Description
So I've been in a slump... most likely because I just haven't been drawing enough, so I got rusty. I animate all day at work, then usually just come home and veg to either a movie or game... bad Mikey!So, to get myself out of it, I forced myself to ink and color a sketch out of my book... and this was the result...

Heh snap,\ both you and I have been in slumps. It took a comic con to re-vitalise my creativity. I design all day, and I just wanna chill Excellent rendition of Sandman, fits well with the bg as well.

Looking past the background, I really like Sandy his pose (I think the arms help) really get across the idea that he's fluid, good work!

you're not alone. And I was going to paint one in tonight... but I started, realized it would be just like that picture, and said forget it... why paint it when I already have that. Move on, that's my motto!

Fuck. That. Background.
Mike. Filtered photograph? I spit on your corpse. Your colours are rocking my world though. You should put a little more backlightlight on his left side though, to account for the actual brightness of a sunset.

thanks man. Well I drew this at the jam, so I'm giving all credit of a decent drawing to me being inspired by your presence. Cause you make me want to push myself further than I would myself.

Man can I relate to that. I have a sketched commission I haven't touched in almost 3 weeks.
I really like the foreshortening on the left arm and the 'tweaked' background photo. Very nice.

thanks man... its actually sand dunes, pebbles, sandpaper, and a frog's skin all played on different layers and what not. Cause you know me... can't do anything simple.
Unless it is taking a photo and putting it into my bg. Guess that is simple...

Dude I so feel you on the whole slump thing. I have not drawn anything in about a week and half. It sucks. I like the pic. I think you added your own flavor and it tastes good.

AUGH JPG BACKGROUND!!! AUGH why mikey! whyyyy!
lol. i think you just need to doodle lots to get out of a slump. like, not worry about ideas or a huge drawing. just kinda splurge and let loose with a pen on a whole blank page. don't think your in a slump too when your drawing, it'll psyche you out.

It got me off of WoW for a bit at least!
