Howdy, fellow Draconiacs!
After battling some wicked art block, I finally managed to get some momentum going on page 403.
Right after the last holiday page was done, I realized I'd been drawing in just about every spare minute I'd had through all of November and most of December and I was pretty exhausted. Thus, I decided to take the remainder of December off and that I'd start drawing again at the start of the new year.
Apparently, my art mojo decided that it was going on an extended vacation, because evening after evening, I couldn't produce anything usable. Figures were looking stiff, faces were looking weird, my paneling wasn't flowing. In fact, this whole page was scrapped at one point, with the art for panel 1 being the only item salvaged.
I think I'm finally starting to bust out of my accidental funk, though, and now that I've got most of the pencils done, I think the goal is finally in sight. Yay!
As for Katbox, you might've read that Mihari, our webgoddess, discovered a significant problem on the site's back end, requiring that Katbox go down for a few days. We'll be back up real soon, we promise!
In the meantime, enjoy this sneak preview of page 403. There's more to come soon. Happy new year, everyone!
