the_gneechIt is of course the curse of every artist to look at the work of other artists and go, "Great God on a pogo stick, how do you DO that? My stuff sucks!" Even if it doesn't.
That said, I must admit to intense pangs of jealousy when I look at a lot of artwork out there ... particularly (for instance) high school kids scribbling beautifully-rendered stuff in their notebooks while waiting for class to be over, while it's taken me the past 15 years to finally reach something like moderate proficiency. Darn you meddling kids and your dog!
Of course, I realize stewing in my own juices like that serves no productive purpose, but that's why I write it down here, to get it out of my head. Hopefully that will enable me to concentrate on positive steps to move forward, instead.
(Also known as, "Shut up, Leona, and let Tiffany take the wheel!")
Strange as it may sound, this random rumination has suddenly provided me with the idea I needed for the title page of Orange Alert -- how handy is that? Better start drawing!

Double Yeah.
Heck, I'll quote The Beatles on this one.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"
