WIP 🎃 & stream requests? (Patreon)

Hello my gemlins 💜

Two things I wanna talk about today:

First - I will be streaming on Saturday, Oct 3rd at 3pm CEST (you can look at my schedule on Twitch, it should show what time that is in your time zone!)If you have any specific request for what you'd like me to draw, feel free to drop it in the comments!! :) I'll choose one of them for the stream! Alternatively, I would also be happy to continue working on the WIP above if that's something you'd be interested in!! It's probably not too early to make a Halloween themed illustration :''))) 💜

Second - working on comic pages is a minor disaster at the moment. Let me show you what I have to call One Week Of Work at this point in time:

😫😫😫 help

This lack of progress isn't caused by a lack of trying, I can promise you that much.

I've spent every day staring at the canvas for hours, trying to get something, anything, down but nothing is happening. T _T)

This is why I would never even attempt to get any publishing deals that put me on tight, fixed schedules, because when it's not working - it's not working. There's enough times when I can somehow push through and still draw decent pages when I have to but this time no matter how much I scrape at the bottom of the barrel, there's just nothing to be found anymore dsfdsfgds (help)

The next episode is planned to be up 2 weeks from now and I'm still  ̶d̶e̶l̶u̶s̶i̶o̶n̶a̶l̶  confident enough that I can make it until then but for now the comic part of my brain feels very empty.  

Meanwhile the illustration part of my brain is highly active and I started about 4 different drawings simultaneously, all of which I actually really like so far and want to finish 🤣 So at least I can show you some of my more artsy endeavours over the next few days while I try to get my comic blockade sorted out!

I'm sure every creative person has these issues sometimes, if it's drawing, writing, music, acting or whatever, where you kinda get burnt out doing one thing and need to find release in something even slightly different?I usually try to indulge in other creative outlets in these moments, until the spark returns. Blocks like this always pass after a while, and I see no point in forcing myself through them because in my case that usually leads to mediocre or even bad results and I don't wanna make anything that I can't feel confident in, I hate half-assing things for my audience too :(

How do you guys get through blocks like this? I'm sure there's a lot of different ways to deal with them, I'd be interested to learn what you do!

So yea............... I'll do my best to get 👏 that 👏 next 👏 episode 👏 done 👏 on 👏 time 👏

And I'm really excited to stream and draw on Saturday, it's always funnnn to have company!! (I even set up an option to stream with webcam but no promises that I'll actually feel confident enough to turn it on, but maybe!! we'll see~)
