Hamstring
So, I've been working on this one section of the comic for a bit now. And it has NOT been working out. The art looks like crap, the story's not flowing, and when I work on it, it feels like I'm walking up hill in knee deep mud. Still, I wanna get the damn thing out of my head and finished.
Despite this, last night I decided I wanted to get some serious work done. So, I switched over to another story in the same issue. Ka-Boomie! Not only did I get four pages Penciled, Border-Inked, and Lettered, I also did the finished inks for two of the four pages. All in one night. After work ran long. After I did the dishes, got cleaned up, and ate (leftover tacos, nummy).
The moral of the story: Um, sometimes a story works and sometimes a story don't. I think.

Personally, I think the moral is sometimes you have to leave a project and come back to it. Don't know how often I've put one problem on hold to explore a new idea, only to solve the other problem (usually in animation, but also in DMing or writing supplements, hell sometimes even on a personal finance issue) while working on something entirely different. If the solution don't come in my sleep at 4am, requiring that I get up and work on it right then, it usually means I have to put the thing aside for the minute. I'm hoping the web updates coming up will renew my fervor on the planar project.
