I seem to be suffering once again from the usual "malady" that I've been dealing with for quite a while now. Having finished my most recent image, I find myself in a creative limbo of sorts. I have ideas, new ones in fact, and a large host of old ones going back several years but none of them are standing out demanding to be drawn now. It's a bit like a public speaker asking for feedback from a crowd but everyone speaks at the same volume at the same time.

There are a few that do "speak" louder but they're larger projects I don't feel up to tackling right now for creative or technical reasons. I usually break this stalemate by finding an old, old idea that no one has seen before, which is why I finally resketched Allie and KingSnake once again after so many years. I am sort of leaning toward working on an old comic idea but am wavering on it because I don't have a clear idea how I want to redo the visual storytelling to have the action of the story make more sense.

It's a problem like this that usually leads me back to something simple like redoing a pinup. Perhaps that will be the case this time but I haven't been swayed by any of the previous sketches I've been looking through so far. It's been my experience that I'll have to break this problem on my own or simply ignore it and read a book for a while instead.
