ting tings

One of my biggest pet peeves as an artist (and I've been told this shouldn't be one) is the fact that I can't sit down and finish something in one go. Except for things I shouldn't be working on. Case in point: the bookmark commission. I pushed myself for an hour trying to digitally ink those (not supposed to be digitally inked but I screwed up a lot of things and blahblahblahsuck) and it just wasn't happening. It wasn't clean enough, it wasn't tight enough, too thick, you know how it goes. So I put it aside and took a bit of time to play around with an idea that was bouncing around in my head and had been for a while.

I want to do sticker sets. Like sets of three or four stickers, with my own characters (and maybe fan characters later) and bits of lyrics. Each sticker will have a part of a lyric line or stanza and when put together it makes the whole lyric. So this was a demo. And I completed the bastard from start to finish in about 3 hours, including a break for homemade chicken soup (i love you, Davyn! best roommate EVAR!).



NOW WHY CAN'T I DO THIS WITH COMMISSION WORK? *fail* I'll eventually finish the other two for this set, probably in the same way I finished this. Now excuse me while I go attempt that inking again.
