Description

So, for those of you who have been paying attention, you might have noticed that in the past 9 months, I haven't really uploaded anything comic-related.
I've been in a bit of a slump and I've been having a hell of a time getting out of it, and the majority of its influence seems to be directed at my comics. Whenever I put pencil to paper with the intent to draw a comic page, it's as though the story doesn't want to come out. I've had a similar problem with writing the comics--I know what's supposed to happen, but I can't flesh out the story to the developmental points.
It's not even that I can't draw, but more that I have no will power to complete the pages. Even the comic pages I did 9 months ago (Demonics, X-iomania, Shark Bait, The Janitor Drank my Blood) are just sitting on my computer, waiting to be inked or coloured.

Recently, I've been forcing myself to draw different things out of practise--noses, teeth, hands, clothes, cartoons, chibis--slowly easing myself into working on full pages again. Writing my comics has become easier and I've started on about 12 BiOcular pages, different sections of each completed or at least somewhat clear.
I'm hoping I get out of this rough patch soon, because frankly, this is getting annoying.
