Ugh, so I've been off-and-on working on this comic and trying to finish it, I guess it's time to post a journal saying my "evening stream" is up, even though this has been an all-day thing.
I've been doing this drawing thing for months now, always trying to push out things both "good" and "on time". But time is an objective measure, and quality subjective... so even though I follow the same method for finishing a work, I feel like I've gotten lazier or shoddier with each stage, trying to do more work, or getting distracted and doing less work, all in the same amount of time between works. And I'm really feeling it come through in my comic right now. Each time I look at it, I see more and more things to polish up, dragging me down and slowing me down.
I've been in a writing mood all day. Also, a very game-design mood all day. No matter how much I try, my mind keeps going back to an idea I had this morning for a text adventure TF. It's not helped by my knowing that tomorrow, the mood will be gone, and it'll be stuck as another scrapped idea to put aside to focus on drawing. That queue at the bottom, that's what I have to focus on. That's where my time has to go. Responsibilities and commitments. Settle down, excitable weasel brain. Focus.
So... the one thing that helps with focus is my streaming, since it puts so much attention on me, and forces me to go forward. So... here's the link:

I'll be going until 9 PM Eastern. I've set a goal for myself to always end the stream by that time. I think I can finish shading by then.
Keep going, weasel. Stay strong, weasel.
