Missing Limbs

So I drew one of Oklahoma's very own mythological killer octopuses and I was really pleased with my line work. The color wasn't half bad, either. While the contrast could be a bit better, the ink was strong and confident and the colors I used complimented each other very well. I will, however, need some new brushes soon as my old ones don't hold a point very well anymore. 

The comics are coming around, as well. The work is slow right now, I only got through the pencils on a couple panels today before frustration caused me to put it aside for a while. Anyhow the pace will be picking up and it's only a four page story after all. 

At any rate, I'll be pulling out the old reference books and refreshing myself on the basics as I go along. 

I really should never have stopped. It's like I re-grew a missing limb and I'm having to learn to use it all over again. There will be no giving up this time around.

Be excellent.

It was my understanding that mythological killer octopuses can regenerate at will, so I would say the missing limbs add to the drawing.

FUCK SHIT PISS! sorry I just like being able to swear in a blog once in a while. :)
