A new challenger approaches

So the writing is on the wall.

It’s been several months since I finished my 7-Star Challenge, and I’ve only drawn when A) paid, B)  for loved ones, or C) on those rare occasions when I couldn’t think of a video game to play*.  Sketching, save for recently, has been practically non-existent. As a result, I haven’t gotten any better since November.

In other news, Surprise just called and isn’t able to make it to this blog post.

So who has gotten better at drawing since November? Everyone else who is still drawing every week. That’s a bummer for me, anyway. Kudos to the artists it doesn’t apply to: you know who you are. Please note that I have vowed to destroy you. Good day.

Anyway, I have yet again reached the point where I won’t go and be fruitful unless under the watchful eye of the internet at all times. Also, I have some personal projects I REALLY need to start working on. Projects that might be my ticket to greatness and riches if I would just get off my duff and work on them.

Project Duff Offer Getter is go.

I’ll work up the rules tomorrow, but I’m thinking it’s going to be less stringent than the 7-Star Challenge, but greater frequency. I’m going to make this a daily exercise.

The last 7-Star was 23 weeks long, so I think we’ll make this project 4 weeks of daily entries, or 28 drawings. Technically, I’ll be producing more art in less time. If it goes well, I’ll extend it. I’ve done dailies before — did it for a whole year, in fact. Once you start cooking, it’s actually pretty addictive. I wish I hadn’t stopped, but alas, I, uh, did.

Okay. Resolution firmly in place, I go to bed. There is nothing worse than starting a new activity when all you want to do is nap after work.

*I just thought of one, by the way. Phantasy Star II. Never beat it.
