By Loniface on Art Fight

An informal Art Fight revenge for Loniface.

I've fought through pain, tears, burnout, and art-block to eventually draw this squishy thing. Her name's Scarlet, by the way.

Yes, the burnout from Art Fight was bad. What's worse is that just I was getting back into the thick of it with Naomi's piece, something happened at my work which instantly put me deep into art-block. The pain of art-block stings, especially when you actually want to draw, and no matter how hard you try, your skill just doesn't come through like it should. I tried doing some basic anatomy: hands, torsos, legs, none of it was working. Ideas were coming through like normal, some of which I'll eventually get around to. What didn't help was the nagging feeling that I was disappointing the artists I promised to give back to. I feel like I've been stalling for so long, and being so useless. It was a really stressful couple of weeks, but I feel it coming to an end. Energy struck me while I was trying to sleep a couple of nights ago, and in the morning I just got to it like I always do. It's weird like that isn't it?

If the other artists I've promised art to are reading this, I don't think you'll have to wait much longer. Just hang tight! I haven't forgotten about any of you!
