Tried and Failed

Last night I stayed up until 4:00am trying to finish a piece I wanted to submit to the Bendy and the Ink Machine art contest only to miss the deadline.  :bademoticon: 

I've been working on this particular picture for weeks. Doing rough sketches and building the piece up. I was hoping to take today off to give myself a well-earned rest for finishing it. Instead, I've mostly just felt disappointed in myself for missing the deadline - As I've been trying to treat what I do more professionaly.
I was already knackered with just how much time it was taking. But there was an incident on my street yesterday which resulted in me having to call the police. Don't worry, nothing that serious, I'm alright. With that eating-up a few hours combined with how agitated I was, still trying to rush the picture would never have worked. It wouldn't have been good enough to submit. This one's going to need more time. I just hope there'll be another art contest for when the next part of the game is released, since this isn't the first. And I have been agitated for a couple days with this, due to the lack of sleep and having to cut my resting and meal hours short to keep doing it.


There's also a comic contest hosted by Planet Dolan that I want to enter. I just hope I have better luck with that.  #PDcomics




On the plus side, for some reason I seem to be drawn to coming up with ideas for certain characters of mine's wedding outfits (The ones that are canonically married). It's honestly been a fun escape to think about the various elements and design choices for certain characters. Not bad for a woman who doesn't want to get married and finds the whole concept overrated. But, I guess it just goes into how much I like covering this kind of grounds for my characters. Especially when some of them push me into indulging into more glamorous things so far removed from myself. It's funny how creating a comic forces you to wear multiple hats at once. Now, it's wedding planner. XD
