Hmm ... That's a Poser...

I want to do some sketches today during off moments, but unfortunately, I have no idea what I want to sketch. I could ask around for ideas, but I've found in the past that this doesn't generally receive helpful responses. People either say, "Uh, I dunno..." or they name off their particular single-minded fascination, which chances are, are way beyond the PG-13 rating of what I'm looking to draw, or I've drawn for them at least once already.

The sketches are for tomorrow's Holiday Grab Bag, so they should at least, if they aren't directly related to SJ, be vaguely furry in nature. I drew a cool development sketch of Faradawn yesterday that I'd like to flesh out into a full-blown picture, but an elvish archer is about as unrelated to SJ as anything could be.

As much as I love SJ, I must admit I do resent the way it uses up all the attention I'd like to pay to other things sometimes. I am not a speedy worker on anything, and the ever-hungry nature of comic strips means that if I don't work fast, then I must work fairly constantly. It's not the fault of SJ specifically ... it would be the same if I was doing NeverNever or Whistling In the Dark on a regular basis too.

I'd like to expand my repertoire; I'd like to spend more time writing, or doing larger furry art, or fantasy art, or even just catching up on my reading (I have way too many unread books on my shelf). And let's not forget that I'm now spending two evenings a week on my Kung Fu (the class is 1 hr 15 min, but I spend the rest of the evening recovering).

Bah! There's too much to do! And not enough time to do it in!

That drives me nuts. :P

Welcome to my hell...

      You could always draw me some Champions stuff. Goods pics of Titan. Or Phaze. Or you could draw Lady Phoenix for Mur. See? There's plenty of stuff you could draw. :)

And that relates to SJ how, exactly? ;P -TG

[praeriedog.livejournal.com]

      Oh! You were wanting to draw SJ stuff!! Well, uh, you could draw them reading SJ comics. :)

      Hey, just trying to help. Anything else you need suggestions for, just let me know.

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Say, that IS helpful. You know, I've got a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it. ;P

      Me? But I was only trying to help.

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Uh huh. :) Like you wanted to share those tasty nachos that time, right? -TG

[praeriedog.livejournal.com]

      No, no. That was completely different. That was revenge for something I've long since forgotten. And if I'd only seen that tear going down your cheek, it would've worked! But no. You had to act like it didn't affect you at all, then wait till I'd gone downstairs and guzzle a huge glass of kool-aid. Hey, wait! I still owe you for that! I've no idea why, since it's been about 15 years, but what the hey. Next time I see you, I'll buy you a big plate of nachos. And this time I won't miss any tears you try to hide!

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like I'd eat a plate of nachos you bought me! I'm not as stupid as I look, you know! ;P

      Oh, ow. I'd better not touch that one. :)

I have no idea what I want to sketch
How about something humorous involving Drezzer and mistletoe?
Draw Wensley and Ramses dressed up as hobbits?
er.....
me! (just kidding)
Leonard wearing that stupid pink bunny suit in A Christmas Story? (no, he'd kill me for suggesting that)

Bah! There's too much to do! And not enough time to do it in!

Hoo boy, do I know -that- feeling. *comforts*

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Hmm ... *ponders the possibilities...*

I see no reason for the grab bag to have to be SJ related. It is, after all, a grab bag. The idea is that you reach in blind and see what comes out. :) Anything Gneech-made is fair ground.

[brahma-minotaur.livejournal.com]

Finish that fantasy comic you drew a while back. The portal was activated. WHAT HAPPENED?

[elektron.livejournal.com]

You know... I get that feeling all the time.

Except I never actually get anything done.

So don't feel so bad =-)
