extension, I will push it to the end of March, but that will be the latest I can push it back I'm afraid. So if you feel you really need the extension, please let me know, okay?
And here's a refresher and update for those that are new or want to recap everything.




The competition is simple and open to anyone who wants to enter.
All you need to do, is select a scene, any scene of your choice, from my comic, Rings of Time, and create a picture based on that scene yourself. It can be any scene that occurs during the course of the comic, as long as the scene does happen.
You can use any media you want; digital, hand-drawn, whatever.








Your own original work please. No using other people's art or taking panels from the comic.
Backgrounds are optional, but remember that you are trying to capture that scene in the comic. A good use for a picture of just characters and no background would be something that's heavily based on the characters (IE: Fleeing the Meg could work without a BG).
Must be a scene from the comic please. You can design the scene anyway you like, but nothing like Tiare sinking the Titanic or such please.
If you wish to use a character that is not one of my own (Black Leviathan, Cariu, Puck, Kameira, etc...), please contact the artist whom owns the character for permission. Links to their dA pages are on the pages the characters appear on. It's only fair, as you are going to draw their characters.


The Character Reference List is below and will be updated as I get more done.



And for now, that's all from me...
Hopefully I may have some new art up as soon as I get outta this art funk I'm in.
