More that the occasional blog posts have been devoted to a vicious loop of inspiration and disappointment. I have asked Venge many times to draw himself, but it appears that he is likewise uninspired. Every moment that a look to a piece of paper I have to look past the obvious image therein to an image of Venge. So determined to start running with my dream that I overlook anything else. I have purposefully deflected requests to create something not related to this story.
I have had breaks from drawing in the hopes that I would return refreshed and reengaged. I succeeded in only frustrating myself with inadequacies.. So, in an attempt to reconnect with my family, I have taken on the task of creating something specifically for them. I can still sharpen my drawing skills while not being weighed down with the burden of dream chasing.
Two complete images, not involved in this story, shall be the subjects. The last time I did something similar to this, I created the images of Venge jumping from the roof top in moonlight and the tip-toe twirl picture that I have become quite pleased with. Perhaps with this endeavor I will be able to create a distraction sufficient to whet my artistic edge whilst supplying a creative outlet. It also begs to reason that I may glean some ambition or insight to spark a resolution to the Venge costume discordance.
That is my subconscious goal. And if it turns out that my creative processes work better under these conditions then I may just have to adapt to accommodate them. Which, when I think about it, would be good news to remedy my apprehension about creating artwork within a timetable that is expected from a comic book artist. If I find that creating multiple images simultaneously is easier or more rewarding, then it may just be how I need to do things.
Damn I can be wordy...
Short version: I'm going to draw a couple pictures for my kids simultaneously with Venge's costume. I hope it turns out like I expect.
