December, for sure! (maybe)

Having over a month of free time feels weird, after working at a break-neck pace for most of the year, and having every other break cut short... The trifecta of a demanding client, the pandemic, and an election year all wiped me out enough that I still feel exhausted.

A downside to having so much time off, is knowing that it won't be enough for the things I want to catch up on. If I'd planned it in advance, maybe I'd have time to knock out a 3-4 page comic, and little else. Or perhaps I could complete Daisy's rig and animate her, but doing so might remind me of the client and ruin my vacation. That leaves pinups, which may not feel like enough, to me. At this point it may be necessary to either change some of my plans or drop some things off my to-do list entirely, otherwise it may be impossible to ever catch up...

Two ideas I could scale back, are character introduction chapters that, if I'm being honest, I only wanted to draw to get them out of the way and move on. Since I already didn't want to draw either of them, maybe it'd be better to just do them as text, with an image to establish the character's appearance. Both chapters are mostly driven by dialogue, so doing them as text would at least save me the trouble of designing backgrounds and trying to pick interesting camera angles.

Anyway, billing is paused again, so that's at least one less thing for me to think about.
