Description constantly finding myself losing progress because of these long gaps of time that I stop working on art (Full time job and/or health)... Or as they say "Two steps forward, one step back"

When I was at ACEN, I did a few traditional pencil and paper sketches while killing time in the hotel room.  One of which was my main Bleach OC, Katrina, of whom I've been horribly neglecting.

Here's the original sketch that I had posted on my tumblr sketchblog

Of course it's based off my timeskip render, one of the few pics I had on my phone (because wifi was pricey at the hotel)

 

One of the things I wanted to start working on was painting lips.  It's a far cry from my previous complex coloring work and I know I have a long way to go. Pretty happy with how this turned out for being a practice piece and all that

Thanks!

I've started rereading my Bleach fic and I think I may be able to get back into it... maybe...

Not sure if I should continue it, as after rereading the storyline, I got myself back into that anxiety mode I had before I started vacation

It's hard  to be motivated with anything Bleach given the current arc in the manga.

I see
ever thought of making a quincy OC
if this arc is good for anything it's that

nope. I don't like them or the fulbringers.

Ranmaru would be the closest I came to Quincy.

I'm just going to tie up my fic and end it with including Pandora (which messes up the side stories that have Pandora knowing Kat first, but oh well. It'll be similar to how I reworked Orpheus and Lucia into the main story.)

I'm pretty much done with Bleach

I see
I understand your point. having a story still running without an ending is a bit strange
I plan to start wrapping up my bleach true power story soon enough as well

Well, unfortunately, if the creative energy isn't into it, the writing isn't happening.  It's always been that way for me. My original Mortal Kombat fic died without an ending, and now the rebooted version isn't happening.

I'll be posting the next chapter for my Toriko fic soon.

understood, it works the same with me
I have an idea on how I want to end my bleach story, maybe my last, but I'm still working on the details

looking forward to it
