For those that remember/read the last blog post, you might remember that the plan was to spend December getting back on top of my workflow and finishing a full scene before posting again.

What I didn’t count on was my creativity running into a brick wall and my muse crawling off and dying somewhere. It’s actually been one of the worst dry-spells I’ve had in years and years – I’ve drawn very close to nothing since November, and absolutely no Brightest.

I think I said this last blog post, but it’s pretty obvious I’ve been running on fumes for a while. Something I’ve had a number of people warn me about, but I don’t tend to listen to people. Usually what I do with art blocks is just force my way through, but this time I had nothing to even force with. There’s zero creative drive going on right now, which is really worrying.

So clearly, Brightest isn’t starting up in January. I don’t even want to give a date at this point – I think it’s more important I try to chase down that muse again and rediscover what I like about drawing. I hope that won’t take too long, but it’s taken more than a month already and I don’t seem to be any closer.

I think the search for the muse will be going on in my Tumblr account, so if you want to see what’s going on, check me out there. And if anything Brightest-related shows up, I’ll be sure to get it up on the site here too.

See you soon! (I hope.)
